Chime’s wife, Clara leaves govt house



Finally the Enugu State First Lady, Mrs. Clara Chime, yesterday, left Government House where she alleged she had been illegally confined following controversies over her reported health challenges.
Mrs. Chime left the Government House, yesterday, following an earlier meeting between the families of her husband, Sullivan Chime, and those of Clara on Saturday. It was learnt that Sullivan had convened the meeting in view of the controversies trailing his decision to have his wife treated at home instead of a mental home either in Enugu or abroad.

Governor Chime had himself hinted that the Saturday meeting would determine whether Clara would be asked to go to her parents where she would have unlimited freedom or remain at the Government House and be restricted in accordance with the advice of the neuron-psychiatric doctor treating her.
The governor, with the assistance of security operatives attached to Government House had packed Mrs. Chime’s personal effects on Sunday evening and forcibly took her from the lodge to her mother’s residence at the Coal City Garden Estate behind CBN headquarters in Enugu.
Trouble had started when Mrs. Chime insisted she must leave with her four-year-old son, a plea that was vehemently rejected by the governor who ensured she was led into a convoy of six vehicles and driven straight to her mother’s place.
However, on getting there, the mother who had not been notified that her daughter was being brought home, was not at home which forced Mrs. Chime and the security operatives to sit in their cars waiting for her mother to return.
It was gathered that after waiting for close to two hours, without the security men returning, the governor, ordered that Mrs. Chime be brought back to the Government House.
However, as early as 8am, yesterday, Mrs. Chime was again driven to the estate and handed over to her mother who was said to have wept profusely on sighting her daughter.
A visit to the Coal City Garden Estate showed that the entire surrounding was calm even as about six tinted cars including one with Enugu Government House number plate were sighted in the premises.
A young man who claimed to be living at the Boys Quarters in the compound confirmed that the governor’s wife was actually brought back to the house in the morning.
“Since morning, they have been having series of meetings. Just a while ago, the governor’s wife left the house; she is expected back soon. you can wait if you wish but I will advice that you call her on phone,” the fair-complexioned young man who refused to give his name said.
Efforts to speak with Mrs Chime last night proved abortive as she told newsmen that she was not ready to speak for now.

Ifeanyi Ubah ridicules Ngige at a town hall meeting

Ifeanyi Ubah at the end of a town hall meeting organised by Channels TV in Awka the capital of Anambra State was seen to be seriously laughing at Senator Chris Ngige of the APC when he could not tell his people what he has done with the money allocated to Anambra Central Constituency but could remember his manisfesto. Just two minutes to the end of the town hall meeting which was attended by Ifeanyi Ubah and Chris Ngige a young man asked the senator to tell them what he has done with the money allocated to his constituency,but the Senator could not count a reasonable project but was rather counting his given two minutes.

Report reaching us has confirmed that more than 20 persons have been confirmed dead in Anambra state crusade held in Uke. It should be noted that these innocent Christians went to the weekly crusade at the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State to commune with their GOD but lost their lives because of our political beasts who will not rest until they achieve their political goals. 
With just days to the Anambra election, people who were supposed to vote will rather be making arrangement to bury their beloved ones. This election is already bloody. blood blood everywhere.
NO fewer than 28 persons, who attended the weekly crusade at the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke, in Idemili North local government area of Anambra State, lost their lives during a stampede at the end of the ceremony in the early hours of yesterday.
The crusade, organized by Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obinma for prayers, healing and spiritual retreat, attracts thousands of people, but the one that was held yesterday on the Feast of All Saints turned tragic.

Nigeria To Witness Solar Eclipse Today by 12 Noon.

It has been confirmed that there will be a  partial solar eclipse in Nigeria at about noon today. The National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) made the prediction at a press conference held in Abuja over the weekend.
The director-general of the agency, Prof. Seidu Mohammed, described eclipse as a natural astronomical event with no significant negative implication, and urged Nigerians to remain calm as the eclipse will not hinder normal activities. But from a research done by Naija Info Web,it has been gathered that, it is not advisable to gaze at the sun without proper eye protection. Please never view the sun with your naked eyes or with any optical device like binoculars or telescope.

Supreme Court stops Nwoye From Campaigning following a case filed by Ukachukwu

PDP no doubt is in a serious crisis as even 15 days to the election they still do not have a verified candidate.The Supreme Court Thursday barred the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from carrying out its planned campaign kick-off already slated for Saturday.

This followed an undertaking extracted by the court from Mr. Paul Erokoro and Mr. Garba Pwul, representing the party, its National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur and Mr. Tony Nwoye respectively.
The Vice-President, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, was billed to lead the party's campaign in the state.
Also yesterday, the court stopped Senator Andy Ubah from joining in the appeal seeking to decide who should be the authentic candidate of the PDP in Anambra State. In a ruling delivered at about 6:30 yesterday, the Supreme Court refused Ubah's application to be joined in the appeal filed by Ukachukwu challenging the declaration that Nwoye was the candidate.

The Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt had earlier declared Nicholas Ukachukwu as the candidate of the party but this was reversed by the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt division wherein, Tony Nwoye was declared as the authentic candidate.
Not satisfied, Ukachukwu through his counsel, Joseph Daudu, SAN approached the apex court challenging the judgment of the lower court.
When the matter came up yesterday, Daudu noted that the court should order a stay of execution of the Court of Appeal decision stating that the party was planning to handover the flag to Nwoye on Saturday.

Counsel to PDP and Nwoye, Paul Erokoro SAN and Garba Pwul, SAN respectively gave an undertaken that none of their clients would do anything to tamper with the subject matter so as not to over reach the court.
Ubah had earlier through his counsel, Lateef Fagbemi, SAN brought an application seeking for leave to be joined as an interested party in the appeal between Nwoye and Ukachukwu which will be coming up before the court on Monday. However, joined as respondents are the PDP, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Nwoye and Ukachukwu.
Fagbemi hinged his application on the grounds that it was the recognised state executive of the party that conducted the primary that brought Ubah.

He further submitted that the Federal High Court had earlier given an order that the primary election could only be conducted by the Ejike Ogbeigbo led executive which the INEC complied with.
He submitted that the lower court turned down his client's application to be joined as a party before it hence the need to seek for a joinder before the final decision was reached by the apex court.

Opposing the application, counsel to the PDP, Erokoro submitted that the application was an abuse of court process as the applicant had earlier filed an appeal which had been entered and pending before the court.
He argued that contrary to the submission of the applicant, the national executive of the party was the only authority that had the power to conduct congress where party candidate for a gubernatorial election would emerge and prayed the court to dismiss the application.
Counsel to Nwoye, Pul opposed the application stating that the order which the applicant was relying on was given after the primary election had been conducted, submitting that the order could not have a retrospect effect.

He argued that the application brought by the applicant if granted would delay and complicate the existing appeal which the court had fixed Monday for hearing. He therefore urged the court to dismiss the application.
While also opposing the application, counsel to Ukachukwu, J.B Daudu SAN argued that it was incompetent because the applicant had failed to file a notice of appeal alongside with application seeking leave to be joined.
He argued that the application was an abuse of court process as the applicant had already filed an appeal which was pending before the court and prayed the court to dismiss the application.

After listening to the parties, the court rose for about one hour to write its ruling. In its ruling, the court held that the judgment of the court of appeal relied on by Ubah was not certified and therefore could not be admitted by the court.
It further held that there was a pending appeal filed by the applicant before the court and this instant one had constituted an abuse of court process. The court, as a result, dismissed the application as being unmeritorious.
Meanwhile, the PDP yesterday inaugurated its National Campaign Committee, with an advice to the voters to disregard the candidate and vote for the party. Sambo said that though the party is commencing the campaign rather late, but warned that one week was not late to ensure that PDP wins the governorship election.

“I want to remind you that we have a strong battle and we will win this battle by the Grace of God,” said Sambo who appealed to PDP members that have left the party to come back and ensure victory for the party.
Speaking before inaugurating the campaign committee, Tukur charged the electorate in Anambra State to disregard the candidate but the party as there is no independent candidate in elections in Nigeria.
“It is not the messenger but the party. There is no independent candidate in elections,” he said while charging the campaign committee led by the Sambo to ensure that PDP comes victorious at the election.
