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:

The former member that represented Anambra East and West Federal Constituency Chief Chinedu Obidigwe has denied a social media handle where he was said to have made Prof Charles Soludo the Governor of Anambra state.
Obidigwe further stated that the report did neither emanate from him or from his Media Aides urging the party not to believe what he called attempt at setting a negative agenda in the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
Obidigwe who is an Aspirant of the party for the Anambra East and West Federal Constituency accused enemies of the party being sponsored by opposition parties to creat problems .
According to the Media Assistant to Obidigwe Mr Dominic Okagbue in a statement;
“The attention of Hon. Chinedu Benjamin Obidigwe has been drawn to misleading and unfounded claims/propaganda being circulated on various social media platforms through a pseudo account, alleging that Obidigwe said he installed the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, as Governor in 2021”
“We wish to state, without any iota of equivocation, that such a statement never emanated from Hon. Chinedu Obidigwe. It is a desperate move by his political enemies who are bent on tarnishing his image as a tool and technique to advance their unmerited aspirations”
“Obidigwe, in 2021, was merely an electorate with just one vote. Even though he voted for the Governor and APGA, the question remains: can one man’s vote make a Governor?”
“Governor Soludo was elected and made Governor through the collective votes of Ndi Anambra, both in his first and second terms. We therefore call on the reading public to disregard such rumours and treat them as faceless and unfounded allegations geared towards the character assassination of an innocent man” he said.
A former Kano State Governor and leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Kwankwaso, says northern political leaders conducted a deliberate assessment of potential allies before settling on Peter Obi as the most capable partner to prosecute the 2027 presidential campaign.
He dismissed concerns about a hidden power struggle between his camp and Obi’s.Politics
Kwankwaso made the disclosure in an interview on Arise TV on Monday, offering one of his most detailed accounts yet of how the North-Southeast political alliance within the NDC was formed.
“I looked around together with our leadership in the north to say, okay, who do we think is capable? Who can come and work together with us honestly so that we can move this country? Along the line, we realised that Peter Obi is at the forefront of it. That’s why we all accepted to work together,” he said.Political candidate profile

He left the NNPP amid internal disputes before joining the NDC alongside Obi earlier this month.
Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, ran on the Labour Party platform in 2023 and drew massive youth-driven support across the South and urban centres, though he did not win.
Both men formally joined the NDC on Sunday, May 3, defecting from the crisis-hit African Democratic Congress.Politics
At the party’s national convention on Saturday in Abuja, Kwankwaso backed the NDC’s decision to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South, describing it as a step toward fairness, healing and national cohesion.
Responding to a question about whether the alliance concealed a quiet rivalry between both camps, Kwankwaso argued that friction between principals and their deputies was a product of greed, not structural tension.
“The problem people are having, especially leaders, is that they are too greedy to the extent that they begin to have issues. There is so much to do. You don’t have to fight your deputy,” he said.
He said his record as a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, and later as governor of Kano State, showed that political partnerships could hold under pressure.
“I had an opportunity to work with my speaker and we worked very well. I was in Kano for eight years despite the difficulty of my then deputy governor. We were able to work for eight years amicably to the extent that I handed over to him,” he said.
Kwankwaso extended the argument beyond his personal experience, saying the same principle applied at the federal level.
In the Senate and other places, in the NDDC, we worked amicably with people. There is so much to be done and that’s why you have even ministers, other executives, advisors and so on. I don’t see from my experiences of the past why deputies or vice would fight with the president or governor,” he said.
He grounded the alliance in Nigerian political history, tracing a lineage of productive North-Southeast partnerships from the first republic to the present.Nigeria travel guide
“Right from the beginning, this sort of alliance has been in existence. Now we are going back to what Tafawa Balewa did during their time,” he said.
He also referenced the collaboration between former Prime Minister Tafawa Balewa and leaders of the NCNC, as well as that of former President Shehu Shagari and his vice president, Alex Ekwueme, in the second republic.
“So also in the second republic, immediately after the war, our leaders, Shagari and others, worked very closely with the southeast, with Alex Ekwueme as his vice president. They are our friends. We want to work together with them,” he said.Politics
Kwankwaso also noted that subsequent administrations had shifted power-sharing away from the South-East, a pattern he suggested the current alliance was correcting.
“There was a change during the third republic where for many obvious reasons an election was annulled and the government under the military decided to bring in Shonekan from the South-West.
Even after that, the military and other leaders worked together and brought in Chief Olusegun Obasanjo from the South-West again. Even Bola Tinubu probably is a beneficiary of all that,” he said.
He was emphatic that the choice of Obi was not driven by regional sentiment alone.
“It wasn’t just because we are going to the South-West just because of the South-West. No. We realised that Peter Obi is at the forefront of it and that’s why we all accepted to work together,” he said.Political candidate profile
The movement of both men into the NDC has triggered a wave of defections, with senators, House of Representatives members and political blocs aligned with their former coalition gravitating toward the new party, rapidly reshaping calculations ahead of the 2027 elections.
The alliance pairs Kwankwaso’s northern grassroots structure and disciplined voter mobilisation with Obi’s national youth engagement and urban electoral momentum, positioning the NDC as one of the main opposition platforms set to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2027
Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso has dismissed suggestions that his exit from the African Democratic Congress has created a damaging split in the opposition.
He said he and Atiku Abubakar may yet work together before the 2027 general election.
Kwankwaso spoke in an interview on Arise TV on Monday, responding to concerns that his move to the Nigeria Democratic Congress alongside Peter Obi had effectively divided the opposition into two competing blocs ahead of the polls.
“Now, we may still work together before the election. I personally, and I think even Obi himself, decided to leave ADC not because we are fighting with Atiku or anybody there. We decided to leave that party because we realised that there are some issues,” he said
He said the ADC was contending with three major unresolved problems that he believed would make it difficult for the party to field candidates, without specifying what those issues were.
“Whether they will be able to field candidates in that party or not is just a matter of time. It’s not like we had a primary election,” he said
The remarks come after Atiku recently claimed on Arise TV that Kwankwaso’s popularity was confined to Kano State and further divided there by Governor Abba Yusuf.
Atiku, who is seeking the presidency on the ADC platform, also described himself as the most popular politician of northern extraction, saying none of his contemporaries, including Kwankwaso, Aminu Tambuwal and Nasir El-Rufai, commanded a voter base across the North as wide as his.
Kwankwaso did not engage the slight directly, but made clear he bore no grudge.
“Politics is just like a game. I’m not fighting anybody and I’m not expecting anybody to fight me. I have no issue with that. I think we are past that level now,” he said.
He challenged those predicting a vote split in Kano to wait for the election result before drawing conclusions.
“Let’s wait for the election and see whether votes are split in Kano or not,” he said.
Kwankwaso also acknowledged a history of working with Atiku, recalling that he served as the former vice president’s northern coordinator during the 2019 presidential election.
“There was an election in 2019 in Port Harcourt. He won the election. I was his coordinator for the north. We worked for him,” he said.
He traced his broader relationship with Atiku to the 2015 APC presidential primary in Lagos, where he placed second behind Muhammadu Buhari, with Atiku third.

The Anambra State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled 30 members of the party for instituting legal actions against the party.
The affected members include some aspirants for the National Assembly, and their expulsion may disqualify them from participating in the party’s primary elections.
Disclosing this shortly after the meeting of the State Executive Committee (SEC) of the party, the State Publicity Secretary, Dr. Sir Valentine Iyiegbu, told reporters that the decision was in line with Section 21, Subsection 5 of the party’s constitution.
“The party discussed those who took the party to court, and many of them are contesting for the House of Representatives tickets of the party,” he said.
“The matter comes up tomorrow, and the SEC stated that what the party constitution stipulates would be followed, which is outright expulsion from the party under Article 21, Subsection 5.”
“The SEC actually ratified their expulsion because they did not exhaust all the internal avenues provided by the party to resolve their grievances,” he added.
Iyiegbu noted that the only reprieve available to the expelled members would be for them to withdraw their court cases.
“It is only when the matters are withdrawn from the court that the party can consider listening to them,” he said.
Speaking on the party’s primary elections, he explained:
“In the case of those contesting for the tickets of the Federal House of Representatives, all the eleven positions have aspirants, while for the Senate, the three positions are also being contested. The screening committees were here to perform their duties,” he noted.
The party also ratified the appointment of a five-man Primary Elections Committee headed by Sir Izuchukwu Okeke, the State Organising Secretary of the party.

Speaking after the exercise, Onwuegbu expressed satisfaction with the screening process, describing it as a reflection of the party’s commitment to internal democracy, transparency, and credible leadership selection ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The aspirant, who is seeking to represent Aninri/Awgu/Oji-River Federal Constituency under the platform of the APC, stated that he remains focused and prepared to continue to offer quality representation to the people of the constituency.

He reaffirmed his dedication to the development of the constituency, pledging to serve the people with commitment and purpose if elected.
The APC House of Representatives primaries are expected to hold nationwide on Friday as aspirants battle for the party’s tickets ahead of the 2027 elections.
