By Michael Nwokocha As the November, 2023 governorship election approaches with feverish speed and as campaign gains momentum and passion begins to rise, a new dawn beckons on Imolites to change the political narrative, that is, to effect the necessary changes in Imo State, through the instrumentality of their PVC-Permanent Voters Card. The 2023 off-cycle gubernatorial election in Imo State will be a defining moment for democracy. The election will mark a water-shed in the political history of Imo State, with the coming of Distinguished Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu-Samdaddy, the…

By Julius Okoronta  Since last April when Senator Samuel Anyanwu truculently picked the governorship ticket of the People’s Democratic Party,PDP, volumes have been written and epistles delivered about his deliberate efforts geared towards distorting already established processes and proceedings of the party’s electioneering practices. As a strong and loyal party faithful, I can state without fear of contradiction that the erstwhile national secretary of PDP, who is popularly known and addressed as Samdaddy, has been twisting the party’s rules, regulations and even turned the PDP Constitution 2017, as amended, on…

By Chike Okafor  It is a truism that what attracts wealth and fame is usually wrapped in mysteries and hidden away from the eyes of mortals, in imaginable depth beneath the surface. Who would have believed that resources as precious as crude oil, gold, diamond, and other essential mineral wealth could be found deposited deep in the Earth crust beneath the ocean?

By Kasarachi Eke People always say politics is dirty. But, i disagree. Politics is a noble and people oriented profession. A game of wit and brain and not brawn as we have it in Nigeria. As a governance system of the people by the people and for the people, the fundamental objective of democracy is public service. This pristine objective is still the motivation for seeking elective or public office in saner climes around the world. I recall  a touching story which circulated on the internet recently. It was about …

…Imo Youths, Enough Is Enough By Chibuikem Diala The Senator Nneji Achonu Campaign Organisation has watched with bemusement the recent video of the outgoing governor of Imo State, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

They are sending us special areas of discipline (skills), which our Youths will also learn. And by December this…

By Chike Okafor  Within the past few weeks, there had been a carefully orchestrated media war unleashed against leading and prominent members of the ruling APC in Imo state, with the clear intention of inciting distrust between them and the performing Governor of Imo state, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma. Within the period under review, the architects of this grand mischief had recruited hack writers to churn out what literally turned into a deluge of ill-motivated news articles aimed at disparaging and misrepresenting the good intents of these APC leaders. Of…

By Afam Echi It is no longer news that Imo State since three years is reckoned as a war theatre and epicenter of violent killings in Igbo land. What may possible go down as news is that the Senator Hope Uzodimma government has found a solution to the frequent blood lettings that have characterized his government. It is on record that since he assumed office unending violent killings have trailed the administration non-stop in spite of all efforts to control the situation. The list capturing the orgy of violence continued…

By Lancelot Obiaku Success in leadership requires not only a strong and capable leader, but also a team of like-minded individuals who bring valuable skills to the table. The responsibility of leadership is so immense that it is crucial for the leader to have a supportive team with the necessary abilities.

Conversely, if the leader is surrounded by intelligent and talented individuals who have a proven…
