The Ohaneze youth council world wide , Enugu branch has unanimously pledged their support to Governor ifeanyi UGWUANYI, of Enugu to run for the senate in 2023.
The President of the Council Maxi Okwu Nnabuike disclosed this at press conference in Enugu to address the challenges facing the youths in the South- east and Nigeria ahead the 2023 general election.
Maxi Nnabike said that governor Ugwanyi as governor has contributed to the uplifting and development of Youth in the South – east compared to other governor’s in the South -east region.
He made this known while guiding Nigerian youths against the pitfall of the past
“In four months, Nigerians will go to the polls to elect a fresh crop of leaders from the State to the National level. According to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, over 90 million voters will take this all important decision across the country. There is also no doubt that the youth demography represents the highest percentage of the voting population. This is why we find it very important to address our people and chart a way forward ahead of the election”
“There is no doubt that Nigeria is presently at a crossroads, with the masses at the receiving end of the activities of the failed government in power. There is no other word to describe the performance of the present government except- failure. It is manifest in every indices, everyone could feel and smell the collapse in the economy, security and infrastructure. Hunger is at the peak, to the highest ebb ever as though the country is fighting a war or is being faced by a volcanic eruption. What this means is that Nigerians have to be very careful as they make a choice of who succeeds the incumbent administration. It is a choice that would rather rescue or bury the country finally. Nigeria is no longer sick but comatose, desirous of a miracle. We urge the youths to be circumspect in taking their final decision. Our future depends on whatever decision we take ahead of the 2023 election. It is not enough to collect peanuts and mortgage our future further for another 4 years and above.”
” In Enugu State, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide wishes to state that they are pleased with the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. The Coal City State has been a PDP State since 1999 and there is clear evidence of progression in the growth of the State. Also, as the current Governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has remembered the youths more than any other administration before it, in terms of appointments. Youths have a true sense of belonging in the State, coupled with the peace and security that has pervaded the State for the past seven years. Infrastructure has also not been left behind, with evidence here and there. We are aware of the desperate efforts by some elements to infiltrate the State and we have earlier warned that we would no longer tolerate the laxity from security operatives. Influx of criminal killer herdsmen into Enugu State must be checkmated. ”
“Having said that, we make bold to say that the Enugu State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has our total support and endorsement as he aims to move to the Senate in 2023. We are sure of his capacity to deliver and protect the interest of the youth constituency. We have endorsed him for the Enugu North Senatorial contest and hereby ask all the youths and Ndi Enugu North Senatorial District electorate to give him their maximum support by voting en-mass for him come February, 2023. There is no doubt in our mind that he will give the people true and quality representation.
We have also assessed the contestants for the Enugu West Senatorial District and our collective stand is that Engr. Osita Ngwu is the right man for the job. We hereby endorse him and ask Ndi Enugu West Senatorial District to come out en-mass and vote for him massively.
Similarly, we are also in support of the Governor’s choice of successor, in the person of Barr. Peter Mbah. With his track record in Pinnacle Oil, Mbah has the competence Enugu needs at this point in history. Having listened to his manifesto presentation, we are convinced that he is prepared for the job unlike other candidates who are just depending on one thing or the other. At a time the country’s economy is not looking any better, Enugu needs an astute business administrator to navigate through the situation and place the State on a global world map. We have such a figure in Peter Mbah. We congratulate him on the successful completion and commissioning of the $1bn Pinnacle Oil & Gas petroleum product terminal at the Free Trade Zone in Lekki, Lagos, by President Muhammadu Buhari. This monumental project is in the heart of the nation’s economy. We use this medium to appeal to our illustrious son, Barr. Peter Mbah to grant qualified Igbo youths some employment slots in the company to reduce unemployment among Igbo youths. ”
The group also endorsed the people Democratic Party ( PDP) , for the general elections saying that “Having said this, we hereby endorse the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2023 general elections in Enugu State. We took this decision having been satisfied with the party’s achievements in the State since 1999 and the calibre of candidates it has lined up for the elections
The group expressed concern over the violence that characterized the political campaign in Ebonyi, while calling on security agents to wade in by restoring peace in the state
” We want to express our concern over the level of political violence in Ebonyi State. This is not good at all as it negates all that democracy represents. We urge the Governor of the State to rein in the Ebubeagu security operatives and make sure they are stopped from harassing members of the opposition political parties in the State. Opposition parties should be given air of freedom to operate in line with the hallmarks of democracy, just like in Enugu State where no member of the opposition is being molested. ”

EID-EL-KABIR: BELLO BABAYO BELLO COMMENDS TINUBU, SHETTIMA, GOMBE GOVERNOR AS HE FELICITATES WITH MUSLIMS NATIONWIDE
The Executive Director, Networks, Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC), Engr. Bello Babayo Bello, FNSE, has extended warm felicitations to Muslim faithful across Nigeria, particularly the people of Gombe State, on the occasion of the 2026 Eid-el-Kabir celebration, urging citizens to continue promoting peace, unity, love, and national development.
In a goodwill message released to journalists on the occasion of the Islamic festival, Engr. Bello described Eid-el-Kabir as a sacred celebration that reflects the virtues of sacrifice, obedience, faith, compassion, and gratitude to Almighty Allah as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
He called on Muslims to use the spiritual significance of the season to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, support one another, and continue praying for the peace, stability, and prosperity of Nigeria.
Engr. Bello also commended the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his commitment to national development, economic reforms, infrastructural advancement, and efforts aimed at strengthening unity and progress across the country.
According to him, the administration of President Tinubu has continued to demonstrate determination in laying foundations for long-term growth and national transformation through bold policies and strategic governance initiatives.
The NDPHC Executive Director equally praised Vice President Kashim Shettima, GCON, for his loyalty, dedication, and support toward the actualization of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government.
He noted that the Vice President has continued to play a vital role in promoting stability, inclusion, and effective coordination within government.
Engr. Bello further applauded the Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, for what he described as purposeful leadership and remarkable strides in infrastructural development, healthcare, education, youth empowerment, and peaceful coexistence in the state.
He said the governor’s developmental policies and inclusive style of governance have continued to attract admiration and confidence from the people of Gombe State and beyond.
“Eid-el-Kabir remains a season of reflection, gratitude, sacrifice, and devotion to Almighty Allah. It is also a period that reminds us of the importance of unity, compassion, tolerance, and service to humanity. As we celebrate, we must continue to pray for our leaders and for the continued peace, progress, and prosperity of our dear nation,” he stated.
Engr. Bello urged Muslim faithful to extend love and kindness to the less privileged, widows, orphans, and vulnerable members of society during the Sallah festivities, stressing that charity and generosity are central teachings of Islam.
He also commended the people of Gombe State for sustaining the culture of peaceful coexistence, harmony, and mutual respect among diverse communities.
The engineering professional and public administrator expressed optimism that Nigeria would continue to witness greater development, unity, and economic advancement under the leadership of President Tinubu.

Dogara Celebrates Eid El-Adha, Urges Nigerians to Embrace Unity, Sacrifice, and Compassion
Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara, former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Chairman of the Board of National Credit Guarantee Company Limited (NCGC), has extended heartfelt felicitations to Muslims across Nigeria and around the world on the occasion of Eid El-Adha.
In his Eid message, Dogara described the festival as one of the most profound moments in the Islamic faith — a sacred season that embodies the enduring virtues of sacrifice, obedience, faith, and total devotion to God, as demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim (AS). He noted that beyond its spiritual significance, Eid El-Adha serves as a powerful reminder of the values of compassion, generosity, and love for humanity.
According to him, the celebration offers an opportunity for reflection and renewal, urging Nigerians to recommit themselves to the ideals of unity, peace, and mutual understanding. He observed that the true essence of Eid lies not merely in celebration, but in the willingness to serve others selflessly and uplift the less privileged.
“Eid El-Adha reminds us that greatness is found in sacrifice, service, and compassion for one another. It is a season that calls us to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, extend kindness to those in need, and renew hope for a better and more united nation,” Dogara stated.
The former Speaker stressed that the lessons of Eid should transcend religious and ethnic boundaries, especially at a time when Nigeria needs collective commitment to peace, justice, and national cohesion. He called on citizens to rise above division and work together in the spirit of patriotism and shared destiny.
“As we celebrate this sacred festival, may the spirit of sacrifice inspire us to build bridges of understanding, promote harmony across our communities, and work collectively for a more peaceful, just, and prosperous Nigeria,” he added.
Dogara further prayed that the blessings of Eid El-Adha would bring joy to families, healing to communities, and progress to the nation. He encouraged the faithful to use the occasion as a time for spiritual renewal, deeper devotion to God, stronger family ties, and renewed commitment to the common good.
“As families gather in prayer and celebration, may this Eid remind us of our shared humanity and our collective responsibility to serve with humility, love, and sincerity. May the Almighty accept our prayers and sacrifices, bless our homes with peace and happiness, and guide our nation toward greater unity and prosperity,” he concluded.
Dogara wished all Muslim faithful a peaceful and joyous Eid El-Adha celebration filled with divine blessings, love, hope, and renewed faith in the future of Nigeria.

Ukhomunyio Community Seeks Edo Government Intervention Over Insecurity
A group of concerned stakeholders in Ukhomunyio Community, Okpella, Edo State, has called on the Edo State Government and security agencies to strengthen security presence in the area following recent security concerns and incidents of violence.
In a statement jointly signed by community stakeholders, the group said that the once-peaceful Ukhomunyio Community had in recent weeks experienced growing tension and insecurity.
The statement was jointly signed by Sam S. O. Afemikhe, Roland Ediawe, Dr Henry Idogun, Kasimu Sunday, Mark Adogah, Friday Ododeh, Omoreige Usman, Dr Victor Balogun, and Prince Haruna Ahmed.
The stakeholders urged the government to deploy more security personnel to the community and surrounding areas to help maintain peace and prevent further breakdown of law and order.
“We therefore call on the Edo State Government, security agencies, and all relevant authorities to immediately intervene by strengthening security presence within Ukhomunyio Community and surrounding areas,” the statement said.
They also called for a thorough investigation into recent incidents of violence and disturbances linked to the annual Olimi Festival.
According to the statement, the community recently recorded tragic incidents involving residents of Kalaba and Imioko villages, while some persons were reportedly abducted during the attacks and later reunited with their families.
The group described the incidents as unfortunate and contrary to the community’s peaceful traditions.
“We strongly condemn these acts, which are completely alien to the long-standing peaceful tradition of our community,” the statement added.
The stakeholders further expressed concern over violence that erupted during the recent Olimi Festival, saying some individuals allegedly used firearms during the celebration.
They said the violence resulted in casualties and injuries, with some affected persons currently receiving medical treatment.
“The Olimi Festival has historically been a symbol of unity, peace, celebration, and cultural heritage among the people of Ukhomunyio and Okpella in general,” the group stated.
According to the statement, the festival had historically symbolised unity, peace, and cultural heritage among the people of Ukhomunyio and the wider Okpella community.
The group also appealed to authorities to ensure that all investigations and security operations are carried out lawfully and fairly to avoid escalating tensions within the community.
Beyond strengthening security, the stakeholders called on authorities to prevent further violence and restore peace and confidence within the community.
They warned that continued insecurity could affect economic and social activities in the area, including operations linked to major industries.
As part of efforts to support investigations, the group announced a N1 million reward for credible information that could assist security agencies in identifying those behind the recent incidents.
Another N1 million reward was offered for information that could help authorities identify individuals connected to the violence during the Olimi Festival.
