Aninri calls out Prince Nwanjoku over unfixed roads

A whole new change is brewing in Aninri council area. Days after Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku was “anointed” for a second term by Governor Peter Mbah, opposition is mounting.

Ndeabor road is captured in a new viral video, which graphically highlights the sufferings of the natives within the council. A commercial bus is trapped in the mud, and youths, possibly passers-by, were seen helping the passengers to offload their goods.

It’s not clear the date the clip was made. It could possibly be last week when there was a heavy downpour in Aninri and across Enugu State.

A man is heard speaking on the video, calling on Governor Peter Mbah to help Ndeabor residents. It also said that Aninri council chairman Prince Nwanjoku was contacted to help fix the road but had refused to help.

Apart from the traders and the motorists who ply the road, schoolchildren also face hell on daily basis as the road leads to Green Smart School and other schools.

Aninri headquarters sits at Ndeabor. But even as the seat of power, the community has suffered more neglect than any other areas in the council. Apart from the absence of functional public amenities, Ndeabor is yet to have it’s son or daughter elected the council’s chairman since 1998.

The Ndeabor road, Ugwu-tank link road and more than 163 other roads were marked for grading by Nwanjoku’s administration last year.

InfoWars has reached out to Mr Israel Ani, supervisory councillor for Works, for comment. His office ought to have answers to number of questions Aninri is asking at the moment.

Name of the contractors, deeds of contracts, the cost of the roads as well as deadlines fixed for the completion are still shrouded in secrecy and kept away from the public.

Constituents are increasingly demanding for accountability and transparency. While there is yet no evidence of wrongdoings on the part of Prince Nwanjoku, there is a disturbing laxity among his aides and within the larger Aninri workforce.

The President General, Comr Udengene, in a renewed efforts to silence dissents, is forcing Chukwu Odinaka, Abel Chukwu and Alphonsus Onwubiko, to return home next week. The trio reside at different parts of Anambra and Enugu States.

“They’ve already served the letter to my mother this morning, and she has called to inform me,” Mr Onwubiko, a Master’s degree holder from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka said.

Udengene-led administration has come under fire since last week following multiple calls for accountability. Arrogant ruler, the PG has, instead, chosen to fight his people to roll back their demands.

The so-called summon of the youths is the latest in the PG’s fight for quench the escalating crisis in Amagu community. According to sources privy to the situation, the youths are expected to be tried by a “highly biased” committee.

Meanwhile, the end to Udengene’s mounting troubles is not in view. Another lines of war are opening against him within Aninri political spaces. Yesterday, he took to various WhatsApp groups in the council to heap unusual “praises” and “supports” to the Chairman Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku.

But Aninri already knows his craftiness and so many voices descended on him, lifting past posts where he had repeatedly attacked Nwanjoku’s administration. A card-carrying member of ADC, Udengene also holds PDP and APC membership cards today.

Huge in the body, but coward in the spirit, the Amagu leader was once described by a native as “big for nothing”. It remains to be seen how his public image would look like after his own people drag him to court next week for possible grafts and for forging the community Constitution and swearing under oath with it before the High Court.

Prince Nwanjoku sets another record in Aninri council area

The chairman of Aninri local government area Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku has set another record in the council area.

For so long, the three major political blocs of the zone were in dark and suffering pains of inaccessible roads. One administration after another, since 1999, came and passed, and have left their own imprints.

Yet, none of the past chairmen have used asphalt to do roads. Today, Prince Nwanjoku has achieved that.

The 4.5-kilometre Obuagu Ohofia road connects Aninri and Nkanu West local government area from Nkerefi town.

However, few constituents thinks that its “biased” the asphalted road is at the chairman’s countryhome.

“This is foolishness on the part of those people, few of them,” Mr Chibueze Onu, a major stakeholders in Aninri said. According to him, focus shouldn’t be at the place where the road is done, but on how big Prince Ugochukwu Nwanjoku thinks.

Now, no matter how anyone may look at it, Prince Nwanjoku has set a new record. He is the first Aninri council chairman to ever do a road using asphalt, and among the 4 out of current 17 council chairmen in Enugu State who ever used asphalt on roads.

Aninri, a remote zone, is one of the smallest council area in the state and with the smallest federal allocation.

Asphalt, a waterproof and adhesive material made principally from bitumen, is largely avoided by council politicians for its high costs. At approximately ₦136,500 per ton or ₦5,500 per square metre, the cost of completing Obuagu Ohofia road will run into tens of millions.

Why we “attack” Udengene: a very long story (editorial)

Since Sunday, we’ve been able to efficiently dramatize what the taste of revenge looks like. It was a successful campaign against the very grandmaster of mischief. And, frankly, I enjoyed every bit of this sweetened period.

The story started six years ago, in 2020. It was at the height of Comr Udengene’s influence in Oduma ward 2 politics. He was a legislative aid to former Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and was able to overshadow Hon Chidi Ekwe, Hon Able Chukwu, late Joe Merit and others.

I got form to run for councillorship under the All Progressives Congress (APC). Enugu was a PDP-state then. Despite our people’s deep hatred for APC, I was generally accepted and a lot of people polled resources together to support me. Influential people made calls on my behalf and volunteered in several ways for my success. In fact, I was the preferred candidate for Amagu and Amokwe communities. The remaining two villages that make up ward 2 were divided, anyway. Ameke had bought into me, but then communal clash ensued between them and my Amagu brothers over a contentious piece of land. My opponent, the serving councillor Hon Marble Onwukwe, was from Obeagu. But opinions showed that I could win at least 49 percent of Obeagu votes.

I was expecting rigging in the elections. Its the trademark of PDP politics in Aninri. But I wasn’t expecting Comr Udengene, my own brother, to play the cruel roles he played and nearly set me up for death.

By February 22, the election day, I’ve got death threats more than once. Udengene and one of my own uncle whom I regarded as a father had been selling lies to the villages in Oduma ward 2 that I was the chief cause of the communal crisis between Amagu and Ameke communities on January 27, 2020.

In that war, people were killed and properties worth millions of naira destroyed or stolen. Then, the Local Government came, demolished the land and sealed it. So, by the time we were going to the polls, Orie market was the hottest issue in Oduma ward 2.

Udengene turned it against me. On the elections day, he took the electoral materials away from the known PDP rigging venues, went to Sen Ike Ekweremadu’s residence at Mpu and rigged me out. I want to believe he was not the only one; there were others. But he was the only one of them who was my brother and friend. Then he returned to our village and derided me. He said that if I had consulted him before running for the position that he wouldn’t have being so cruel. In other words, he worked against me simply to prove that he was bigger.

But he didn’t know that I had the power of pen, and animal guts. So, with them, I fought him, former Speaker, former PG and my uncle. It was a spectacular success, and Prince Okugo Nwanjoku was at its helm too. As it got hot, Hon Abel Chukwu promised me a compensation of ₦3 million, but Udengene made sure I didn’t get it.

He leveraged on his influence with Ekweremadu and incited Amagu women against me. But again, I survived. Or better still, I thrived.

All his antics to bring me down fell off against my own determined aggression. So I can safely say that Udengene made me popular in 2020 when I was not very much known. He also solidified my place as an undisputed political rising star from Amagu. His wickedness actually announced me.

Udengene is not a good leader; he is a bad one. I would’ve kept quiet and not expose his ills. But I needed to remind him that there’s no gain in breaking a bridge you might someday have to cross. We’re brothers, and if he starts seeing me as one then I, too, will consider him as one.

Call it boasting if you wish, but Jude Ogbonna is more powerful that you know – and its because I have my pen! As I write this, lying besides me is a dangerously worded petition I had intended to submit this afternoon to the Ministry of Chieftaincy Matters and Rural Development against Udengene and some of his “boys” and “ogas”. It is a spectacular petition, design solely to put whosoever it’s against to flight irrespective of his status.

But a major call came from a man I can never dispute his words. I’m dropping my pen. What I want to tell the government are true, and they happened. Another person, not me, can tell the stories.

All the reports we made since Sunday are true, but it would have been unnecessary to say them in the public if Udengene didn’t deliberately hurt me severally in the past.

They said he has ambition for 2027. If that’s true, I’m most likely to support him. And I’ll support him without hypocrisy, if I ever choose to. FOR NOW there’ll be calm! And if you’re reading this, Udengene, I wish you luck dear brother.
