Ugochinyere in hot soup, faces recall as Constituents insist he’s pursuing only personal matters
…hail gov Uzodinma
Hon Ugochinyere Ikenga has swallowed more than he can chew as his constituents move to recall the Abia federal lawmaker.
This move was revealed at a grand ceremony in Umuchima autonomous community of Ideato South, where community and political stakeholders from Ideato Federal Constituency gathered to honor Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State.
The event was organized to express appreciation for the governor’s intervention in tackling a severe erosion problem that had threatened to isolate the constituency from the rest of the state.
The Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers, led by their chairman, Eze Ewuzie, welcomed the delegation and conveyed their gratitude on behalf of the community.
Constituents and leaders commended Governor Uzodimma for his swift action in awarding the erosion control project to Craneburg, a reputable construction company, and ensuring that work commenced promptly. They highlighted that despite the constituency having produced a governor, a senator, and various federal lawmakers in the past, it was under Uzodimma’s administration that substantial action was taken to address the long-standing erosion crisis.
In their remarks, stakeholders emphasized the governor’s dedication to the well-being of the people, noting that he has no personal political ambitions as he is not seeking any office at the moment. They viewed his intervention as a demonstration of his commitment to good governance and impartial leadership.
However, the event also served as a forum for the people to voice their dissatisfaction with Hon. Ugochinyere Micheal Ikeagwonu, the current representative of the constituency in the National Assembly. Community leaders accused him of neglecting the constituency’s needs, focusing instead on his personal political agenda and launching unwarranted attacks against the governor.
During the ceremony, a formal motion was introduced for the recall of Hon. Ikeagwonu. Hon. Okechukwu Udenze, the representative for Ideato North in the Imo State House of Assembly, led the motion, which received strong support from the community members and political figures present.
Dignitaries at the event included Hon. Ijeoma Arodiogbu, Southeast chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Hon. Ikechukwu Umeh, Imo APC Organizing Secretary; Hon. Nkechi Ugwu, Commissioner for Women Affairs; and the executive chairmen of Ideato North and South, Hon. Chinonso Okparaeke and Hon. Okechukwu Okwara, along with vice chairmen and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) chairmen of both areas.
The ceremony concluded with a call for greater unity among the people of Ideato Federal Constituency. Leaders urged the community to remain focused on the shared goal of progress and development, working together to rebuild and advance the region.

Unfolding story: Unusual security beef up at NASS over alleged plot to impeach Akpabio
Workers and visitors to the National Assembly were taken back this morning with the high level.of security at the first gate as well as the second one.
DSS men, cladded in dark suits and sunglasses virtually outnumbered all other security agencies who were also noticed to have increased their men.
Insider sources claimed the increased presence of the State Security men as well as others was because of an underground move being made to impeach Senate President, Godswill Akpabio today.
The move, which was more or less like a coup given its surreptitious outlook was said to have been hatched by some Northern senators who are angry with Tinubu’s government and believe that the country can be better run if he had a senate that is more vocal and critical of his policies.
Akpabio has become one of the most unpopular throw-ups of Nigerian democracy with his goofs and gaffs landing blows not only on the National Assembly which he heads but also on the ruling class as a whole.
Only a few days ago he said if you see food anywhere, eat because there was hunger in the land.
