2023: Attempt to Hijack House of Assembly ticket from Mbieri will spark Crisis, Ononuju warns

 

                       Barrister Ononuju


One of the prominent leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC,  Imo state, Owerri Zone and Mbaitoli Local Government Area, Barr Kingsley Ononuju (Ekwedashike) has cautioned that any attempt or plot to deny Mbieri bloc (Mbaitoli East) the chance of producing the Imo House of Assembly member in 2023, would spark grassroots discontent which he said, could spell doom for the party in Mbaitoli local government and  affect the micro-zonig arrangement in the area.


Barr Ononuju spoke out recently against the backdrop of moves by desperate  politicians who  are name droppers that Onwa, the Governor asked them to run. That’s clear deceit , Governor will do no such thing because that will thwart the micro-zoning arrangement in Mbaitoli ahead 2023 elections.  Mbaitoli state  Assembly ticket with Mbieri bloc will spell doom for the party.


"I am a follow-come member of the Governors team, a core loyalist and an ally of the Governor for over 30 years and I can  bet that the Governor will not ask anybody who has not prepared himself to go run for office, never"


"Onwa is the Leader and the father of APC in Imo he will not allow curiosity seekers to jeopardize or rubbish all our efforts to make our party solid and viable in mbaitoli.

The   commissioner who was the Director of electoral matters for Governor Hope Uzodimma campaign organization in 2019

maintained that Mbieri bloc or Mbaitoli East holds a strong stake in our voting strength on any Mbaitoli project, adding that it would be a miscalculated political arithmetic and suicide for such an area to be ignored or neglected in zoning of elective positions in Mbaitoli LGA that has the highest number of voters in the state.


Continuing, the former commissioner for Commerce and industry hinted that it was wrong and a miscalculation  for any anybody from Mbaitoli North or south that are currently occupying the House of Representatives position and the chairmanship of Mbaitoli APC and IMC chairman of the LGA aside other juicy appointments to start aspiring for House of Assembly seat already micro-zoned to Mbieri bloc noting that such would not augur well for the party that is desirous of winning the big Swing Local Government of Mbaitoli.


Close watchers of the goings-on in the area agree with him that given the voting strength of Mbaitoli in Imo State and the fact that the opposition PDP has substantial foothold in the LGA,  it becomes imperative that APC must be very cautious in the manner elective offices are shared or micro-zoned  ahead of the coming general elections.

United States grand jury indicts Nigerian Catholic priest on three felony sexual assault charges

  Anthony Odiong is accused of sexual assault by at least eight women whom the priest had been counseling Ramon Antonio Vargas The criminal case that authorities are building against a Roman Catholic priest accused of preying on women whom he met while working in south-east Louisiana and Texas is progressing, with a grand jury in the latter state indicting him on three felony sexual assault charges. Anthony Odiong, 55, faces two counts of second-degree sexual assault as well as one of first-degree sexual assault in the charges handed up against him recently in the McLennan county, Texas, state court. The charges against Odiong – who was first arrested in July – involve two women. He could receive up to life imprisonment if convicted of the first-degree charge, a stiffer penalty that stems from the fact that the alleged victim in the case was a woman whom Odiong was prohibited from “marrying or purporting to marry” under Texas law. The second-degree counts each carry up to 20 years in p
