2023: Group favours Asadu for Reps, says he is a better candidate than Vita Abba
…Vita Abba’s sudden opposition against Asadu too sudden, too late – NDM
The Nsukka Democratic Movement (NDM) has thrown its support behind Dr. Pat Asadu to pick the Peoples Democratic Party’s ticket for the House of Representatives, Nsukka/Igboeze-South federal Constituency in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
The Group made their stand known while reviewing the political mood in Nsukka-Igboeze South federal Constituency; reality on ground and best approach to ensure rapid development of the Constituency.
The Group leader, Onyebuchi Igboke in an exclusive media interaction, elucidated the position of Nsukka Democratic Movement (NDM) on who becomes the flag bearer of PDP and by Extension, the best Choice available for the people amongst the over Eight Aspirants who bought Expression of interest form in PDP and other political parties.
Igboke further reminded the people of Nsukka that four years ago, he was at the fore front of engaging the incumbent house of representatives Member, Dr. Part Asadu under Nsukka/Igboeze Rescue Movement on the bases of performances, accessibility, and attraction of developmental projects to the Nsukka and Igboeze-South.
Background:
Previously, I was one of those stakeholders who insisted that Right Hon. Pat Asadu will not return to the House of Representatives in his Fourth Tenure.
Then the arguments were on performance, bills and motions moved, accessibility, Constituency engagement and projects attracted.
We never said he should not go back to House of Representatives based on Zoning or he is not from Nsukka.I t remains his fundamental and Constitutional right to contest,likewise every other aspirants from both Nsukka and Igboeze South respectively.
The questions and bases of our resistance for his 4th Bid in 2019 were solely on the following:
1. “The number of verifiable Bills and motions sponsored by him since 11years of his representation at the National Assembly, if any”.
2. “Number of constituency projects attracted since 11years, if any”.
3. “Number of constituency town hall meetings and engagements, if any”.
4. “Finally to give the reasons why he is seeking for 4th term bid.”
Look at those positions, none said anything about “Turn of Nsukka” or zoning.
Results of his 4th term is highly commendable and everyone interested in knowing can attest to it.
Since Engaging Right Hon Pat Asadu, we have seen transformation of our Constituency. We believe that the engagement we had with him in 2019 election has energized him to attract more developmental projects.
Within this last three years, Hon. Pat Asadu attracted construction of the following projects:
1. Nru. road
2. Agbamere road
3. Ibagwa inner city road
4. Igbo Ano to Orba Road
5. Umugbabe OVOKO to Uhunowerre
6. Edem Road
7. Nguru Road
8. Iheaka to Ovoko-Agu Road
9. Itchi Uwani – Nkalagu Road
10. Itchi Uwenu to Nkalagu Road
The number NO 9 & 10 are still at the early stages of construction.
ALSO, the following roads are marked to start in the next phase:
1- Opi Road
2. Okpaligbo Road
3. Barracks to Agu Echara Road
4. Iheakpu Road
5. Iheaka Road.
He is first Representative to attract asphalt roads since the history of Nsukka/Igboeze South
It is important to note that this is exactly how Senator Ike Ekweremadu And Right Honorable Toby Okechukwu transformed Greater Awgu.
You need to visit Aninri LGA, Awgu LGA and Oji River; there you see rapid transformation from what it used to be.
If Pat Asadu can attract all these projects last three years, which we believe were as a result understanding the politics of Nigeria National Assembly; then why can’t we support him to do more and equally stand high chances of getting principal position.
Expectations from Dr. Pat Asadu
“We expect that Right Hon Pat Asadu 5th term bid will enable him to attract more developmental projects for both Nsukka and Igboeze-South people”.
“We also expect that our people will give him the necessary support and return him back to National Assembly”.
Questions for Engr. Pat Asadu and Others:
Why Did Engr Vitalis Abba suddenly Change?
Can Engr. Vita Abba explain the difference between 4th Term and 5th Term?
“How can Vita Abba who was campaign DG of Right Hon Pat Asadu for his 4th term suddenly turn around and want Entire Nsukka people resist the 5th term?”
In case you forgot, Engr. Vitalis and others never realized that Dr.Pat Asadu was from Igboeze South when he backed him for 4th term! What really is Vita Abba’s interest?
Engr. Vita Abba never realized that Nsukka was marginalized when he was busy backing him as Campaign Director.
However, we advise that no Nsukka person should allow himself to be used as the instrument of anti Democratic, blackmail and selfish political interest in the forthcoming election. Nsukka is known for love and brotherliness
Nsukka Democratic Movement believe that performance, effective representation and attraction of basic social amenities should dominant Nepotism, tribalism and selfish interest of few in 2023.
There is no guarantee that Nsukka man if elected will underperform or out performance Dr.Pat Asadu; and you don’t change your best player in other to favor a novice, someone not tested in the football match.
Legislative Exploits of Hon.Pat Asadu is the unrelenting focus on the development of human capital and infrastructure.
In his unwavering commitment to development, Hon. PATRICK ASADU’s legislative activities have been focused on strengthening legislative framework for development of human capital and infrastructure. This is well reflected in his membership of some of the most important legislative committees for thedevelopment of human capital and infrastructure. His legislative activities have culminated in the following bills/laws and motions:

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is scheduled to depart Abuja on Thursday for Makkah, Saudi Arabia, to perform the Islamic pilgrimage of Umrah, during which he will offer prayers for Nigeria’s peace, unity, stability and progress.
The Presidency announced the trip in a statement issued on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
According to the statement, the visit will provide the President with an opportunity for spiritual reflection and devotion as he seeks divine intervention in the affairs of the country.
“While in Makkah, President Tinubu will perform the religious rites associated with Umrah, seeking Allah’s guidance and blessings for Nigeria and its people,” Onanuga stated.
The President’s planned pilgrimage comes amid mounting expectations from Nigerians for concrete government interventions to address prevailing economic hardship, insecurity and other challenges confronting the nation.
Before departing Abuja, Tinubu is expected to commission equipment acquired by the Nigerian Air Force to strengthen its operations at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
The Presidency, however, did not provide further details on the newly acquired equipment or its operational capabilities.
Onanuga disclosed that the President would return to Nigeria next week after completing the religious exercise.
No specific date was given for his return, while the statement was also silent on whether he would undertake other official engagements during his stay in Saudi Arabia.
Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, has cautioned opposition political figures against making defamatory statements, dismissing allegations that he ordered a private facility to deny a political party access for its proposed town hall meeting.
The governor issued the warning while reacting to a viral social media video alleging that he personally directed the management of the facility not to host the opposition party’s event.
In a statement, Mbah described the allegation as baseless and a deliberate attempt to misrepresent his administration.
“My attention has just been drawn to a video circulating on some social media platforms, alleging that I gave an order denying a political party use of a private facility for their townhall event. This is preposterous and utter falsehood, because I did not,” he stated.
The governor criticised what he described as the opposition’s desperate attempt to attract public attention through unfounded allegations.
“This is shameful and reveals a desperate pattern adopted by the opposition to attract attention,” he added.
Mbah maintained that while democracy guarantees freedom of expression, such freedom should not be misconstrued as an unrestricted licence to malign or defame others.
“There’s no doubt that democracy guarantees freedom of expression. It should be noted, however, that it does not grant anyone the right to defamation,” he warned.
He further reminded political actors that democratic institutions provide legitimate avenues for seeking redress whenever they feel aggrieved, rather than resorting to what he described as defamatory accusations.
“Democracy also offers avenues to seek redress. So, let it be known that there are redlines that should never be crossed,” the governor declared.
Mbah reiterated that he had no involvement in the alleged denial of the facility, distancing himself from claims linking his administration to the controversy.

Anambra state chapter of the Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC has described as false narrative the trending story that the trio of Presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi, Sen Victor Umeh and Sen Tony Nwoye are currently at daggers drawn following the alleged doctoring of the list of candidates for the 2027 general election in Anambra North Senatorial District.
It is being alleged that the doctoring was executed by Sen Tony Nwoye representing the Senatorial District which resulted in the withdrawal of names of nominees of Nwoye for the Presidential Campaign Council of the party .
Dismissing this narrative, the Anambra state Chairman of the NDC , Hon Ikem Uzoezie stated that the report is not only fales but unfounded contending that it is a recipe for those who are apprehensive of failure in the coming election.
“One would have chosen to keep quiet over this issue but it is important to that we as a party make the following clarifications;
“There is no such thing in our great party the NDC and there can never be and the party is more focused in executing the 2027 general elections and we do not need to be distracted by the machinations of the opposition who are apparently awear of the obvious fact that they have lost the election ”
Uzoezie described the party as one that has respect for rules and guidelines in respect of the the nomination of candidates and we indeed did the needful which can be verified at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“For those who have chosen name dropping and name calling as a trade, we urge them to desist from such unlawful act and the party would not hastate to take appropriate actions in that regard”
Uzoezie advised party faithfuls not to allow themselves to be used as a tool in distabizing the party urging them to remain focused.
The Federal Government has approved a monthly transport allowance of N70,000 for public servants as part of measures to cushion the effects of the rising cost of living across the country.
The intervention, which will run for six months beginning in November 2026, is expected to provide eligible workers with a cumulative sum of N420,000 each by April 2027.
The approval followed a conciliation meeting between representatives of the Federal Government and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), held in Abuja on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.
According to the memorandum reached at the meeting, the transport support will apply across all levels of the federal public service, while state and local governments are encouraged to participate in the intervention.
However, the agreement did not specify the exact payment dates, disbursement channels or whether beneficiaries would receive the allowance alongside their monthly salaries.
The N70,000 transport support is separate from the existing national minimum wage and is designed as a temporary intervention to ease workers’ transportation expenses.
Beyond the transport allowance, the government also approved the settlement of outstanding peculiar allowance arrears, effective from May 1, 2026.
Payment of the arrears is scheduled to commence in November and will be spread across three equal monthly instalments.
In another development, the Federal Government agreed to clear 19 months of outstanding allowances owed to health workers within three months, beginning in December 2026.
The National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission was equally directed to conclude its assessment of the financial implications of adjusting the Consolidated Health Salary Structure within three weeks.
On the lingering minimum wage issues, both parties agreed to establish a Minimum Wage Negotiation Committee, which is expected to commence deliberations immediately.
The meeting also considered outstanding hazard allowances for agricultural officers, with the verification of eligible beneficiaries and associated financial implications expected to be completed within two weeks.
Similarly, a proposal seeking tax relief for workers will be forwarded to the National Executive Council for consideration.
The Federal Government and the NLC are expected to reconvene after one month to assess the implementation of the resolutions.
Meanwhile, workers in state and local government services may have to await further directives from their respective authorities, as the agreement does not automatically establish that all states have approved the N70,000 monthly intervention.

…Council to Be Inaugurated Tuesday at Enugu International Conference Centre
The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled a formidable campaign structure ahead of the 2027 general elections, with Governor Peter Mbah emerging as Chairman of the Campaign Council comprising 51 directorates.
The council, unveiled on Monday, October 26, brings together prominent political figures, former governors, serving lawmakers, technocrats and party stakeholders in what appears to be a major political mobilisation drive ahead of the elections.
Among those listed for advisory roles are Senator Ken Nnamani, Senator Jim Nwobodo, former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani, former Governor Sullivan Chime, immediate past Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Professor Bart Nnaji, business mogul Arthur Eze, Frank Nweke Jr. and Madueke, among others.

Uchenna Ugwu, and Chukwunweike will serve as Vice Chairmen.

They are Deacon Okey Ogbodo for Enugu East, Dr. Dan Shere for Enugu North and Hon. S.K.E. Udeh-Okoye for Enugu West.
In the media and publicity directorates, Barr. Steve Oruruo was named Campaign Spokesperson and Director of Public Communication, with Dr. Austin Okolie serving as Co-Spokesperson and Dr. Malachy Agbo as Secretary.

For senatorial coordination, Senator Osita Ngwu will oversee Enugu West, Senator Ikeje Asogwa will coordinate Enugu North, while Senator Kelvin Chukwu takes charge of Enugu East.
Explaining the composition of the council, Chukwunweike and Nnadozie said the extensive campaign structure was deliberately designed to accommodate diverse political interests and ensure grassroots participation across the state.
According to them, the 51 directorates reflect the party’s determination to involve communities, wards, local government areas, professional associations, women, youths, elders and support organisations in its preparations for the 2027 elections.
They stressed that appointments into the council should not be regarded merely as political recognition but as responsibilities requiring commitment and measurable results.
“Appointment into the campaign structure is therefore not merely an honour; it is a call to duty, accountability and measurable contribution,” the statement read.
The unveiling marks a significant organisational step for the Enugu APC as it moves to consolidate its political machinery ahead of the next general elections.
The Campaign Council will be formally inaugurated on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at the International Conference Centre, Enugu.
All appointed members have been directed to be seated before 3pm.
