The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State on Saturday held primary election to elect a governorship candidate that will represent it on November 6, for the governorship election of the state. The exercise however turned a rancorous one with some aspirants already crying blue murder.

He defeated 13 other aspirants to emerge the party’s governorship candidate. He contested the election with 13 other aspirants including; Dr. Chidozie Nwankwo, George Moghalu, Paul Orajiaka, Geoff Onyejeagbu, Azuka Okwuosa, Nwokafor Daniel, Ikoobasi Mokelu, Igwebuike Ifeanyi, Godwin Okonkwo, Ben Etiaba, Onuwkwo John Bosco, Edozie Madu, and Maxwell Okoye.

Ogun State government is to continue with the plan to construct an agro-cargo airport in the state.
This was disclosed by the State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, when he received the Senate Committee on Aviation, led by Senator Smart Adeyemi, at the Exco Chamber of the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan , Abeokuta.
The governor said that the agro-cargo airport project, conceptualized by the Gbenga Daniel administration in 2007, has lots of potentials in the overall development of the state in particular and the country in general.
It would be recalled that the immediate past administration of Senator Ibikunle Amosun jettisoned the idea of a cargo airport and opted for a passenger airport in 2018, with its proposed location in Wasimi in Ewekoro local government area of the state.

SINCE the return to civil rule in 1999, Nigerians have had to contend with the ugly spectre of ill-prepared, ideologically vacuous, morally bankrupt and intellectually challenged leaders across the political spectrum.
For many years, the office of governor, in particular, has featured tenants that never should have come anywhere close to authority.
We have seen governors engaging in monumental rape of the resources of the state they were meant to steer to prosperity, using vile and uncouth language that even motor park touts would shudder at, turning a state into a battlefield between the three arms of government, giving workers a raw deal while gorging on state resources, spending ecological funds on political campaigns, among other atrocities.
