The Enugu State portion of the internet appears to have been at breaking point since Wednesday last week following the fake news contrived by the usual suspects, purporting that state governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Barrister Chijioke Edeoga paid a visit to former Enugu State Governor, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, where, among many other figments of their unfertile and …

The just concluded general elections came with its twists and turns across the length and breadth of the nation. The attendant fraud and malpractices have continued to reverberate in the land. In Enugu, the polls recorded high drama and subterfuge, never witnessed in the annals of electoral history in Nigeria. The election was not only brazenly manipulated but eventually stolen …

The 2023 elections in Nigeria have triggered a strange metamorphosis that has given rise to the emergence of many innocent traitors. Hiding behind their tiny fingers, these mutants have orchestrated heinous social and political wrongs, yet convinced that their opinionated academic robes were enough transfigurative garbs that could turn self-righteousness into enduring common good. The truth is this, we are …

The governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Enugu State, Barrister Chijioke Edeoga has raised an alarm over alleged plans by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state to use armed thugs to frustrate efforts at free and fair governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state on Saturday.

Former governor of Enugu State, Mr Sullivan Chime has endorsed the state’s governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr Peter Mbah, saying “Mbah is the best Enugu State can offer now”.

On the contrary, they are paved with landmines and stumbling blocks that often trip even the very careful, and when that happens, the fall is usually painful, sometimes existentially cataclysmic. Where I come from, there is a proverb that, loosely transliterated, says that the grasscutter told her …

The forthcoming general elections may prove a watershed in many states of the Federation, given the unraveling of political formations previously thought to be monolithic or immune to change. Many political permutations, predictions and calculations are going to be shattered, going by the grim determination of the people to enthrone new political kids on the block with vision and grit. …

Two major political developments arrested my attention as the Nigerian political parties prepared, and actually conducted their primaries ahead of the 2023 general elections. The first was the withdrawal of Peter Obi from the presidential primary and his eventual resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). For some inexplicable reasons, I felt happy that Obi was not going participate in …

I have never had fun reading a piece of lamentation masked as a press statement, as I did the one released by the Director of Communications and spokesman of the Enugu State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Campaign Organisation.

Peter Mbah, the Peoples Democratic Governorship (PDP) candidate for Enugu State in the 2023 elections, is running a very tough campaign, faced, as he is, with an unprecedented uphill in the likeness of the new kid on the Nigerian political block, the Labour Party.
