The Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. Dave Umahi has emerged the winner of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Fresh Primary (the third one) for the Senatorial position of Ebonyi South Zone.

Umahi won 250 votes while his major contestant Mrs. Ann Agom Eze received zero votes.

The chairperson Electoral Committee, Mr. Emmanuel Adeboye, disclosed this while addressing journalists at Afikpo North Local Government Area, where the fresh election occurred.

“By the power bestowed on me as the chairperson of the 5-man electoral Committee, Governor David Nweze Umahi, haven satisfied the Electoral requirements and haven scored the highest number of votes, I hereby declared him winner and elected,” Adebayo added.

In his acceptance speech, the Governor thanked APC, the electorate, and his supporters for making him worthy to stand for the forthcoming General Election to contest for the Senatorial position of Ebonyi South Zone.

Umahi promised to work for the people of the zone.

The State Chairman of APC, Mr. Stanley Okoroemegha, said they expected Umahi to win.

“Umahi has been a faithful leader of the party, unlike Ann Agom Eze, who is not a registered party member.

“She has not even paid her dues, so she is not qualified for the election in the first place,” Okoroemegha said.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner REC in Ebonyi State, Mr. Joseph Chukwu, further added that he was satisfied with the election’s outcome.

It would be recalled that Mrs. Ann Agom-Eze who came second in the first primary election, had earlier gone to court to challenge the emergence of Governor Umahi as the Senatorial candidate of Ebonyi South zone in a second primary election which was held after the APC presidential primary election, which Governor Umahi also participated in and failed.

PROTESTERS BESIEGE APC HEADQUARTERS OVER EBONYI SOUTH SENATORIAL TICKET, AS THE PARTY LEADERSHIP IS ACCUSED OF TAKING SIDES WITH UMAHI

AJM NEWS

Protesters from Ebonyi State, numbering hundreds on Friday, grounded activities at the headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to demand the intervention of the party’s national leadership on the crisis rocking the party in the State.

In the petition they submitted to the APC National Working Committee (NWC), the protesters specifically expressed disappointment over the contentious Ebonyi South Senatorial zone ticket.

They warned the party’s leadership that taking side with Governor Dave Umahi on the senatorial ticket will cause serious disaffection within the party in the State.

“We the concerned members of APC Ebonyi South Senatorial zone hereby protest the attempt geared towards the emergence of Governor Dave Umahi as the Senatorial candidate for the Ebonyi South Senatorial Districts negating the electoral process that is the Electoral Act, INEC guidelines and the internal APC constitution as a party,” the petition read.

Explaining the circumstances surrounding the crisis, the protesters in the letter, wtote: “Agom-Eze is an old APC member who has laboured for the party. She bought her first party Senatorial nomination form in 2018, stood for primary, but did not win, ahead of the 2019 general elections. She has been very faithful, helpful to all matters as it concerns APC as a party.

“In 2022, Agom-Eze followed all the party’s guidelines in purchasing the expression of interest and nomination forms for the Ebonyi South Senatorial zone. She was screened and remained eligible for the Ebonyi South Senatorial primary election, she contested and came second to Austin Umahi Nweze, the placeholder (the immediate young brother to the governor).

“Upon withdrawing from the race, he was immediately rewarded with a federal government appointment as the Executive Secretary to Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, and we are all aware that the Governor had asked him to withdraw from the Senatorial race to enable him to represent out zone since he did not win the APC presidential primary election,” they narrated.

Stating their prayers, the protesters noted: “we from Ebonyi South Senatorial zone cry for a more competent and quality representation and a woman participating actively in politics today. Chairman, in your magnanimity, you gave women free nominations to help bridge the gap in women representation at the National Assembly.

“You encouraged the women, notwithstanding the difficult terrain of our politics. Agom-Eze was able to navigate effectively in this period,” they noted.

Warning of the consequences, the petitioners wrote; “perhaps, should the situation in Ebonyi South Senatorial zone be allowed to stand it will definitely cause a high level of disaffection within the party and the electorate within the Ebonyi South Senatorial Districts of the state.”

APC TO HOLD ANOTHER PRIMARY ELECTION FOR EBONYI SOUTH SENATORIAL ZONE, BEING THE THIRD ONE, TO ACCOMMODATE UMAHI

APC TO HOLD ANOTHER PRIMARY ELECTION FOR EBONYI SOUTH SENATORIAL ZONE, BEING THE THIRD ONE, TO ACCOMMODATE UMAHI

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed another primary election for Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone.

According to the party, the sale of forms will be on Wednesday, 27 July; the submission of the completed forms is on Thursday, 28 July, while the screening of aspirants will be on Friday, 29 July, all will take place at the APC National Secretariat, Abuja.
The primary election proper will hold on Sunday, 31 July in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.

It would be recalled that the Abakaliki Division of the Federal High Court, last Friday, struck out a suit by Governor Dave Umahi seeking to be recognized as the Ebonyi South Senatorial District candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The court held that the APC erred in conducting another primary without including the name of the runner-up in the first primary after the winner of the first primary withdrew from the race.
The governor, through his counsel, Roy Umahi, had sued the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and asked the court to compel the commission to recognize the governor as the authentic candidate for Ebonyi South Senatorial District.

But Princess Agom-Eze, who came second in the first primary, on Tuesday, approached the court and urged it not to recognize Governor Umahi as the APC candidate.

Austin Umahi (the governor’s younger brother), was the winner of the May 28 primary. When the first primary was held, the governor was still seeking to be the APC presidential candidate.

After losing the APC presidential ticket, the governor returned to Ebonyi. His brother withdrew from the race and the second primary election was conducted on June 9 which was reportedly won by the governor unopposed.

When INEC published the names of senatorial candidates in the state, it left that of Ebonyi South Senatorial District vacant.

The upcoming primary election for Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone on July 31 will be the third one in a couple of months.

However, some political observers have said that the conduct of a fresh senatorial primary election in Ebonyi South zone by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is to accommodate Gov. Umahi, and to enable him clinch the party’s ticket.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN) DISOWNS BISHOPS WHO ATTENDED SHETTIMA’S UNVEILING

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA (CAN) DISOWNS BISHOPS WHO ATTENDED SHETTIMA’S UNVEILING

{….Tinubu Is Free To Hire Mechanics And Other Artisans And Sew Clerical Garments For Them- CAN }

AJM NEWS

The Christian Association of Nigeria on Wednesday dissociated itself from Bishops who attended the unveiling of the vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Kashim Shettima, saying they were desperados who went there for themselves.

Reverend Joseph John Hayab, the Vice President of CAN (19 Northern States and Abuja) and its Chairman in Kaduna State, said this in an interview with journalists in Abuja.

The Christian body said though Bola Tinubu who is the presidential candidate of the APC has the freedom to “hire mechanics and other artisans and sew clerical garments for them,” that effort would only add to their many ropes but would not change the need for fairness and justice.

“The people we saw at the unveiling of Shettima paraded as Bishops are people who did not have enough time to learn how to wear Bishop garments. Take a closer look at their photo and you will see another Nollywood movie.

“CAN wonders why the desperation. First, a story was out claiming to have come from the Chairman of CAN Borno State only to be refuted. Secondly, there was another lie that BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) and his running mate were on their way to meet CAN President one night. A meeting that was not true and was on a night that the CAN President was in Alabama USA attending Baptist World Alliance Conference of which he is the Vice President.

“Another desperation story was that they met Papa Adeboye which the RCCG later refuted. If Christians are not important why the desperation?

“BAT is free to hire mechanics and other artisans and sew clerical garments for them. An effort that will only add to their many ropes when the political exercise is over but will not change the need for fairness and justice that CAN is calling for.

“CAN appreciate that we are in a democracy, no need to do funny and dubious things just to prove a point because it will in the end bounce back. BAT team should simply do what is right and stop the drama,” he added.

It would be recalled that CAN had kicked against the same faith ticket for the number one seat in Nigeria, describing it as injustice in a secular state like Nigeria.

WIFE BUYS SEX DOLL TO SATISFY HER HUSBAND’S SEXUAL URGE

A wife, Char Grey, in the UK has bought a sex doll named Dee, in order to satisfy her husband’s high libido.

NNPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, RABIU KWANKWASO PICKS PASTOR IDAHOSA AS RUNNING MATE

AJM NEWS

Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has picked Isaac Idahosa, general overseer of God First Ministry, as his running mate for the 2023 presidential election.
The party disclosed this in a tweet on Thursday.
“Our VP Pastor Bishop Isaac Idahosa from Edo State,” the party wrote.

Dipo Olayoku, NNPP national secretary, also confirmed the development to TheCable on Thursday.
Idahosa, whose church is based in Lagos, hails from Edo state.
The development comes weeks after talks to form an alliance with the Labour Party (LP) failed.

In June, the party said a committee was set up to lead the discussion for a possible coalition with the LP. The alliance was aimed at challenging the All Progressives Congress (APC) and thr Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 elections.
“We wish to inform Nigerians that, our discussions with Peter Obi and the Labour Party are still ongoing. Special committee was set to discuss arrangements. We hope for good results that will give Nigeria a chance to be alive, once again,” the party had said.
But in July , Victor Umeh, chieftain of the LP, disclosed that the coalition talks ended on June 15.
Umeh, who is vying for a senatorial seat on the LP platform, had said the talks “collapsed completely” because both parties could not agree on who will be the presidential candidate.
The former All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) national chairman faulted Kwankwaso for giving the impression that the talks between both parties are still in progress.

INTERNAL SECURITY: IGP BANS USE OF SPY NUMBER PLATES NATIONWIDE

INTERNAL SECURITY: IGP BANS USE OF SPY NUMBER PLATES NATIONWIDE

– Directs Reversal to Original Registered Number Plates, As Police Would Commence Seizure Of SPY Plates

AJM NEWS

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+), NPM, fdc, has ordered a total ban on all use of Police SPY Vehicle Number Plates by vehicle owners across the states of the federation without exceptions. This is irrespective of whether it is authorized, or not, as all authorizations are hereby revoked indefinitely.

This order is necessary to forestall the continuous disregard for traffic rules and regulations and other extant laws guiding road use by individuals hiding under the privileges of SPY police number plates. The IGP has therefore directed that police officers and officers of other security agencies attached to VIPs who use the SPY number plates should ensure prompt compliance with this directive or risk being arrested for violation of the order.

Meanwhile, the IGP has directed Commissioners of Police (CPs) in the thirty-six (36) States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, as well as their supervisory Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs), to give full effect to the directives as contained above. The IGP specifically directed the AIGs and CPs to ensure that all SPY number plates currently in use are confiscated henceforth but the owners of such vehicles should not be arrested unless they are police officers or officers of other security agencies on escort duties.

The IGP however warned that while carrying out these assignments, officers must ensure the rights and privileges of citizens are respected in line with the laws of the land and in accordance with international best practices. Other security agencies and members of the public are enjoined to cooperate with the Police in this regard as the moves are aimed at strengthening our internal security.
