Ikeoha Global:: By~ Comr Akpa Francis           ( CAF ) "He is like an old broom that knows every corner of the house and has brought his wealth of experience in governance at all levels and the legislature in particular to bear in service to his people and humanity at large". An accomplished parliamentarian who has stood upright in an unprecedented storm of furious resistance and intimidation.  A well organized, brilliant and humble leader who has fought and always fought for what he believes is right, a Global Parliamentarian who has constantly advocated for a more inclusive governance irrespective of zone, tribe or religion.

THERE WAS NO SO CALLED ZONING ARRANGEMENT OR AGREEMENT ON THE ROTATION OF GOVERNORSHIP POSITION   IN ENUGU STATE.  By Arch. Uche Ugwuoke Nsukka, Enugu State Those of you who have been arguing blindly, plse listen very carefully.  1999: There was no agreement and no discussions by either the political leaders or Tradional rulers on which zone the Governor should come first. Or which zone will come second or third, "NEVER". PROOF:👇 PDP was then lead by Chief Jim Nwodo while APP was lead by G.N.G, Chief Benard Eze & co. To prove that there was no arrangement or agreement, for if there was any, leaders like Chief Jim Nwodo and Former governor of Enugu state Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo would have been part of it. Now see what happened in PDP alone, Jim Nwobodo was leading a faction in PDP while Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo was leading another faction in the same PDP, Dr Okwesilieze  Nwodo was the National Secretary of PDP. So while Jim Nwobodo was sponsoring/supporting Dr. Chi

I received a delegation of the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC)/Food and Beverages Recycling Alliance (FBR7A) led by the MD of NBC, Mr. Mathieu Seguin, who also doubles asked me 665 the Chairman of FBRA. We had fruitful discussions on the need for a formidable partnership between the National Assembly and the FBRA to preserve our environment.   I also used the opportunity to press for the reestablishment of the NBC plant in Enugu to pppp employment and boost revenues for the State and its environs. Meanwhile, I must commend the NBC for factoring in several environmental sustainability innovations and projects in their operations, including the current pilot efforts to set up a number of Recycling Banks in Abuja and Lagos to bring recycling closer to the communities and empower thousands of women economically across the value chain. It is hoped that the project will be extended to the South East and other regions in no distant time. #PublishedPost

On the issue of the above billboard: I have decided not to interfere in this issue but since they have failed to let the sleeping dogs lie, then permit me to make the following submission cum question: The said billboard lasted for over one month at the location it was erected, and the Chairman of Awgu LGA makes  regular use of the same axis/junction daily when going  and leaving from work, does it means that the Chairman of Awgu didn't see or read the said billboard all the while it lasted during which he passes through that axis/junction ? It is conventional and verifiable that whoever that erects a billboard for an event or someone, puts his or her picture or name in the same billboard for courtesy purposes. But in this particular billboard, can anyone spot the name or picture of the person they claimed to have erected the billboard? If the said Billboard only has the smiley pictures and names of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Hon. Pedro Okwudili Nwankwo ( Chairman ),
