OWERRI MUNICIPAL WARD MONITORS PAY COURTESY VISIT TO SOLE ADMINISTRATOR HON. CHIDIEBERE EMERIBE
…As They Commend and Solidify Support for Hon. Emeribe’s Dynamic Leadership and Achievements
Date: 14-06-2024
The biblical quote of giving deserved honour to whom it is due was displayed today, as the 11 ward governorship election monitors showcased solidarity, commendation, and applause for the Sole Administrator. During the past gubernatorial election, he served as the LGA monitor, remaining dedicated and steadfast in ensuring victory at the polls within the municipality.
The group, comprising men and women of integrity handpicked across the 11 wards that make up the municipality’s political caucus, was led by their coordinator. In their visit, they felicitated with the Sole Administrator on his efficiency in discharging his duties, ensuring that Owerri Municipal delivered a landslide win.
The group also applauded and appraised the governor’s excellent and exceptional choice in making the Sole Administrator the administrative head of the Municipality. They emphasized that society is in dire need of men and women of integrity, honesty, sincerity, and indefatigable character, especially within the political strata. To consolidate their support, the group presented a congratulatory plaque to the Administrator.
Hon. Chidiebere Emeribe welcomed the group, expressing gratitude for their open show of solidarity towards him. He commended them for their efforts during the last gubernatorial election, which saw to the re-emergence of Governor Hope Uzodimma for a second term.
He also praised Governor Hope’s infrastructural achievements across the State and especially within the municipality, stating that the 3R administration has not only rejuvenated the Owerri people but also brought about symbolic and impactful strides within the municipality and amongst its residents.
He urged them to always stand in active solidarity behind Governor Uzodimma’s prolific agendas and remain loyal to the ruling party’s hierarchy under the State Chairmanship of Hon. MacDonald Ebere, PhD, as he strives to make the All Progressives Congress the only political household name in Imo State.
Hon. Chidiebere Emeribe reaffirmed his utmost and enthusiastic willingness to always run an open-door policy, poised to accommodate and focus on human capital development and bringing about harmonious co-existence between the people and the government he represents, thereby drawing democratic dividends from the government down to the grassroots.

Breaking: Diri Orders Autopsy on Bayelsa Deputy Governor’s Death, Warns Against Politicisation
Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has ordered an autopsy to determine the cause of death of the state’s Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.
Governor Diri gave the directive on Saturday while receiving former President Goodluck Jonathan at the Government House in Yenagoa.
Reacting to the incident, the governor condemned what he described as widespread misinformation and speculation on social media, warning against any attempt to politicise the deputy governor’s death.
“I want to make an appeal. I have seen people politicise his death. In Ijaw land, there is no enmity in death. Let nobody politicise the passing of our dearly beloved deputy governor,” Diri said.
“If anyone truly loves him, this is the time to show it. I have directed that an autopsy be carried out to reveal the cause of his death. There is a lot of nonsense going on on social media.”
The governor further urged the public to focus on mourning and honouring the late deputy governor, noting that the state government had declared three working days of mourning in his honour.
“If anyone is issuing statements to eulogise him, let it end there. Let us mourn him because Bayelsa State is in a mourning mood,” he added.
Governor Diri also called for unity and love among the people, reminding them of the inevitability of death.
Speaking during the condolence visit, former President Goodluck Jonathan described the late Ewhrudjakpo as a committed and dedicated individual who played a key role in the activities of his foundation.
“For me, he was someone my foundation and I will never forget. He represented the governor in all our programs,” Jonathan said, adding that Ewhrudjakpo worked tirelessly in that role, even more than when he served as deputy governor.
The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said he will never take part in partisan politics, not for even billions of naira.
He stated that no amount of money, including “$1 billion,” (1.4 Trillion naira) would make him join politics.
Oyedepo made this known during an impartation service at Shiloh 2025 held at the church’s headquarters in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.
He explained that partisan politics is not part of his life’s calling and that is why he has chosen to stay away from it.
In his words: “In 2015, I warned the church that trouble was coming. Didn’t trouble come?
“Partisan politics is off my calling. If you give me $1 billion to join politics, I won’t, because it is off my course.”
The bishop also said the world is in urgent need of God’s intervention because of the times we are living in.
According to him, believers are being trained as an end-time army to bring solutions to national and global problems, similar to what biblical figures like Joseph and Daniel did.
