As our esteemed representative, Hon. Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi marks his second anniversary in office, we reflect on his remarkable achievements that have positively impacted our constituency and the nation at large.
Proofs speak louder than promises. If you work consistently and there are evidences to show, they speak for themselves. When Hon Professor Paul Sunday Nnamchi was presenting himself for election into the House of Representatives in 2023 his slogan was, “Let’s Do It Better”. That was his promise and two years down the line, the results are speaking eloquently for themselves.

In the past our constituency had been plagued by unfulfilled promises so when Professor Nnamchi assured us that he would do it better, majority of our constituents never believed him. They saw it as one of the usual unkept promises they were used to but today he has proven the Thomases wrong with his performance so far.

In just two years he has done so much especially in core legislative duty which is law making with the sponsorship of 52 Bills and 20 motions, demonstrating his commitment to shaping policies that benefit our communities and the nation in general. In youth empowerment, Professor Nnamchi has awarded tertiary scholarships to over 200 constituents, thus opening doors to new opportunities for our future leaders. He has also built several blocks of classrooms, supplied furniture to schools, and distributed uniforms to primary school pupils.He is equally striving to bridge the digital gap among the young constituents with an instituted annual information technology (ICT) trainings for secondary students which he started way back in his days in the University of Nigeria Nsukka to cater for the students in Enugu East, his Area Council but expanded it to accommodate Isi Uzo indigenes upon his election into the National Assembly. Today, the project has been boosted with his establishment of an ICT Centre in Enugu East Area Council.

Concerned about health challenges faced by the indigent constituents who could hardly afford sound medical care, Rep Nnamchi conducted six, (6) medical outreaches in 2024 providing adequate healthcare services,treated eye patients, distributed, essential drugs, and glasses to them. He has ensured that several communities in the constituency were illuminated with solar street lights to enhance safety and security.

Besides all these achievements, Professor Nnamchi in recognition of the current hardships facing his constituents as a result of the galloping influation which has put staple food items beyond the reach of the ordinary citizens across the country has mainted the culture of distributing food items and other essentials to both Muslims and Christians constituents during festivities and this he has consistently done in the last two years to further demonstrate inclusivity and community building.

Ideally, law making is the primary duty of the legislature in democracy. However, a lawmaker May from time to time through influence, contacts and Loby attract social amenities and other benefits like employments to his constituents. It is also important to emphasize that it was on account of law making that the National Assembly Journal, “The Order Paper which Carries yearly evaluation of legislators’ effectiveness adjudged Professor Nnamch the best performing legislator from the southeast region and in view of that l will conclude this piece with an attachment of the list of the Bills our super Rep has sponsored in the past two years.

Some are at first and second readings at the plenary, some have gone through public hearings and clause to clause considerations while some are before the conference committees of both Senate and House for final passage. The good news also is that a few of them have been transmitted for Presidential assent.

Indeed Rep Nnamchi’s dedication to quality representation has brought tangible recognition to our constituency. He has equally set a benchmark for those who will aspire to represent us after him. As we celebrate his achievements in the past two years, we look forward to continued progress and development in Enugu East/Isi Uzo Federal Constituency through his effective drive and influence in the House of Representatives. The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 Presidential Election, Peter Obi usually would say go and verify but l will prefer to ask, “if you are in doubt check it out.”

Lokoja Court order on NDC: Seriake Dickson vows party will challenge order

Leader of the National Democratic Party, NDC Senator Henry Seriake Dickson has vowed that NDC will challenge court directive.

Dickson in a statement he e-signed stated that the order lacked legal merit and their team of legal experts have been kept on standby to rubbish the move.

He said : “This morning, I, like several other leaders, officials, candidates of the NDC, and members of the public, was jolted by the order issued by the Federal High Court sitting in Lokoja and presided over by Honourable Justice Isah Dashen.

“All I can say is that the order lacks legal merit and is intended to affect the foundational credibility and efforts of our party. The order is illegal and will not stand. It is against multi-party democracy, anti-democratic in nature, and aimed at narrowing and stifling the democratic space.

” It will be resisted by all of us and by all lovers of democracy in Nigeria.

“We have assembled our team of lawyers, and they are taking appropriate steps to set the order aside and restore normalcy. I call on all members, supporters, and candidates of the NDC to remain calm and continue with their normal political activities.

“This is only the first test of our commitment and resilience, both of which are not in doubt. Even this shall pass, and the NDC and all our candidates shall cruise to victory.

“We are not naive to expect that the tremendous progress we have achieved in the last five months would go without attack, but this particular development came from a very unlikely source.

“The application by an unregistered association, which is not a registered political party and has no exclusive right to any logo under the law, is shocking.

“Moreover, it was not a necessary party to the suit because it had no interest in the subject matter. It did not apply for registration in 2025, it was not one of the 171 associations that applied, nor was it among the 21 associations shortlisted for registration.

“So, we know where this is coming from. It is coming from those who are shocked by the progress the NDC has made within such a short period as a result of our hard work and commitment to deepening multi-party democracy.

“We will not allow this to slow us down or break our spirit. The struggle must continue.

“We will use appropriate judicial channels to correct the judicial anomaly that occurred under the watch of Honourable Justice Dashen. He has clearly erred in law, and we will take steps to correct it.

“All our candidates, supporters, and teeming voters across the country and beyond should hold on firmly and keep the faith. This development shows that our efforts have not gone unnoticed.

“I would also like to refer to my favourite quote on struggles “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win.”

“We are under attack, as I have repeatedly said we should prepare for challenges such as this. But thereafter, we shall win.

“Even with today’s development, thousands of Nigerians are joining us in solidarity. In fact, thousands of Nigerians across the country registered as NDC members today to show their solidarity, sympathy and support for our party. All things work together for good.

” Men may act with evil intentions, but if it is not the will of God, He turns it around for our good.

“I sincerely thank Nigerians for the confidence they continue to repose in the NDC. Your support, encouragement, and belief in our vision only strengthen our resolve to continue the struggle to deepen multi-party democracy in Nigeria.

OpenAI restricts limited release of new model to US only

Published

OpenAI on Friday launched a US-only preview of its latest powerful AI model series to a limited group of partners at the request of the US government, the company said.

The release comes two weeks after the White House took Silicon Valley by surprise by ordering OpenAI’s rival Anthropic to ban all foreign nationals from accessing its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models, citing national security concerns.

Anthropic swiftly shut down all access to those models, saying it could not reliably comply with the restriction on foreign nationals.

The latest models from leading AI companies, such as Anthropic’s Mythos series and now OpenAI’s GPT-5.6, have drawn major concerns over their reportedly unprecedented ability to identify software vulnerabilities — weaknesses in code that hackers can exploit.

Under pressure over the novelty of their capabilities, Trump earlier this month signed an executive order setting up a voluntary federal review of national security risks in advanced AI models before their release.

The White House has communicated little about how it will enforce its executive order — in which companies are understood to be participating voluntarily — and what models would fall under its review rules.

The intervention was striking for a White House that has otherwise pushed to loosen AI oversight — even moving to block states from writing their own rules.

The strong action against Anthropic has drawn accusations of government overreach, and OpenAI said it was uncomfortable with the process it was required to follow for its new models.

OpenAI said it briefed the US government on its new models’ capabilities ahead of the launch and, at the government’s request, is beginning with a limited preview for a select group of trusted partners whose identities have been shared with authorities.

The partners are US-based, but OpenAI said overseas employees at those companies or entities would also have access to the new models.

“We don’t believe this kind of government access process should become the long-term default,” OpenAI said in a blog post.

“It keeps the best tools from users, developers, enterprises, cyber defenders, and global partners who need them. We are taking this short-term step because we believe it is the strongest path to broader availability in the coming weeks.”

When Anthropic was initially targeted, some believed the safety-focused company was being unfairly singled out by the Trump administration for political reasons.

In an earlier clash with the White House, Anthropic angered Trump’s team by refusing to allow its technology to be used for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons, leading the Pentagon to cancel its contracts with the company.

That feud is now being litigated in two separate lawsuits.

– Three new models –

OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 series comprises three new models: Sol, the company’s new flagship; Terra, a mid-range model for everyday work; and Luna, a fast, low-cost option.

Once broadly available, Terra would be priced at half the cost of its predecessor GPT-5.5, the company said, as it seeks to lock in customers amid fierce competition from Anthropic and Google.

Both OpenAI and Anthropic have filed confidential IPO documents with US regulators and are targeting public listings at valuations approaching $1 trillion, raising the commercial stakes of the AI arms race between them.
