Indiscriminate display of power and weakening of traditional institution in Enugu

Published

By Engr. Dr. Patrick C. Nnaji

The current government in Enugu State has been suspending traditional rulers indiscriminately in recent years.

The most recent is HRH, Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie, the traditional ruler of Amechi Awkunanaw community in Enugu South LGA, who was suspended on October 5, 2021.

It would be recalled that the present administration had on the 21st day of September 2021, suspended HRH Igwe C.E. Okwor of Aku, in Igbo Etiti, LGA, due to alleged demolition of a residence belonging to a visually handicapped man.

Also, the earlier suspension of HRH Igwe Bernard Nwoye and Igwe Cyprian Ekwochi of Akwuke and Akwuke Uwani, respectively, on the 7th day of November 2019, scheduled for 30 days but still subsisting two years later, and that of HRH Igwe Onyefulu Ilomaonweya of Amaetiti Achi on 17th day of April 2018.

My concern is not so much with the suspension of these royal fathers as it is with the manner in which it was carried out without fair hearing, thorough investigation, and, in the case of HRH, Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie, no due process.

This poses a risk, as this rash display of authority may damage the institution, give negative impression of democracy, and lead to future disruptions of peace and anarchy in communities where touts and government officials become demigods and misled the government of the people, by the people and for the people.

What exactly do I mean? Without a thorough investigation into the alleged offenses, many of the above traditional rulers were suspended. This is essential, given the importance of this great institution and the effect of weakening this institution on Enugu State’s peace and security.

The weakening of this institution will result in a disruption of peace and stability in the long run, rather than the maintenance of peace and stability asserted as the basis for the suspensions.
In their best-selling book ‘Why Nations Fail,’ Darron Acemoghu and James Robinson maintained that the difference between poverty and success of states or nations is determined by the institution driving decision-making.

During his visit to Ghana, Barack Obama, the former president of the United States of America, stated that Africa requires strong institutions rather than powerful men.
As a result, weakening our institution by rash displays of authority as in recent suspension leads to poverty rather than wealth. Poverty is not only a financial problem, but it is also a psychological issue.

As a result, the state government of Enugu State should retool its process and manner it issues suspension to traditional rulers.
Igwe C.E. Okwor, for example, alleged that the said visually handicapped man was being used as a proxy to seize land from the community, albeit I am not defending him because I am not entirely aware of what happened.

Instead of a hasty suspension of the royal father, a proper investigating team, such as the State’s Disputes Resolution/Mediation if one exists and if one does not, a new one should be formed to conduct a thorough investigation into each incident and offer fair solutions without pandering to powerful figures in the community, as the government has been accused of doing.

The royal fathers of Akwuke and Akwuke Uwani, who were suspended for 30 days but have now been held for more than two years, are in the same boat. This results in the deterioration of our traditional institutions, which are unavailable in any other part of the country and leaves negative impression of our fledgling democracy especially in our state.

I felt compelled to write in response to HRH Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie’s recent suspension, as he is the traditional ruler of my community, Amechi Awkunanaw.

The traditional rulers’ squabble began a few years ago when it was claimed that the former governor of old Anambra State, Sen. Jim Nwododo, requested him to sign and backdate a document claiming that the land where Satellite Press was previously sited was given to him (Jim Nwobodo) as a gift by the community rather than as an overriding interest for a place to build a company that would provide jobs for our people.

When the royal father refused, the former governor took up arms against the royal family. If not for the tenacious position of Late Justice Eddy Onyia rtd., whose death was so terrible to the community, and Hon. John Ngene Egbo, former commissioner and the duly elected town union president, Sen. Nwobodo would have been able to discredit the inaugural Offala ceremony of the Royal father.

The Offala was a smash hit. As a result of this achievement, the former governor resorted to using the State government’s official apparatus to sow discord and instability in the community.

He began by assembling a group of concerned citizens, with whom he established a parallel town union in the community, with the help of the chairman of Enugu South LGA and the commissioner for Rural Development, to help him achieve his goal of acquiring Satellite land.

By suspending the community constitution, they were able to do so. The governor had interfered, but Sen. Nwobodo and his wife, feeling that they had the governor’s ear, refused to listen to sound advice on how to SHARE the land with the indigenous people.

After failing to bring Sen. Jim Nwobodo to the table for conversation, the indigenes of Amechi decided to take legal action. The case of the parallel town union and Satellite land is now being litigated in several Enugu state courts. In order to maintain peace and order, Amechi Awkunanaw, who was burdened by a law-abiding traditional ruler, chose the legal route.

When the parallel town union failed to produce the desired results, a strategy was devised to have the traditional ruler, Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie, suspended.

This is because they attempted everything, they could to incite unrest in the community, but the royal father refused to give up and kept soothing down his citizens, begging them not to succumb to bloodshed.

They expected bloodshed when the parallel town union was formed, but the royal father and the duly chosen town union members chose to use legal means.

The Enugu South council chairman and the leadership of the parallel town union expected a reaction from the youths when they broke the keys to the civic center, but the royal father let them have their way in order for peace to reign. They were gathering there, but the duly elected members of the town union were patiently waiting for a judicial decision on the matter.

Despite the pending legal cases, the parallel union went ahead and started collecting development levies and spending the money without regard for the community bye-laws.

The community was also calm and law-abiding when the alternative town union, led by the LGA chairman, threw aside our constitution and suspended the Igwe, despite the fact that they lacked such powers and committing sub judice because its legitimacy is still pending in court.

The government accepted a suspension letter from them knowing fully well it was a result of an illegality and acted on it too.

It’s no surprise they acted quickly following the death of Late Justice Eddy Onyia rtd., a legal luminary who was on the side of truth and justice, and, had advocated for a legal approach as the best option.
However, it seems to me they were playing the script written for them.

The royal father was then suspended due to a security breach in the community, which was surprising because such breach does not exist in the community.

More unexpected is that it was previously alleged that the traditional ruler was told that if he does not comply and sign the document produced by Sen. Jim Nwobodo, he will lose his title as Igwe. This was underlined when, notwithstanding the presence of our Igwe, one John Ogbe Ngene was paraded as Igwe elect by the purported concerned citizens loyal to Sen. Jim Nwobodo violating traditional Rulers law of the State during the commissioning of Amechi Bailey Bridge by the Governor of the State.

The case is still being litigated in Enugu State Court. Also, the royal father was not served an invitation for a meeting with the commissioner of chieftaincy matters on the day of suspension; instead, the invitation was sent to WhatsApp groups and social media. The lack of a formal invitation to the traditional ruler, as well as the publication of the invitation and an alleged security breach through social media without investigation, is a parody of the ancient institution and an intimidation of the first order. This isn’t right.

The government’s use of social media to weep up sentiments before carrying out its predetermined cruel and selfish actions are slowly eroding our historic institution and democracy. Worse, the majority of government actions are aimed at appeasing an individual or group of persons at the expense of the citizens or general public. This is completely ridiculous.

Enugu state’s government has recently been accused of land grabbing, particularly in and around the Amechi Awkunanaw districts of Enugu South LGA.

The majority of the traditional rulers who have been suspended refer to suspected land grabs, particularly if the traditional ruler fails to join with the government machinery or its allies.
This appears to be the case, particularly in the case of Igwe Anthony Ogbodo Okorie’s suspension. The suspension is obviously linked to a land dispute between the community and Sen. Nwobodo, the former governor of old Anambra State.

This began when Sen. Jim Nwobodo, after erecting the Enugu State Housing Corporation’s signpost, began selling the community landed property that had been provided for the construction of a factory that would provide work for the community’s residents, against the overriding public interest for which the land was donated for.

This is a terrible situation. Governments that were elected to serve the people as a whole are now acting against the people as a whole and serving an individual. This indicates that our communities are in jeopardy. I appeal to all well-meaning Enugu state indigenes, both at home and abroad, to intervene and redirect the government to do the right thing.

This is because the government’s dismantling of this wonderful institution in order to appease individuals’ spells disaster for us and our unborn children. Let the downtrodden masses’ cries be heard by God in heaven. God give people power to do good to all people rather than serving the interest of one man in a society.

The Unsung Hero Of The Osun Election – By Felix Oboagwina

Published

on

Maduka University

By Felix Oboagwina

Towards the Osun State governorship election of August 15, not a few expected heaven to fall. All the signs were there. “Dead body surplus,” as they say on the streets. No fewer than 29 corpses laid underneath the soil, lives cut short for a purely political reason. Records cited 79 violent incidents. Thugs had been imported to complement local thugs.

When E-Day came, Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) invaded Osogbo, the state capital, with all its Federal might. Up to 16 governors, alongside national figures like the Senate President and Speaker, vacated their comfort zones and migrated with brazenly loud–mouthed and foul–mouthed foot–soldiers into Osun, a state their party had declared a warzone they must conquer at all costs.

It did not matter to these APC goons that what they desired did not desire them. Osun people did not hide their love for their dancing Governor Ademola Adeleke. For these citizens, this beautiful soul with a distinguished family pedigree had not only waltzed his way into their hearts, he had in performance and projects surpassed the last two APC governors.

The Nigerian police had taken sides. They were unabashedly pro-APC. For all the killings unleashed against Accord, Adeleke’s party, the police still haven’tbrought any murderer to trial. Unfettered andunrestrained, the death squad roamed the streets of Osun seeking Accord people to devour. But as the Yoruba say, the craftiness of a concubine’s inner-circle can be equally matched by the cunningness of the husband’s own. Accord supporters also showed that, when pushed to the wall, they could match fire for fire. They made APC members too to pay the supreme price. Miffed with the fight-back, a certain Senator publicly egged his people to “kill Accord” members on sight. He spoke openly and on record. Yet the police failed to rein him in. On the other hand, Osun State Government VIPs, like the Chief of Staff, were rounded up. The Chief of Staff to the Governor, ANY GOVERNOR, is His Excellency’s nerve centre. Picking up Adeleke’s CoSamounted to going for Adeleke himself. But this was police victimising the victim.

The Progressives’ usual bad boys breezed in from Lagos and Abuja. They dared the Governor. They brazenly defied his efforts to enforce the peace. With police serving as their rear guard, they raided bus–stops. When Navyofficers, equally brought in to provide security, picked up these goons and guns, police trampled upon “espirit de corps,” attacked this sister Force and freed the hoodlums.

In the midst of all this bizarreness, Grammy nominee musician and nephew to the Governor, Davido, internationalised APC’s iniquity. He swore to drag the Federal-ruling party to the US, the UN, the UK and the EU if it rigged the election results.

However, the most important element in Nigeria’s election is the umpire: INEC. Would the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) withstand or would it kowtow to the Federal ruling party like the police had done? It all boiled down to the new man running the commission.

When the newest Sheriff landed in INEC in October 2025, sceptics shook their fists in anger. Like the President, Professor Joash Amupitan is Yoruba. And sceptics quickly disparaged the appointment of this University of Jos Law Professor as fitting into the established profile of the President as a regional, Yoruba-centric leader. Multifarious attacks landed from several sides. The appointee’s anonymity did not help matters. Who was this Amupitan? Unlike Professor Attahiru Jega, Justice Victor Ovie–Whiskey, Justice Tayo Akpata, Professor Maurice Iwu, Professor Humphrey Nwosu and others who hugged the klieg–lights long before securing the electoral umpire job, Amupitan came from the shadows. No one knew him. UNIJOS, from where he obtained his Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate degrees, hardly made the news –much less this Professor of Law who earned his silk as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 2014. Even the little known about this UNIJOS teacher, who rose to become its Deputy Vice Chancellor, sparked controversy and rendered him politically incorrect to the powers-that-be in the Northern establishment. Why? One paper he wrote undid him. In the paper he presented in 2020, this Christian Prof had dared to pontificate against the terrorism that ravaged the North and the Fulani militants behind the bloodshed. Titling his paper as, “Nigeria’s Silent Slaughter,” the Senior Advocate of Nigeria called for urgent international intervention to stop what he termed “pogrom and attacks against the Christians and minority groups in Nigeria” by two extremist movements —Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen. He didn’t stop with just naming and shaming these two genocide squads. Amupitan went ahead and committed the unpardonable sin of criticising the government for recognising Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation but failing to officially label Fulani herdsmen as terrorists. And in 2020, when Amupitan wrote that paper, remember, the Pan-Fulani Muhammadu Buhari held sway as President.

For that singular literary work, the Northern oligarchydeclared the North-Central Kogi State-born Amupitan an anathema. They piled pressure on Tinubu to discard him like a menstrual rag. The President stubbornly paid them deaf ears.

Amupitan appears to have justified Tinubu’s confidence, and that of those who spoke up for this SAN. Under this 62-year-old Prof, INEC has held by-elections and off-cycle elections, and not one governorship poll has been returned inconclusive. None!

Think! This was the same INEC which, under its last Chairman Mahmood Yakubu, littered the entire country with “inconclusive” elections. In Mahmood’s first four years (2015-2019), his INEC conducted 46 inconclusive elections. In 2019 alone, Mahmood delivered seven inconclusive governorship elections: Sokoto, Bauchi, Adamawa, Benue, Kano, Plateau, Rivers and Kano. But Amupitan’s tenure looks like a breath of fresh air.

Same INEC!

Same Commissioners!

Same Resident Electoral Commissioners!

So what changed? A new man steers INEC’s wheel! A new sheriff came to town! Not many have sung his praise. But the Osun elections proved just how stubborn and principled this gentleman can be. Governors, 16 of them, encamped in Osun. They came with tons of cash and foot–soldiers primed to snatch, grab and run. But all theirthunder and their shenanigans fizzled out into a whimper. But their efforts didn’t die easily. Phone calls assailed Amupitan from all corners –the National Assembly, The Presidency– ordering him: Stop the counting! Announce the election as inconclusive! But the UNIJOS Prof turned deaf ears and insisted the process ran its course. At the end of the day, votes counted. This unsung hero, Amupitan, ensured this happened in Osun. It took guts! It took strength of character! Say it: Yes, it took the fear of God!

What many don’t know is that Amupitan happens to be one of these public servants who cannot but flaunt their born-again toga. He is an Elder of the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC. Those who know him testify that he has lived by the CAC creed and grail. To boot, he holds no less a position than the Pro-Chancellor of the CAC-owned Joseph Ayo Babalola University, JABU. The Prof practises not orthodox Christianity, but the fire-bred brand of fundamental Christianity.

What does all this portend for 2027? When it matters mostto Nigerians, will the saintly principles of this unsung hero of the Osun State election goad him to deliver a credible election? Can he? Will he?

Ebonyi 2027: Why Anyichuks Odii Is Being Positioned as the Alternative

Published

on

Maduka University

The 2027 governorship election in Ebonyi State must not be viewed as just another political contest. For many Ndi Ebonyi, it represents a defining moment — an opportunity to reflect on the direction of the state and make a decisive choice about the kind of leadership they want for the future.

Across the vast lands of Ebonyi, there is a growing sense of frustration and uncertainty. Many citizens are asking difficult questions about security, youth empowerment, employment opportunities, poverty alleviation and the welfare of vulnerable groups, particularly women and young girls.

The concerns are real, and they deserve serious political attention.

A state blessed with human and natural resources should be one where young people can look to the future with confidence, where women have meaningful opportunities to thrive, and where government policies translate into tangible improvements in the lives of ordinary citizens.

It is against this backdrop that Anyichuks Odii has emerged as a political figure attracting growing attention among those seeking a different direction for Ebonyi.

To his supporters, Anyichuks Odii represents a combination of experience, vision, capacity and determination — qualities they believe are necessary to reposition the state and restore hope among its people.

The argument is straightforward: Ebonyi needs leadership that does not merely administer the state but actively creates opportunities for its people.

The youths need more than political promises. They need practical skills, access to opportunities, entrepreneurship support, employment pathways and an environment where their talents can translate into sustainable livelihoods.

Women need more than symbolic representation. They need economic empowerment, access to finance, skills development, education and policies that enable them to become stronger contributors to their families and communities.

And every citizen deserves to feel secure enough to live, work and pursue legitimate aspirations without fear.

The 2027 election therefore provides Ndi Ebonyi with an opportunity to critically assess the records, ideas and capacity of every candidate seeking their mandate.

Democracy ultimately belongs to the people. Their voter cards are their instruments of choice, and their votes should reflect their aspirations for a better Ebonyi.

Already, political conversations are intensifying across the state. One of the songs gaining attention among supporters captures the mood of those calling for a change in political direction:

“Nwifuru kwakoro naba, onye ndozi abiago, naba, onye ndozi abiago, naba… Ka Anyichuks bata.”

For the supporters of Anyichuks Odii, the message is clear: they believe a new chapter is possible and that the 2027 governorship election could be the moment when Ndi Ebonyi choose the leadership they believe can deliver that change.

But beyond slogans and political songs, the real test will be the issues.

Ebonyi deserves a serious conversation about security, economic development, infrastructure, education, healthcare, youth employment, women’s empowerment and inclusive governance.

The people must demand clear plans, measurable commitments and accountability from all contenders.

If 2027 is indeed to become a moment of redemption, it must ultimately be a redemption achieved through the informed choice of the people.

And for those who believe Anyichuks Odii embodies the leadership Ebonyi needs, the journey to 2027 has already begun.

The message from his supporters is unmistakable:

Ebonyi is ready for a new conversation. Ebonyi is ready to choose. Ebonyi is ready for a new direction.

Why Umahi Has Every Reason to Seek Compensation Over Alleged Defamatory Publications

Published

on

Maduka University

By Emma Igwe
The decision by the Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi, to institute a defamation action against Linda Ikeji, Linda Ikeji TV Limited and Stella Ifeoma Okengwu should not be dismissed as an attempt to silence criticism.
At the heart of the case is a much more fundamental question: how far can individuals and media platforms go in publishing serious allegations against a person’s character and reputation without being held accountable if those allegations are found to be false?
Umahi has approached the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, with suit No. GWD/CV/264/26, filed on August 24, 2026. He alleges that publications and videos circulated between March 2025 and March 2026 contained allegations of bribery, corruption, intimidation, sexual misconduct, land grabbing, sexual harassment and claims that he was unfit for public office. He maintains that the allegations were false, malicious and calculated to damage his reputation.
These are not minor accusations.
A public official can be criticised over policies, projects, political decisions and performance. That is an essential part of democracy. But allegations of corruption, bribery and sexual misconduct are qualitatively different. If such allegations are published without adequate factual foundation and are ultimately found to be false and defamatory, the damage to the subject’s reputation can be enormous.
THE SCALE OF PUBLICATION MATTERS
Another important consideration is the alleged reach of the publications.
According to the reports on the suit, Umahi alleges that material posted by Stella Okengwu was subsequently amplified through Linda Ikeji’s media platforms, including Linda Ikeji TV and its Instagram platform.
That distinction matters.
An allegation whispered privately to a few people is one thing. An allegation disseminated through platforms with substantial online audiences is another.
If the court ultimately finds that defamatory statements were repeatedly disseminated to a large audience, the extent of publication would naturally become relevant when assessing the injury allegedly suffered by the claimant.
UMAHI SAYS HE DID NOT RUSH TO COURT
The minister also says that his lawyers first demanded that the alleged publications be removed, that an unreserved apology be issued and that the defendants undertake not to repeat similar allegations.
He alleges that those demands were not complied with.
If that account is established before the court, it strengthens the argument that litigation was not necessarily his first response, but followed an alleged failure to resolve the dispute through a demand for correction and retraction.
WHY THE CLAIM FOR DAMAGES IS SIGNIFICANT
Umahi is seeking ₦500 million in general damages and ₦2 billion in exemplary damages, making ₦2.5 billion in damages. He is separately seeking ₦500 million as costs of the action and 10 percent post-judgment interest.
The amount claimed should not, however, be confused with an amount already awarded by a court.
It is a claim that must be proved.
And that is precisely why the court process is important.
If Umahi can establish that the publications were false and defamatory, that they caused serious injury to his reputation and that the defendants were legally responsible for their publication or republication, then compensation would serve more than a personal purpose.
It would reinforce the principle that freedom of expression does not automatically translate into freedom from responsibility for demonstrably false and defamatory statements.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PROTECTING POLITICIANS FROM CRITICISM
There is a dangerous tendency in Nigeria to treat every defamation action involving a politician as an attempt to suppress free speech.
That approach is too simplistic.
Democracy requires vigorous criticism of public officials. Journalists, bloggers and citizens must remain free to investigate government and expose genuine wrongdoing.
But democracy also requires accountability for what is published.
If a journalist has evidence of corruption, the appropriate response is to present the evidence and defend the publication in court. If a person makes an allegation and can prove its substantial truth, that too is a legitimate defence.
But if a court eventually determines that serious allegations were knowingly or recklessly published without justification and caused reputational damage, the law must provide a remedy.
THE COURT SHOULD DECIDE — NOT SOCIAL MEDIA
This is perhaps the most important aspect of the Umahi case.
At present, the allegations made by Umahi in his Statement of Claim remain allegations before the court. The defendants had not, according to reports available as of August 25, been served with the writ, and no hearing date had been fixed. They will have the opportunity to present their defence.
Therefore, neither Umahi nor his opponents should declare victory prematurely.
The proper question is not whether Umahi is powerful enough to sue.
The proper question is whether the publications complained of were true, substantially true, fair comment, privileged, or defamatory and unjustified.
That is what evidence and the judicial process should determine.
THE REAL TEST
Umahi deserves compensation if he proves his case.
If the court establishes that he was falsely accused of serious criminal, corrupt or sexually improper conduct; that the allegations were defamatory; that the defendants were legally responsible for the publications; and that he suffered compensable injury, then a substantial award would not be an attack on journalism.
It would be an application of the law.
Conversely, if the defendants can substantiate their allegations or establish a recognised legal defence, the court should equally protect their right to publish matters of legitimate public interest.
That is the essence of the rule of law.
The court — not social media, not political supporters, and not bloggers — should have the final word.

Soon, the INEC regulations will lift the lid on campaigns to start. In Ebonyi state, there will be a lot of political noise. The political timberlines will be sounding cacophonously. The noise will be unbearable.

However, only one campaign, the Governorship candidate of People’s Democratic Party, PDP, *DR. ANYICHUKS ODII* will be the only mandate the good people of Ebonyi need to be hearing and standing on. His mandate merits all the noise because he has served the people and has been a source of succour for thousands of families in many aspects.

The vision of Anyichuks Odii on health care, education, social safety, security and agriculture/industrialization as well as youth empowerments are all top notch. They are all well spelt out, which will be released as his manifesto will be released soon.

Already, we have seen a glimpse of it in our previous revelations and analysis. As it stands today, only on the mandate of Anyichuks Odii as the governorship candidate of PDP are people expected to stand on.

The mandate has character, capacity, compassion and great vision.
