I really think that we should support Dr. Ngige and see that his government succeeds. From all indication, it seems like the man has the welfare of Anambra State citizens in mind and that he is working towards making the state better than he met it. It is really irrelevant how he got to be a Governor at this point. Sometimes, you have to take short cuts to get to where you are going. What you do when you do get there is what matters. Dr. Ngige from all indications seems to be what Anambra State needs at this point. Instead of people being all negative, we all need to give him the support he needs to fight our enemies like the crook Uba and those that are behind him.

Ngige Disappears Again His Aides are on the run. His ADC is missing. If those who know him are running away from him, why should those that don't know him embrace him? Ngige and Uba are both crooks. They should leave Igbo people out of it.

This is a touching act of peaceful defiance. One of the ways to demonstrate the true picture of the Igbos true plight in Nigeria.

It is now becoming evident that even if demon Aremu and his demon slaves attempt to withdraw from this brouhaha, they can only get more entangled than they already are.
If on the other hand, they attempt to escalate in order to hasten their desired results, it may now be that they can only likewise get more entangled.
In all, displaying through these shameful events the obnoxious foulness of their base intent.
All the lying and equivocating serpents like Ogbeh and co. will have to continue to twist their tongues until the shape of their mouths become permanently disfigured.
The curse is real, and they have brought it upon themselves.
May all who went to a shrine on behalf of their Abuja "ogas" together with their beneficiary grandmasters and their "willing for a fee" grandservants, seeking to push their luck in their drive to perpetrate hatred and malice against Igbo, be consumed by what they started.
The die is cast. Simply turning election victory back to APGA will now be too easy a punishment for PDP and their men of evil.
If they have secretly hoped to humiliate and control Igbos, now may their malicious intent become a maddening and self destructive obsession, blinding to reason, exposed to all, but helpless from which curse they cannot extricate themselves, till their evident doom become a guarantee.

For those who would want to give any credit to Atiku in the future for "dog"-fathering Ngige in this whole enterprise, so that Atiku and Anenih may take credit in the future as a claim to "helping Igbos", I say keep dreaming!
Atiku and Anenih, are on the same level of malicious and demonic obsession of hatred and morbid fear of Igbo as Aremu is, and their instincts to action in regards to that flaw are flawlessly matched.
Whatever is unfolding before the eyes of all in this Anambra saga can only be said to be of divine intervention, especially as the best laid plans of Aremu and his minions have been laid to waste by the survival instincts of someone they considered stupid and even slapped in the face on several occasions with utter disregard.

Talk about cut-throat desperadoes! This Ubah guy and the hoodlums he associates with and sponsors including: Judges, Senators, Reps, (and other politicians, both national, state, and council ward level) Lawyers, Policemen, street thugs, etc. may yet be flushed out into the open as things continue to unfold.
This Iyashere guy must be very clever indeed! He would do well to explain what the comments above mean?, especially the claim that “initiative to resolve the dispute by Wabara did not yield result”?
* The same so-called initiative with an accord reached barely three weeks ago? * The same so-called initiative with an accord celebrated by all parties as “concordial”? * The same so-called initiative with an accord culminating in hugs and kisses by Dogfather and Dogson? * The same so-called initiative with an accord filled with ambiguities hiding loopholes wide enough to pass a bulldozer through?
From this Iyashere guys representations, what result was being expected and under what timeline, praytell?
Is this Iyashere character one of the so-called “Nigerian” “minorities” like Audu Ogbeh who have willingly allowed themselves to be used by Aremu to attempt to slap the Igbo on the face with monkey paws and with their quick and ready unsolicited advice under this dispensation?. I hope many of these are keeping score for records sake. What goes around always come around.
This comment by this Iyashere guy is very revealing and definitely deserves to be looked into.
Please, can someone tell me when it was determined Ubah was a politician? Whose responsibility is it to have arrested Okey Udeh and other miscreants if not the government. By doublespeak such as above, this Masari guy has demonstrated that he doesn’t mean well, because the Anambra State house of assembly spoke loud and clear when they impeached Okey Udeh and others.
What other kind of political solution do these double speaking scumbags want?! Perhaps they should spell it out for the world to see, instead of hiding behind what they imagine to be high sense, performing the kind of oafish stunts they have been performing in Igboland.

Kai! These our Igbo women are tough!!! I guess this means Chris Aremu Ubah did not buy enough surrogates in Delta state!

quote: Ngige and the Anambra crisis SIR: Let no one be deceived. The Anambra crisis is a national one. It can lead to the truncation of democratic process. Let us learn from the 1962-1965 crisis in the old Western Region and its aftermath, which spelt agony, disaster, pain and pang for all. The Anambra scenario is definitely organised. On July 10, 2003, Governor Ngige was abducted, his police guards were disarmed and his life was in danger. All these were caused by more than 300 policemen led by an Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), Raphael Ige. Forced letter of resignation was disseminated by those the Governor disagreed with, Chris Uba and some others. Despite the treasonable acts, nobody was arrested and nobody was charged. Six months after, a man by name Nelson Achukwu went to Enugu State High Court to enforce his fundamental right, sued the Governor amongst others, alleging that the governor was not competent to be at the PDP South-East convention where he, Achukwu, said he was beaten up. On the January 2, 2004, an Enugu State High Court Judge made an order that the IGP, one of the parties sued in the action, should remove from office the Governor of Anambra State. First, Enugu High Court is not in Anambra State. I cannot imagine how a High Court Judge in Enugu State will make an order against the Chief Executive of another state that the latter should be removed from office. Secondly, the State High Court Judge should be aware of the supremacy of the Constitution of Nigeria. Under it, four provisions of the Constitution are relevant to the removal of a Governor from office. They are: sections 188, 189, 190, and 191. In all the four sections, it is the State House of Assembly that is seised with the constitutional power to remove a Governor. Even under section 188 (10), the proceedings leading to the removal of a Governor are not justiciable in a court of law. Thirdly, the election petition in respect of Ngige's election is still pending before the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal duly constituted under the constitution and sitting at Awka, Anambra State. Fourthly, the Inspector General of Police (IGP) has no constitutional right to deprive a Governor of a State of police protection and to remove a governor from office outside the provisions of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, otherwise, he, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), will be acting unconstitutionally and illegally. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) and his Commissioner of Police in Anambra State cannot hide under the cloak of section 215 (5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) and his men also have no right to shut down the Anambra State radio as it has been allegedly reported. Finally, the political and economic temperature of the country is being terribly overcharged. Let General Olusegun Obasanjo and Mr. Tafa Balogun learn the lessons of history in the interest of stability, peace, law and order. It is ironical however, that those primarily charged with the maintenance of this atmosphere are the people planning to pollute and subvert it. May God save the country. Gani Fawehinmi, Lagos
I don’t know why Tafa did’nt start by arresting himself since he was named in that fraudulent joke of a suit by Achukwu, so ordered to be carried out by the dupe Nnaji.

It is extremely disturbing as it is disheartening to say the least, the alleged complicity of the Presidency of Nigeria in the macabre show of shame being perpetuated against the largely peace-loving indigenes of Anambra State, nay the Eastern region and to the generality of Nigerians. This is extremely offensive, unwarranted and decidedly uncalled for. It is a twist of irony that Olusegun Obasanjo, a character on whom history has been undeservedly generous, sits atop this shenanigan. To elevate fickleness of mind above statesmanship is not a virtue to be embodied by a sitting president over 120 million people, this is indecent and a notable character flaw. History will record this travesty against the law-abiding citizens of Anambra as yet another chapter in the list of atrocities of the Yoruba against the Igbo. Let's face it, the three men (Olusegun Obasanjo-President;Olujimi- Atty General; Tafa Balogun- IG of Police) ultimately reposed with the maintenance of security in the polity are all descendants of Oduduwa. What an abiding shame. What all of these show is that it is extremely unwise to trust a Yorubaman with power. I wonder where this leaves the up and coming generation of good-intentioned Yoruba descendants. On a final note however, it is a serious matter in Yorubaland for one to witness his own mock burial and i hope Obasanjo will wisely take a cue from this and either make ammends or abdicate for the good of the country.

quote:Tension Mounts in Awka Uba Supporters Hold Big Rally Assembly Members Split Bakassi Boys Take Over Ngige's Security
P.M. News (Lagos)
January 9, 2004
Uba Aham Awka
There was palpable tension in Awka, capital of Anambra State this morning, as supporters of Chris Uba, the self-styled godfather of Anambra politics, mounted a big rally to press for the removal of Governor Chris Ngige.
The rally was on at press time, at the border between Anambra and Enugu state, simultaneously as tens of Bakassi Boys formed a shield around the Governor's Lodge.
Four truckloads of mobile policemen stormed Awka today, as several thousands of regular policemen mounted surveillance at strategic places both in Awka and the commercial town of Onitsha.
The most dramatic of the developments in Awka today was the news that some members of the State House of Assembly addressed a press conference to support the removal of Ngige. The rebel assemblymen were led Mr. Sam Anyakora, representing Ihiala constituency. There were Nelson Achukwu, Ucheria Anazodo, Mike Offor, Louis Nkemdilim, with him. Anyakora claimed that the Governor's support base in the House has whittled down to 13 members and that their group support Achukwu and the Enugu court order against the governor.
Initial reports said fifteen members of the House were poised, at about noon today, to meet the press, to make the declaration. But by noon, only eight members were seen at the conference venue.
But Ngige's Special Adviser on Information, Fred Chukwuluobe said the enemies of the governor do not have 15 members. "Twenty six of the members are fully in support of the governor. It is not true that 15 members are against the governor. Only Achukwu and three other members are not for us", he told P.M. News in an interview this afternoon. There are 30 members of the assembly.
Early in the week, majority of the members of the House, along with Speaker Balonwu, had declared support for Ngige, whose securitymen were withdrawn Monday on the orders of the Inspector-General of Police. On suspicion that he may be a target of assassination, Governor Ngige quickly melted into hiding, appearing to address his supporters and broadcast to his people. Yesterday, the governor also surfaced.
The action of the police followed a court order by Justice Stanley Nnaji of the Enugu High Court. The judge validated the alleged resignation letter of Governor Ngige, sent to the House on 10 July, when he was abducted by a police team led by AIG Raphael Ige, based on the promptings of Chris Uba and a member of the House of Representatives, Chuma Nzeribe.
The suit was filed on 24 December by a suspended member of the House, Paraplegic Nelson Achukwu. He had gone to court to seek several declarations and the enforcement of his fundamental rights as a member of the PDP.
The court gave its verdict on Friday, 2 January and in lightning speed, the Inspector-General of Police, instructed the police commissioner in the state, Donald Iroham to withdraw the security details of Governor Ngige.
On Tuesday, Ngige's lawyers got an Awka High Court to restrain the police IG from interfering in the governance of the state and to restore Ngige's securitymen. But the police have not complied with the order. Ngige's appeal in a higher court of the Enugu judgement has been scheduled for 12 January. Many Nigerians have condemned the police action in Anambra State as unconstitutional.
Why are are they dragging Bakassi Boys into it?

My current impression of the Bakassi boys, having gone through a thorough metamorphosis from my first initial impression based on their complicity in some dirty deeds and based on their use by Mbadinuju, is that they have been thoroughly infiltrated and compromised as an organization of which Igbos should even begin to rely upon.
Is Chuma Nzeribe not a part of the manipulation and use of that outfit at some level? All these people were at sometime at the disposal and use of Emeka offor and Chris Ubah in the ultimate service of Aremu.
To be consoled by the bakassi boys on the part of Ngige is to me like for achicken to be consoled by the fox.
I would steer very clear. Aremu has proven cunning and clever enough to be the one doing the stabbing and the selfsame one using his many leprous fingers to do the consoling and supporting. All toward the end of getting his quarry from another oblique and unexpected angle.
Ngige has proven to him, to be slippery enough to demand that much effort.
But Aremu will get more dirty and bloodied the harder he keeps trying. He is under a curse and he is stuck as a result of his own doing.
As for the so-called supporters of Ngiges ouster, (not for the legitimate reason of surrender to APGA mind you, but in furtherance of PDP, Aremu, Anenih, Ubah, Wabara's goals), As for those clowns?
A quick review of this thread will reveal that they are the same ones who are reported to have been purchased by Aremus funding through the person of Ubah, and the logistical deployment of Raphael Ige on orders from Tafa.
One can then see the sinister approach with which Adolph Judas Wabara attempted to reinsert these clowns through the ambiguously worded so-called Owerri accord, already pre-perfected in preparation for the second coup initiated from Enugu by Nnaji, of which, had it been successful, these clowns would then have emerged more emboldened and with momentuum on their side, and accumulated an additional number of fence sitters to comprise a compelling majority who would legitimize with automatic effect the outcome of the coup.
At which time Aremu, Atiku, Tafa, Ogbeh, Wabara, would come out as with one voice, urging abidance by the constitution as one could see they were already doing, and warning about the deleterious effects of "overheating the polity" through reckless comments on the issue.
A veiled threat to members of the media, meant to contain public distemper while they move to consolidate through cover-up and sheer boldfacedness their ignominious fait-accompli.

It is obvious that the demons at work have tried all sorts of schemes. They have even tried to ask Balonwu (the current speaker) to take over as governor, a devilish ruse to test his integrity and a bait should he display a lust for power.
Balonwu, a man of the highest integrity has told them in no uncertain terms to go straight to hell where they belong. One begins to wonder that they may soon start going for Balonwu from the National level.
My opinion with regard to Ngige's removal on the basis of his complicity in this sordid mess is there for all to see from a previous posting on this thread. I must say however that under these circumstances, Ngige must retain our support toward the total thwarting of this whole assault. This is because he has proven to be the lightening rod by which the dastardly deeds of these beastly demons have been exposed to the blazing rays of the light of truth.
All Anambrarians are no doubt by now well appraised of the complicity of Ngige and Mbadinuju in allowing, due to an absence of integrity on their parts, the abuse and humiliation of Anambra and Igbos by Aremu and his use of the PDP party machinery.
As a result of this awareness, everyone now seems to understand that at some point or other, Ngige would have to be fired (in such a way that further demonstrates the rotten decay of the vessel which brought him in), as an act of self healing and carthasis.
The rejection of the attempted removal of Ngige under the auspices of Aremu's will and terms, as reflected by the desperado actions of all the Judases in the Igbo midst (now being exposed one by one to their eternal shame) however, is what we must be unanimous in expressing.
If Ngige has learnt his lesson and decides to salvage a modicum of his Family name and repentantly supports APGA's rightful ownership of the governorship as prescribed by Dikeanaatuegwu's posting above, then he would have gone a long way to have secured a redemptive appreciation of his efforts by all Igbo in the eternal anals of our history, thereby differentiating himself by an unbridgeable chasm, from the disgraceful lack of moral discernment of his vacillating predecessor Mbadinuju.
On the same note still, can one imagine what things would have been like if APGA had won without incident?
Villains like Chris Ubah, Judge Stanley Nnaji, Okey Udeh, Eucharia Anazodo, Raphael Ige, Chuma Nzeribe, Nelson Achukwu, and co. would have remained largely anonymous, continuing their manipulations from the background to the eternal detriment of the Igbo race. TUFIAKWA!!!
IGBO! NAKWA NU A CHECKI!!!

Gani To Lead Ngige’s Defence Team John Awe Martin Ayankola, Lagos
Dr. Chris Ngige has contacted Nigeria’s foremost pro-democracy Lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Chief Gani Fawehinmi to lead the legal battle to save his seat (Saturday Tribune gathered reliably that a letter to that effect was faxed to the fiery Lagos based lawyer yesterday morning by the Anambra State Attorney General.
It was learnt that the thinking in Awka right now is that the situation the Anambra State governor has found himself required the experience and knowledge of such a senior member of the bar as Chief Fawehinmi in order to secure victory for the embattled governor.
A curious legal upper hand was achieved by opposing camp when Justice Stanley Nnaji of the Enugu High Court gave an order empowering the Inspector General of Police (IG) to remove Dr. Ngigi as Governor of Anambra state last Tuesday.
Following the order, the IG sent a detachment of mobile policemen numbering about 100 to the Government House, Awka in the early hours of Tuesday to disarm the governor’s security personnel and withdraw them.
The State Attorney General in a counter action headed for an Anambra State High Court where he was able to get an order restraining the IG and the state commissioner of police from disturbing the governor in the performance of his duties.
Following the order of the latter court, prominent public figures and authorities including the Attorney General of the Federation have called for the maintenance of the status quo in view of the two conflicting orders from the courts.
Analysts believe that the lingering crisis in the state may now be permanently resolved at the law courts.
Efforts to reach Chief Fawehinmi on Friday proved abortive.

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that this Yoruba/Edo terrorist group called NADECO will emerge again, now that Obasanjo's term is coming to an end. They want to use the Anambra crisis as an excuse.
quote:As NADECO Re-groups Over Anambra... Igbos Should Resolve Crisis, Says Ogbeh
Dariye: Only Obasanjo can handle it
Uba family cries out
By Oma Djebah in Lagos, Chuks Okocha, Ahamefula Ogbu in Abuja and Funmi Omale in Jos
Dariye maintained that all parties concerned should tow the path of peace by dialoguing saying "unless the parties commit themselves to an amicable resolution, peace would remain elusive."
Meanwhile, the family of Chris Uba, fingered for the festering political problems in Anambra state, has raised an alarm alleging that there were plots to assassinatethe elder brother of businessman, Mr. Andy Uba, an aide of President Olusegun Obasanjo.
In a statement issued at the weekend by the family in Abuja, the plot was leaked by an unnamed member of the group sent to kill their brother, adding that Andy was to be killed in Abuja by the professional assassins.
The statement, which was signed by one Mr. Jimmy Asiegbu, said that those who contracted the assassins were top politicians of the state in collaboration with some others living in Abuja.
"It has come to our knowledge that some people have been contacted to carry out an assassination of our senior brother, Andy Uba. Inform-ation available to us reveal that the plot was hatched by some politicians in Anambra state together with their godfathers in Abuja", they said.
Continuing, the statement said that, "we know that the plotters might have embarked on this condemnable act in order to silence the Uba family and cause confusion in the state".
Asiegbu put the number of the assassins hired to carry out the act as 10, adding that they chose Abuja to kill him since Andy rarely visits Anambra state.
"We want to say that while this matter has been reported to the law enforcement authorities, the Uba family is a peace loving family which would not want to engage in any violence over politics or for whatever reason.
"We therefore urge those behind this plot to realize that their plans have been leaked and that they should desist from this."
The statement further claimed that the assassins had been mobilized to carry out the act and advised them to desist from troubling the Uba family, which he claimed was peaceful, and have contributed immensely to the development of the state and Nigeria ingeneral.
Meanwhile, worried about all these developments, the NADECO said it is not proper for it to sit down and watch the country thrown into anarchy.
Said Adesanya: "NADECO was a child of circumstance. And what is happening in Anambra state now cannot be allowed to continue. So when you ask me whether NADECO will meet again I can tell you that right thinking people are not happy with what is happening in Anambra state. So there is no doubt that NADECO will have to meet again. We will regroup again but for now, I cannot tell you categorically that this is the date we will meet or this is the position we will take when we meet. But we shall certainly meet."
Adesanya should focus on his Afenifere, AD or it PDP, and keep his filthy fingers out of Igboland.
But, what is the angle of this Jimmy Asiegbu clown? Is he indirectly threatening to kill Chris Uba's brother? Everything he added to that report seems outright weird.

Grapevine, In the absence of a popular massive uprising or a credible concerted effort by South Eastern groups to respond to a festering problem in their backyard, that may well be the only way to go for now. And we just gotta live with it i'm afraid.

Addy: If your comment above was meant to show that 'addy' has seen the light, let it be well with you. But if it is a decoy to trap the Igbos on this board, YOU FAILED.
First, the Yorubas (you included) either applauded or kept silent when Obasanjo and co rigged the (se)lection in the East, but now that the bubble (or so they thought) is bursting you have made a 360 degree turn (typical of an average Yoruba) and now telling us the NONESENSE you wrote above.
Again, I repeat; NDIGBO DO NOT NEED FRIEND/S THAT CONTINUE TO TELL US HOW OR WHO MUST LED US. ALL WE WANT IS TO BE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE WHO SHOULD LEAD US AND A VOICE ON WHERE HE/SHE SHOULD LEAD US TO. Be it in Anambra or elsewhere, Ndigbo surely do not need 'friends' like the cameleonic bunch in NADECO.

I agree with you, but he could be helped.
quote:Then, hand over power to the APGA man who won the election in the first place.
We have to adopt the win-win attitude. Ngige can expose obasanjo. We should give him something in return. If he agrees to joins APGA, it means he will adopt APGA manifesto in order to stay in power.
All,
1) Uba not only did not contest for any election in Igbo land, he was not elected to do anything for Ndigbo
2) He should therefore be arrested if he puts his legs in ala Igbo.
3) while he is in custody, others can go to court to debate on whatever they like.
