GOVERNMENT BY REPRESSION: MBAH ADMINISTRATION SUSPENDS NSUKKA MONARCH HRH IGWE WILLY EZUGWU JUST DAYS AFTER OPPOSITION LEADERS VISIT HIS PALACE

HUMAN CATASTROPHE IN GREATER AWGU: FLOODS SUBMERGE MPU AND OKPANKU WHILE NENWENTA RESEVOIR COLLAPSE WIPES OUT ENTIRE FAMILY AS REPRESENTATIVE LAWMAKER REMAINS SILENT

A agonizing double tragedy has engulfed the Greater Awgu bloc of Enugu State as widespread flooding and catastrophic infrastructure failure triggered widespread grief across Aninri and Awgu Local Government Areas. In Mpu and Okpanku, swelling floodwaters driven by the long-neglected Ivo River Dam submerged 14 villages, claimed the lives of two young brothers, and displaced thousands. Simultaneously, in nearby Nenwenta, Awgu LGA, a neglected water reservoir collapsed under torrential rainfall, crushing an entire family and leaving only a four-year-old child alive, who miraculously survived after being swept away in the deluge for 24 hours. Despite the scale of destruction, grief-stricken residents have expressed anger over the complete absence and silence of their federal representative, Hon. Anayo Onwuegbu.

The media surrogates of Governor Peter Mbah have reached an all-time low in their desperate attempt to tarnish the rising political profile of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji (Nwakaibie).

THE REAL NDC HAS COLLAPSED INTO PDP: HOW MBAH'S PROXIES STAGED A FAKE FRONT TO COVER MASS GRASSROOTS EXIT

A desperate attempt by state-backed agents to preserve a hollow party shell in Enugu State has backfired.
