As the search for the next governor of Imo State gradually heats up, various groups have been intensifying the search for a man who can lead Imo State into uncommon prosperity and development such as was witnessed under Dee Sam Mbakwe and in other states like Ebonyi, Rivers, Anambra, Lagos of recent.

Political leaders with the passion for selfless service are rare gifts from God and very difficult to find in our clime and time. Many political analysts and pundits so far have recommended men fresh ideas and pedigree that can steer Imo out of its current quagmire. 

Based on the qualities recommended so far, it’s gradually becoming clearer where the pendulum is swinging to. One man is clearly and undoubtedly endowed with the unbeatable qualities and credentials to clean the rot of leadership deficit in Imo State, and he is SENATOR SAMUEL NNAEMEKA ANYANWU (Samdaddy). 

Born on 18th June, 1965 in Amaimo Ikeduru LGA of Imo State. SamDaddy, as he is fondly called had his primary education at Central School Amaimo before proceeding to Amaimo High School. Samuel Anyanwu later proceeded to the University of Port Harcourt where he studied Political Science and Administrative Studies. 

The political sojourn of SamDaddy started in 2003 with his appointment as Transition Committee Chairman of Ikeduru LGA. In 2004, he was elected Executive Chairman of Ikeduru LGA and Secretary of Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON). Owing to his superlative performance as Council Chairman, he was christened “ACTION” by his colleagues and fans for his leadership wonders.

SamDaddy was elected into Imo State House of Assembly in 2007 and was appointed the House Committee Chairman on Ethics and Privileges. He was re-elected for a second tenure in 2011. 

The people of Owerri zone saw the sterling legislative qualities of SamDaddy as a state legislator and decided to promote him to the Senate during the 2015 general elections. A rare feat in Imo State yet to be beaten till date. Samdaddy is a jinx breaker. 

In the Senate, SamDaddy’s legislative experience earned him Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics,  Privileges and Public Petitions where he performed excellently. This Committee never thrived until Samdaddy chaired it no minding the fact that he was a first timer then. But again, Samdaddy broke the jinx as a first time Senator to head such a sensitive Committee. He was also Vice Chairman of three different Senate Committees where he brought his leadership qualities to bear. 

The legislative experience of SamDaddy earned him the National Assembly Press Corps “Best Senate Committe Chairman Award” in 2016. SamDaddy has won several awards in recognition of his outstanding performance in leadership and development which are too numerous to mention.

In a bid to ensure good governance and development in Owerri zone, the South East and Nigeria at large, the following BILLS were sponsored by Senator SamDaddy: 

1. Bill for an Act to Establish the South East Development Commission (SEDC).

2.Bill for an Act to Establish Postgraduate Physiotherapy College of Nigeria 

3. Bill for an Act to Establish Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education, Owerri (From College to University)

4. A Re-Enactment Bill on the Public Complaints Commission Act, CAP P37 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria. 

5. A Bill for an Act to Establish The Federal Task Force on Revenue Defaulters, Piracy and National Heritage Protection of Nigeria.

Senator SamDaddy has also sponsored the following MOTIONS on the floor of the Senate:

1. Passing a vote of confidence on the leadership of the 8th Senate. A landmark motion which stabilized the squabbles that engulfed the Senate following the emergence of Bukola Saraki of APC, as President and Ike Ekweremadu of PDP, as Deputy Senate President contrary to the wishes of APC leadership.

2. Mandating State Governors to conduct Local Government Elections on assumption of office.

3. The urgent need for the Senate to look into the Amnesty Programme Performance in the Niger Delta region (Imo state inclusive as oil producing state)

4. The Looming crises in the Aviation Industry, a potential danger to Air safety and operations.

5. The pertinent need to Establish Modern Abattoirs across the states of the Federation.

6. Recruitment into the Nigerian Police Force, the need to adhere to Federal Character guiding principles etc.

These outstanding legislative performance cum constituency projects facilitated by Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu indicates a man that never sleeps on duty.

He ensured equitable distribution of his constituency projects in the form social amenities and infrastructures to the communities that make up his constituency. In the area of jobs and empowerment, Senator he ensured that every community in his constituency benefited. This is the kind of man Imolites are yearning for; a man who will see the whole of Imo State as his constituency. 

Today, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu is the National Secretary of PDP and he has been working tirelessly to strengthen the party in Imo State and Nigeria by wooing more people into the party. As at today, the PDP has been properly projected and positioned to assume the presidency in the next general election.

During his grand civic reception as PDP National Secretary in Owerri, the mood of the mammoth crowd that gathered in his honour spoke volumes; the billboards, banners and placards everywhere “spoke” louder. The overwhelming joy in Imo State on that day indicates that Imolites are really awaiting the emergence of SamDaddy. They need his sterling leadership qualities to clean the rot of bad governance that’s currently stinking in all parts of Imo State. 

Yes, many well meaning Imolites have been calling on Senator SamDaddy to listen to the yearnings of Imolites and make himself available for this all important task of pulling Imo out of the current quagmire and leadership vacuum, corruption and bad leadership. 

Imolites will continue to pray until SamDaddy answers the clarion call to lead Imo out of the woods. 

Yes, SamDaddy can!

It’s not out of place to say he is the governor Imo State is searching for in 2024. 

SamDaddy was an ACTION CHAIRMAN,  VIBRANT LEGISLATOR, OUTSTANDING NATIONAL SECRETARY, STATESMAN, PATRIOT & PROGRESSIVE POLITICIAN. Honestly, Imo can be great Imo with SamDaddy!

~ Ask Him to perish his ambition of returning as Imo governor 

By Dr. Ik Dozie

Recently, the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt Hon Emeka Ihedioha stirred the Hornets’ nest in the USA when he addressed Igbo Community there on the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria. In a bid to impress his party and outstage Senator Samdaddy Anyanwu for the Imo PDP Guber ticket.  He decided to throw the interest of his Igbo people under the bus. The green cap man threw caution to the wind and publicly urinated on the Presidential ambition of his fellow Igbo man, Mr Peter Obi. 

The desperate Ihedioha cannot claim ignorance of the mood of Igbos with regards to the forthcoming presidential election. As expected, there was uproar against his unkind statements on Peter Obi’s presidential ambition. But the ever merciful Igbos forgave him, thinking that excessive consumption of alcohol led him to open his mouth so wide against his people. So, Igbos waited patiently for Ihedioha to retract his foul statements against his people but he didn’t. Instead of retracting his statement and apologizing to Igbos, Ihedioha unleashed his attack dogs on Imolites who tried to call him back to his normal senses. So, all his social media warriors attacked virtually everyone who tried to disagree with his aspersions on Igbos. So, Ihedioha refused to atone for his sins against Igbos and retrace his steps. Ihedioha allowed selfish interest to becloud his senses of reasoning by gallivanting and castigating Peter Obi out of desperation to impress his Fulani master, Atiku Abubakar. So, Ihedioha took the forgiving spirit of Igbos for granted and refused to stop sabotaging the interest of Igbos which Peter Obi represents. 

Some weeks ago, Ihedioha travelled to Ghana for new yam festival of Igbos in that Country. As expected, Ihedioha failed to guard his tongue while in Ghana. Out of his desperation to impress his the PDP to position himself as her Candidate, Ihedioha grabbed the microphone with hands in his pocket and said that only two political parties, APC and PDP are contesting the Presidency. He also said that the only route an Igbo man can become president Atiku’s victory. So, Ihedioha said that:

 “any Igbo man who supports any other party except PDP is a saboteur”. 

Ihedioha was mindful of the mass movement that’s currently driving Peter Obi’s presidential ambition and he maliciously decided to spit on such a movement that’s giving Igbos a bright chance of winning the presidency. Ihedioha shamelessly insulted Igbos who are currently in high spirit for a Peter Obi presidency to vote for Atiku and wait for another 8yrs when he will hand over to an Igbo man. What a satanic statement! 

Few days after Ihedioha urinated on the cause of Igbos in Ghana, our roving reporters went round Imo State to know the feelings of Imolites. It was a huge shock to see how angry people are with Ihedioha. Our reporters discovered that Ihedioha’s anti-Igbo statement in Ghana has cost him his political career.

 Most people that were interviewed by our reporters in Mbaise, Owerri, Orlu, Ideato, Oguta, Mbano and Okigwe declared Ihedioha an enemy of Igbo land and an embarrassment to the PDP. A good number of the people interviewed thanked the Supreme Court for sacking him from office in 2020. They regretted the support they gave him during the 2019 Imo governorship election and asked him to perish his ambition 2023 governorship ambition since he can’t support his own brother to become President.  In the words of one Mbano man, “Ihedioha has defecated on his manhood and has therefore offended the gods of the land; he is finished politically”. Another man from Mbaise, his hometown said, “Ihedioha thinks that he is smart but he is not; he has offended the gods by insulting Igbos in Ghana. He has successfully buried his political career in Imo State; as for now, he can go to Arochukwu in Abia State and contest anything he likes”. 

On realizing the damage he has done to his political career in Imo State, Ihedioha and his handlers have been struggling and sweating to do  damage control. His media aide has issued an epileptic press release, denying the obvious. His social media warriors and data boys have been sweating in many WhatsApp platforms to save him from political death. Ihedioha himself has gone to Channels TV to refute his aspersions on Igbos but it seems the damage has already been done. It was reliably gathered by our WhatsApp correspondents that all efforts to wash off the "he-goat" odour from Ihedioha have failed woefully. 

Below are some of the reactions of Imolites on various WhatsApp platforms:

According to one Chris Agoha, “ Has Ihedioha helped himself? My answer is no. Recall that he was in the USA a little while ago. He vomited a few things against the candidature of Peter Obi. The uproar against his comments should have made him retrace his steps. But alas, he dropped another bombshell recently in Ghana. Some of his handlers are now trying to do some damage control as if people are fools. He has not done himself any favour at all. Why is it that some of our politicians like to cry more than the bereaved?Why is Ihedioha trying to be more vocal about Atiku’s presidency than the northerners if not to position himself as per eye Service for PDP ticket?  People are more enlightened and there is a limit to being zombies. This generation has the capacity to think independently. Ihedioha is fast losing people's sympathy and it won't be easy for him again. Trust me”. 

Also, one Benny Ibe said, “Can’t Ihedioha’s handlers advise him to desist from campaigning against Peter Obi? Don’t they know the threat his utterances pose to his nosediving governorship ambition? In 2015 and 2019, it was a crime for any Mbaise man to campaign against Ihedioha. And Ihedioha enjoyed it then. Today, it has become a crime for any Igbo man to campaign against Peter Obi. But Ihedioha is frowning”. Let’s see how it goes”. 

According to one Akachi Eustace, “Ihedioha has benefited severally from “Operation support your brother” campaign. So, he lacks the moral fibre to campaign against his brother. Ihedioha won’t enjoy peace until we perish his ambition" When asked to respect Ihedioha’s freedom of choice,  he thundered, “But did Ihedioha respect the rights of Mbaise people who decided not to support him during the 2015 and 2019 governorship elections"? 

Another person with the name, Nze Akajiaku said, “Let Ihedioha come and be governor again, let’s see. Since Igbos are not yet matured for the Presidency, Mbutu is not yet matured for the governorship seat of Imo; Simple “. 

A Mbaise man, Chidi Ugo while fuming over the deceptive press release of Ihedioha’s media aide on the issue said, “Stop saying nonsense; we have watched the video and listened to his speech. While Peter Obi was in PDP, did he enjoy Ihedioha's support? Did Emeka Ihedioha support any presidential aspirant from the southeast in PDP as a proof that he's not against the interest of the Igbos? Ihedioha is a selfish politician who believes that it is only him that will determine the fate of the southeast. Since he believes in his party more than in his people, we have learnt to pay him back in his own coin. Let's NEVER hear anything like "MBAISE AGENDA " from anyone again in  Mbaise land”. 

Another Mbaise man, Ikenna Edoziem said, “We won't let Ihedioha have peace after urinating on the collective interest of Igbos; he won’t have peace because he's a product of Mbaise mass movement. We gave him massive support not because he is a nice guy but because we wanted to use him break a jinx. Unlike others, he campaigned with our collective strength and funds. Today, he sees himself as a super hero, forgetting that he is a disappointment to the Mbaise nation. Let’s see how he will end”. 

According to a source close to the embattled green cap politician, he is really heartbroken and has refused to eat anything because of the decision of Imolites to punish him severely. 

All efforts by our correspondent to reach the embattled former governor proved abortive as his line was switched off and he is yet to respond to the text messages sent to him as at press time. 

It’s yet to be ascertained if the embattled former governor has called off his hunger strike or not.

The Founder/General Overseer of His Royal Highness Church of God Int'l Baltimore Maryland USA, Pastor Dr Justin Chimezie Aguguo has joined Nigerians all over the world to Congratulates the nation on the occasion of the 62 Years Independence Anniversary.

The cleric who spoke through his Director of Media and Publicity of His Royal Highness Church of God Int'l Baltimore Maryland USA, Evang. Kelechi Uzomah told Nigerians that there's nothing to celebrate at 62.

Dr. Aguguo reiterated his belief that Nigeria must surely overcome the challenges presently confronting the nation, saying that all hands must be on desk to getting the country working again.

The Imo born cleric added that the survival of the country lays in the collective efforts of it's citizens to put aside religion and ethnic sentiment and see Nigeria becoming great again.

He called on Nigerians to go back to the drawing board, saying that the people should be worried that the country is not making any headway in the international community.

According to him, "the 62 Years Independence Anniversary offers Nigerians the unique opportunity of doing the right thing especially now that the 2023 general election is fast approaching and the people are expected to vote in the right leaders irrespective of religion and ethnic background" 

"Nigerians must remove religion and tribal sentiment if we must get the country working again". We have suffered greatly in this country and this is why all hands must be on desk to rescuing this great nation in 2023 devoid of sentiments."

The man of God expressed his optimism that Nigeria will definitely get better despites the mirages of problems confronting the people, saying that Nigerians should rather pray to God almighty to restore the lost values of the country.

Dr. Aguguo said that he still believes in Nigeria, saying that he will continue to pray for the unity and progress of the people of the country even as he enjoin all and sundry to join him in praying for the unity of the nation.
