My standing out Will speak for me come next election as declared Emeka IHEDIOHA

The ousted Governor of Imo state, Emeka Ihedioha, recently announced his intentions to return to power in 2023. Since he was removed from office on January 14, 2020, by the Supreme Court, the former Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, has remained dear to millions of ndị Imo. However, his quest to return to power, will have incumbent Governor, Senator Hope Uzodinma, to contend with.

The governor, who benefitted from the infamous Supreme Court judgement, is expected to contest for a second-term election. As such, Ihedioha’s 2023 governorship ambition, may not be a smooth ride to Douglas House. Despite this assumption, many people within and outside Imo state, are of the view that Ihedioha will not struggle to defeat Governor Hope Uzodinma in 2023, due to his rising popularity since his removal from office.

There is no doubt that those in this school of thought have made their points. However, Emeka Ihedioha’s bid to return to power in 2023, could have its first test in March 2022, when the former Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives, is expected to clash with Governor Hope Uzodinma at the Ngor-Okpala State Constituency by-election. Recall that Ihedioha who spent 12 years in the House of Representatives, represented Aboh Mbaise/Ngor-Okpala Federal Constituency.

With this in mind, one can boldly say that Ngor-Okpala local government is Ihedioha’s territory. However, Governor Hope Uzodinma’s bid to secure victory for the All Progressives Congress (APC), in at least one local government area of Imo state, has seen him reportedly become keenly interested in the by-election. At the same time, Ihedioha is also interested in the election, as a defeat for his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in his territory, would be a huge loss ahead of the 2023 governorship election.

There is no doubt that there have been by-elections in the state since Ihedioha was removed, with the APC, winning Imo North Senatorial seat. However, the March 2022 Ngor-Okpala State Constituency by-election, will be the first within the territory that is known as Ihedioha’s stronghold. With this, one can boldly say that the election will be the first true test for his bid to return to power in 2023. This is due to the fact that a defeat for his favourite candidate, could weaken the support base of the PDP in the area.

At the same time, it could also send a wrong signal to Imo electorates, as many of them are likely to believe that Governor Hope Uzodinma may have become too strong for the former Deputy Speaker of the Federal House of Representatives. On the other hand, a victory for the PDP, would no doubt, make the people to believe that Ihedioha is indeed, the people’s favourite, and is set to reclaim his mandate in 2023. Do you agree with me on this? Let’s hear from you.

THE MAN WITH NO FRIEND ON THE JOURNEY TO POLITICAL CLIMATE:Membis247

One man brought Modi Sheriff as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, the party spent over 8 months in court until he was removed by the Supreme Court.  This same man brought Uche Secondus as National Chairman of PDP, started fighting him, and for peace to reign, Secondus was eventually removed.  The same man actively supported Iyorcha Ayu as National Chairman of PDP. When he realized that Ayu would not work for his agenda, he started fighting him to be removed. And once again, Ayu had to go for peace to reign.  Same man Brought Sim Fubara as his successor and is now fighting him.  Only one man bringing people and fighting them.  Once you do not exist to serve his agenda and ambition, you are useless to him, and he will start fighting you.  Someone that was in his mid-30s when he was handpicked by Peter Odili to be an aide and later a Local Government Chairman now refers to Odili and his wife as “one man and woman”.

Lagos State Police Personnel's Spreading Bullet Across The Lekki toll Gate Now:Membis247Blog

Four protesters were detained by members of the Lagos State Police Command on Thursday at the Lekki tollgate in Lagos. The young people had gathered at the Lekki tollgate to commemorate the second national #EndSARS protest memorial. Youths from all around the nation protested in the streets in October 2020 to call for an end to extrajudicial killings by the defunct elite anti-robbery squad and police abuse (SARS). The tollgate was the epicentre of the protests. Youths who gathered day and night at the tollgate were dispersed from the location by gun-wielding soldiers on October 20, 2020, an action which led to the loss of lives. Meanwhile, the security operatives also assaulted journalists covering the event. One of the protesters who spoke to SaharaReporters said, “The police have arrested four people despite the fact that everything is being done peacefully here. They are using tear gas and hot water to disperse peaceful protesters. Journalists were also assaulted,” he said.
