The apex Igbo socio-political organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has listed punishments that would be meted out to the Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, over his recent attack on the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Ohanaeze Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro said Ndigbo would ensure that Soludo never gets a second term as Governor.

Speaking with DAILY POST, Isiguzoro said the body would back any move by the Anambra State House of Assembly to remove Soludo from office in the nearest future.

Isiguzoro warned that the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, would face great challenges because the people of the state would rise up against him.

According to the Ohanaeze scribe, the Southeast would see Soludo as the enemy who worked against their 2023 presidential chances.

He said: “For Soludo to have come out to insult the candidate of Nigeria, he might not return to the office because Ndigbo would punish him by making him a one-term governor. Soludo may face a great political challenge in Anambra State because the masses will rise against him.

“The people of the Southeast will now see him as an enemy and the chief political undertaker of the chances of the Southeast to emerge in 2023.

“There must be political repercussions and one of which is that the Ndigbo would task the Anambra State House of Assembly to do the needful.

“Ndigbo will look away to remove all those bad eggs who have mortgage our political interest, those who have portrayed us in bad light that we are not united.

“For him to have shown and demonstrated that he was been enrolled to come and thwart being the Governor of two presidential candidates, APGA and Labour Party in 2023, and is the best person to be hired as an undertaker to bury Peter Obi’s presidency, this has begun the end of his political sojourn as the Governor of Anambra State.

“In the nearest future, the Igbos will encourage anything that would make the Anambra House of Assembly remove Soludo out of the way.

“Ndigbo will rise up in any gathering to challenge the views of Soludo to the great Igbo nation. Soludo’s activities in the last few days have been an affront and slap on the Igbo nation, and Ndigbo would return such with a very big sanction, and the political sojourn of Soludo as the Governor of Anambra State is over.”

The former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Governor had said Obi would never win the 2023 presidential election.

Soludo anchored his claim on the series of attacks on him for downplaying the investment claims by Obi during his tenure as governor.

Senator Adams Oshiomhole on Monday criticised former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, accusing him of poor judgment and misplaced priorities during his tenure in office.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Oshiomhole said: “Rotimi Amaechi is the most terrible. Look at the choice of language. A guy who shut down Rivers judiciary because he wanted to appoint his own personal favourite as chief judge of Rivers State. Once he couldn’t have his way, the Rivers State judiciary was shut down for almost two years.

“Look at the crisis in the railway system that he superintendent over for eight unbroken years. He was unable to get the priorities right, playing to the gallery.

“Now he rather constructed a rail, not to Kano, not to Port Harcourt, where he came from, but to Niger Republic.

“Which goods are we sending to Niger Republic? He was a minister. And if you were a minister under Buhari, you will be fair to him, life or death, that Buhari gave anyone he appointed free hand to do the job he assigned to you. That is what Buhari was.”

The Southwest Governors Forum is set to create a South West Regional Security Fund to strengthen responses to insecurity in the region.

This initiative aims to address the rise in kidnapping, banditry, illegal mining, and unregulated interstate migration.

The decision was reached during a meeting of the six governors on Monday at the Governor’s Office, Secretariat, Ibadan, Oyo State.

In the communiqué issued at the end, it was agreed that all six states would support coordinated operations, joint intelligence sharing, and rapid-response initiatives across Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti states.

The governors also emphasised that the establishment of state police “can no longer be delayed.”

They applauded President Bola Tinubu for security interventions in states affected by kidnappings, while urging sustained attention on regional development.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has officially registered as a member of the African Democratic Congress in Adamawa State, signalling a major development in Nigeria’s opposition politics ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The registration took place on Monday, following Atiku’s announcement to ADC supporters and stakeholders in Adamawa over the weekend.

Abdul Rasheeth, an aide to the former vice president, had confirmed the development in a statement obtained by The PUNCH.

Videos and photos from the event showed Atiku’s convoy arriving in the town to the cheers of supporters, who beat drums, sang, and carried placards with his image.

Atiku waved and greeted well-wishers from his vehicle as he received his ADC membership card.

In a brief X (Formerly Twitter) post on his handle shorty after his registration, Atiku wrote,” It’s official. -AA”

This move formalises Atiku’s association with the coalition party, which he had previously endorsed in July as a platform for opposition figures, including Peter Obi and Babachir Lawal, to challenge President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Until now, Atiku and other opposition leaders had delayed their formal registration with the ADC.

The former vice president’s registration is expected to strengthen the party’s profile and consolidate the opposition ahead of the next general election.
