Governor Hope UZODINMA Senior Special Assistant on creative media have narrated part of his history and travails in politics and media, in his Facebook page he stated “I joined Facebook in 2010, started following current affairs in 2011, and began writing about politics in 2012. Since then, I have remained consistent to this day.
I was awarded “The Most Vibrant and Social Media Informer of the Year” by Imo Social Media Searchlight Concept, an event organized by Mc Tboy Samuel and his boss, MC Banana Mouth….the first in Imo state social media community.
Same year, April 2014, I received my first political appointment as a media consultant to the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu (may God continue to rest his beautiful soul).
This marks 15 years on Facebook and 13 years of political engagement here. And in all these years, not a single person can claim that Ambrose Nwaogwugwu has defrauded them of even 1 kobo.
When you mention my name, people may call me all sorts of things—praise singer, sycophant, data boy, or even Uzodimma’s slave—and I wear these names as a badge of honor. However, no one can associate my name with any form of scam or fraud.
Were it not for politics, my name would have remained completely unblemished. But in life, one must be known for something. Nevertheless, if my name is mentioned in my absence, it will never be linked to fraud or dishonesty.
You are defined by how people speak of you in your absence, not by what they say when you are present.
I urge young people to be cautious in their dealings and avoid anything that could tarnish their reputation. There are individuals whose names, when mentioned, immediately bring to mind multiple accusations of fraud and scam—and when several people say the same thing, they can’t all be wrong.
Young people must do better.
I was raised with the fear of God, and I have always refrained from anything that could bring dishonor to my name. While growing up, my mother constantly reminded us that our name is NWAOGWUGWU, a prestigious name that must never be stained….that out name is not good in mkporo ghieghie (whilstling). She emphasized that stealing, fraud, and deception are not in our lineage—a principle I uphold to this day.
Apart from politics, no human born of a woman can accuse me of any wrongdoing.
Young people must strive for a better way of life.
Yes, times are tough, but there is dignity in honest labor. Defrauding and scamming others is not labor—it makes you nothing but a thief.” he said

The minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has declared that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is already losing political ground in the state.
Wike, speaking at a grand reception held in his honour by the Kalabari people in Abalama, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Saturday, criticised the governor’s choice of allies, saying that Fubara is surrounded by individuals who had previously harboured governorship ambitions.
According to him, he refused to approve Fubara’s alliance with those individuals because he knew they had no good intentions for the people of Rivers State.
The minister declared that Governor Fubara was already down politically and boasted that more setbacks were awaiting him.
He said, “You (Fubara) surround yourself with people who wanted to be governor, to whom I said ‘no, these people don’t mean well for Rivers State.’ They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice.
“Do you think you will succeed? They will give you bad advice and look at what bad advice is doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come. I have never seen this type of politics where you surround yourself with those who want your seat.”
This comes a few days after Wike said nothing catastrophic would occur if the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Martins Amaewhule, proceeds with the impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaking during a media parley in Abuja on Wednesday, Wike stated that there was nothing unusual about a state legislature removing a sitting governor over alleged impeachable offences, including claims that Fubara withheld lawmakers’ salaries for several months.
The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart said, “If you have committed an offence to be impeached, what’s wrong? Is it a criminal offence? It’s provided in the constitution. Am I a member of the Assembly?
“If you have committed an infraction of the constitution and the Assembly deems it fit to say, you should be impeached.
“I have heard people say: ‘Oh, if they impeach him, there will be a breakdown of law and order. ’ Rubbish! Nothing will happen.”
Wike also dismissed suggestions that the Assembly was acting in bad faith, noting that if the lawmakers were not interested in peace, they would have embarked on a six-month recess after the Supreme Court’s verdict on the state’s political crisis.
