Another concerned citizen from Orsu local council area of the state expressed profound sorrow over the deteriorating security situation in the state, particularly in Okigwe and Orlu zones. He highlighted that criminal elements of various kinds have gained control in these regions, engaging in wanton killings and property destruction.
To address this grave situation, the citizen stressed the need for coordinated efforts by both state and national authorities to root out criminals and restore safety, emphasizing the urgency of the matter.
The dire situation in neighboring states, such as Enugu, Abia, and Anambra, has similarly elicited concern. Anambra’s Police Commissioner recently celebrated the recovery of several local government areas from insurgents.
Corroborating the observations of the Orsu citizen, an Ihube native in Okigwe Local Government area described the situation in his region as “lamentable.” He revealed that numerous wards in Okigwe local government area were firmly under the control of criminal elements, leading to countless casualties and the absence of essential services such as education and religious gatherings.
This resident also recounted disturbing incidents, including the burning of homes and even a woman being burnt alive. Prominent individuals in the area have not been spared, with their residences being torched.
President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, expressed deep distress at the ongoing violence in Igbo land, where fellow Igbos are now killing each other. He also expressed grave concern over the increasing attacks on Nigerian security operatives, particularly in Igboland. Chief Iwuanyanwu called on the Federal Government to identify and prosecute the perpetrators of these heinous crimes and implement necessary security measures to prevent future occurrences.
He further announced Ohaneze Ndigbo’s efforts to transform Igbo land, create job opportunities, and enhance infrastructure to promote peace and prosperity in the region, while extending sympathy to the families of slain security personnel and those affected by the reprisal attack in Mbano, Imo State.
Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has advised the House of Representatives member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Leke Abejide, to remain in his party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Gbajabiamila made the remark during a birthday celebration organised in honour of Abejide, according to reports.
He noted that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was pleased with the lawmaker’s activities within the ADC, adding that his presence was creating internal tensions in the opposition party.
The Chief of Staff also urged Abejide to disregard calls from APC members, including former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, who had reportedly encouraged him to defect to the ruling party.
“Don’t come to APC. Stay in ADC and scatter them. We like what you’re doing. Don’t mind former governor Yahaya Bello, who said you should join APC. No, no, no, stay in ADC and win your election. Also, bring Bala Gombe, and we’ll support him. Good luck in court,” he was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, fresh tension has emerged within the African Democratic Congress as factional leader Nafiu Bala accused former national chairman Ralph Nwosu of misrepresenting the purpose of a recent party event.
Bala, speaking in an interview on AIT on Monday, said he was invited to what he believed was a routine meeting to welcome new members but later discovered it was used to announce a new leadership structure led by David Mark.
He explained that he only realised the full agenda after proceedings had begun, adding that the event also featured Nwosu stepping down while unveiling new party executives.
According to him, the development has deepened existing internal disputes within the party, especially with the appointment of David Mark and others into key leadership positions during the gathering.

According to reports, the decision was taken on Monday during a large political gathering held at Adeola Odutola Hall in Ijebu-Ode, which attracted party stakeholders and grassroots representatives from across the district.
A statement from the governor’s media office indicated that the meeting was widely attended by key APC figures, including members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, former and serving local government chairmen, councillors from all wards, as well as current and former lawmakers at both state and national levels. Women leaders, youth groups, and other stakeholders were also present.
Party leaders at the event expressed confidence in Abiodun’s capacity to represent Ogun East effectively at the National Assembly, describing his leadership record as a key factor in their decision.
They also resolved to formally communicate the endorsement to the governor and begin mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 electoral cycle.
The Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, noted that the governor’s performance in office and his role in fostering unity within the party were central to the decision to support his senatorial ambition.
The Presidency has criticised former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, questioning his leadership ability and accusing him of failing to manage internal crises within the Labour Party (LP).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to reports, the Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, made the remarks during an interview on African Independent Television (AIT) on Monday.
Dare argued that Obi did not found the Labour Party and does not have full control over its structure, adding that his handling of party disputes raises concerns about his leadership capacity.
He further alleged that Obi has shown a pattern of moving between political platforms rather than resolving internal challenges, insisting that he “cannot fix” his own party.
Dare said the Labour Party’s internal crisis had been visible for years and questioned Obi’s level of involvement in resolving it, suggesting that he instead left the party amid the turmoil.
He stated that such leadership qualities should be scrutinised given national responsibilities, adding, “You cannot fix your party.”
The presidential aide also addressed claims linking the Presidency to the crisis within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), rejecting any involvement and insisting the party’s internal issues were not influenced by the federal government.
He maintained that the ADC situation is already before the courts and should be resolved through judicial processes rather than public agitation or political pressure.
Dare urged all parties involved to respect ongoing legal proceedings, stressing that court decisions would ultimately determine the outcome of the disputes.
He added that the government remains committed to respecting the judiciary and warned against attempts to influence public opinion while cases are still being decided.
