Chief Uche Nnaji, popularly known as Nwakibie, has vowed to rescue the people of Enugu State from what he described as “brutish and inhumane governance.”

Addressing a mammoth crowd of supporters on his return to Enugu on Friday morning, Nnaji lamented the alleged mismanagement of resources flowing into the state from the federal government, insisting that the people of Enugu deserve better.

“It’s unfortunate that a government will demolish institutions and businesses just to build a motor park. Lives were lost because properties were forcefully confiscated without due process and without compensation. With the amount of money coming into this state, Enugu has no business living in excruciating pain,” he said.

Highlighting his recent engagements in Brazil and Japan, Nnaji said both countries had shown examples of how biotechnology and the bioeconomy could be harnessed to lift citizens out of poverty. He pledged to replicate such models in Enugu, pointing to the state’s natural endowments as a springboard for development.

“Enugu State is blessed with coal which is being stolen today. We intend to change that through massive industrialization to better the lives of our people. Enugu is blessed, and we will capitalize on that,” he declared.

Speaking at the event, the state party chairman, Barr. Ugo Agballa, reaffirmed the party’s unwavering support for Nnaji, describing him as a tested and trusted leader with an unblemished record.

“Chief Uche Nnaji is a man who has stayed long in the political limelight without any dent or trace of corruption. He deserves all the accolades and support required to transform Enugu,” Agballa said.

The event was attended by party stakeholders, community leaders, and enthusiastic supporters who expressed optimism about Nnaji’s vision for the state.

The Rivers State Police Command has declared that the tragic death of a 26-year-old lady, Peace Moses, an indigene of Akwa Ibom State, was not reported in any of its divisions or units across the state.

Peace was knocked down last Monday evening by a convoy of about 15 fast-moving vehicles around Omega Junction along Ada-George Road in Port Harcourt.

She was returning from an evening service at her church, Love Channel Christian Centre, also located along Ada-George Road, when the tragic incident occurred.

Last Thursday, a candlelight procession was organised in her honour by her friends and neighbours.

Speaking with our correspondent in Port Harcourt yesterday, Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Grace Iringe-Koko, a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), wondered why neighbours could not report the incident to the Police.

Iringe-Koko stated that even the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in charge of the Rumuepirikom Police Division was unaware of the tragic incident.

“Probably they didn’t report any such incident to the Police Station because the DPO in charge of that area is asking me where and when the incident occurred.

See, if they don’t report cases to the Police, how would the Police know? We are not magicians. I just spoke with the DPO, and she said she is not aware of anything like that.

“Somebody needs to report or anyhow, information needs to get through so that we too will get it,” she said.

But reacting to the claim by the Police, a human rights lawyer, Courage Nsirimovu, said that, with or without a report on the tragic incident, the Police are duty-bound to investigate the matter.

Nsirimovu said: “The duty of the Nigerian police is to secure lives and properties, and where a life has been lost in such grievous circumstances, the police have a duty to investigate the matter on the basis of their mandate and the public need to prevent such a menace to human life.

“The Police have a duty to investigate the matter, with or without a petition.”
