IMO BREAKING NEWS BLOG

The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, on Tuesday said the party leadership has sacked the Ahmed Gulak-led committee for the party’s governorship primaries in Imo State.

Oshiomhole said this in an interview with State House correspondents after a meeting he had with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The former Edo State Governor who said he was at the Presidential Villa to brief Buhari on developments in the party, said the results being paraded as the result of the Imo governorship primaries was fake, hence the need to sack the committee.

He expressed the hope that the process would be completed before the weekend. Oshiomhole said, “The case of Imo State is not too good news for today, but not surprising, they have to learn to begin to comply with rules.

“They have two fake results. None of them is genuine and we will disband, we will appoint fresh committee, an Electoral Panel that will conduct transparent direct primaries that reflect the will of members of APC in Imo State, regardless of the interest and the powers that were behind any of the groups.

“The truth does not require supporters’ club to stand; it has its legs, it has its heads and we will do just that.”

-Congratulates Mr President On Victory @APCPrimary. 

His Excellency Rochas Okorocha has congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari on his victory at the just concluded APC presidential primary elections across the respective INEC wards in the state today.

The Chief returning officer of the primary election in IMO state state, Prince Charles Amadi "Chavon" who declared the result Friday evening announced that, President Buhari polled about 697,532 votes to emerge victorious. Amadi who described the conduct of the election as peaceful thanked the Governor for providing security and conducive atmosphere for the elections.

While appreciating the enlarged crowds of APC party faithful and stakeholders for turning out enmass and mobilizing for the exercise, Owelle said; "In 2015, PDP manipulated the results of the South East states to portend dislike and resentment for Buhari, but unlike in 2011 where they succeeded to rig and write fictitious figures to misrepresent the facts on ground, we fought to a stand still and ensured they did not perpetuate their heinous plans of writing unrealistic results, hence the South East votes ensured an even spread for the emergence of Mr President.

Come 2019, President Muhammad Buhari shall win in the entire South East States. Besides, Imo is 100% for President Muhammadu Buhari, He concluded.

I, Akinwunmi Ambode the executive governor of Lagos state after due considerations and consultations, I have decided to suspend my campaign for second term as the executive governor of our great state.

I am committed to the program and manifestos of our great party APC to improve the lives of the people of Lagos state and Nigeria as a whole.

God bless Lagos state.

A Kubwa Grade 1 Area Court, Abuja, on Tuesday issued a bench warrant for the arrest of  Senator Hope Uzodinma, accused of issuing N200 million dud cheque.‎

Uzodinma, a serving senator representing Imo-West, Smiec Engineering and Chemical Construction Company, Niger Global Engineering and Technical Company, were charged with alleged issuance of N200 million dud cheque to Chitex Ventures and Chima Akuzie.

The judge, Mr Abdulwahab Mohammed, said the defendant was absent on the last adjourned date of  September 11, but his counsel, Eze Oguaju promised to make him available today, September18.

Mohammed issued a bench warrant against the defendant and entered a plea of not guilty for the other defendants, relying on Section 478 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.‎

The section provides that a court shall order a plea of not guilty ‎to be entered and the trial shall proceed as though the corporation involved had duly entered a plea of not guilty.‎

The judge adjourned the matter until September 25 for hearing.‎ ‎‎Chitex Ventures Ltd and Chima Akuzie, the complainants, had made a Direct Criminal Complaint against the defendants over alleged issuance of a UBA N200 million dud cheque.

The complainant’s counsel, Oluwatosin Ojaomo, had earlier urged the court to invoke the provisions of Section 131 of the ACJA against the defendant, by issuing a warrant of arrest against the defendant.‎

He further stated that the defendants were absent in court in spite the fact that they were aware of today’s date, September 18 fixed for definite arraignment.‎

Sometime in 1996, Prince Eze Madumere while still based in Houston Texas, was arrested during a sting operation by Houston Law Enforcement for running an illegal theft ring/gang that specialized in stealing selling Gold and Gold related products.

He was arrested and tried in the District Court of Houston in 1996 (see attached document for the case number and other details). He was in a Houston jail for a few months and found guilty of Felony & Theft for property called >$15,000, he served some jail time and was later released and placed on a 5Yr community probation.

In his APC Governorship form he lied he had never been convicted. This is a big lie and a reason for automatic disqualification. 

You should note, this criminal conviction was one of the reasons for his impeachment, but we did not release the documents then. We saved it for now.

It is true that the destination of secrecy is exposure. He actually paid $50,000 to hide this news from the press but alas.... It has been bursted.

All these and many more are the reasons for his impeachment.
