Owerri, Imo State – October 18, 2023 – In a display of solidarity and appreciation, the Owerri Tyre Dealers Association’s leadership paid a visit to Hon. MacDonald Ebere, PhD, the Imo State Party Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the State Party Secretariat of Imo APC. Led by their State Chairman, Chief Uche Okafor, the delegation extended their heartfelt gratitude to Governor Hope Uzodimma for the remarkable infrastructural transformations that have reshaped the landscape of Imo State during his tenure.
Speaking during the meeting, Chief Uche Okafor commended Governor Uzodimma for the substantial improvements in the state’s road network, particularly the vital connections between Imo State and its neighboring states. He humorously noted the days when their customers within Owerri had to traverse rough roads to reach their establishments, resulting in inefficiencies and losses. However, since Governor Uzodimma assumed office, the transportation of goods has become remarkably efficient, enabling businesses to receive supplies in record time.
The Chairman of the Tyre Dealers Association also acknowledged the Governor’s commendable efforts in eliminating burdensome taxes and levies that had previously strained their businesses financially.
In response to the association’s visit, Hon. MacDonald Ebere expressed his gratitude and underlined the pivotal role played by the Tyre dealers in the state’s economy. He assured them of the continued protection of their interests and the importance of sustaining the momentum of development initiated by Governor Uzodimma.
Hon. MacDonald Ebere added, “Governor Uzodimma’s leadership has brought a new dawn to Imo State. The transformation we’ve witnessed in infrastructure and the ease of doing business is a testament to his commitment to the prosperity of our great state. The Owerri Tyre Dealers Association’s support is crucial in ensuring that this progress continues.”
He went on to emphasize the importance of maintaining this progress by re-electing Governor Uzodimma, stating, “Your support in mobilizing votes for the Governor’s second term bid is essential. We cannot afford to lose the momentum we have built. Let us work together to secure Imo State’s future.”
The meeting also saw members of the Owerri Tyre Dealers Association express their unwavering commitment to actively mobilize support for Governor Uzodimma’s re-election. They pledged to work tirelessly to secure his victory in the upcoming elections. Hon. MacDonald Ebere assured them that their activities would be consistently reported to Governor Uzodimma.
Joining the State Party Chairman in the meeting were the Organizing Secretary of Imo APC, Hon. Ikechukwu Umeh, Owerri Municipal APC Chairman, Hon. Onyekachi Ibezim, and Owerri Municipal APC Youth Leader, Comrade Onuoha Onyewuchi.
As the meeting concluded on a positive note, the Owerri Tyre Dealers Association left Hon. MacDonald Ebere’s office with a renewed sense of purpose. Their visit exemplified their determination to support Governor Uzodimma’s second term bid and their appreciation for the transformative infrastructural developments he has spearheaded. With their commitment to spreading the message of the Governor’s achievements, the association leaders are poised to play a significant role in shaping the political landscape of Imo State in the forthcoming elections.

The Enugu State Police Command has dismissed reports alleging that herdsmen have invaded and occupied homes and schools in Eha-Amufu, describing them as “baseless, mischievous, and misleading.”
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, stated that no community in Eha-Amufu or any part of Enugu State is under siege.
He clarified that the affected farm settlements are temporary structures used by farmers, not permanent residences.
“While it is true that there were farmer-herder clashes in 2021 and 2022, peace has since been restored through joint security operations,” Ndukwe said.
He further highlighted the efforts of the Enugu State Government under Governor Dr Peter Mbah to bolster security in the area.
These measures include the deployment of 150 military personnel, the establishment of security barracks, and the near completion of the 21.7km Agape-Agu Mgbuji-Ogbete access road leading to farm settlements.
The Police Command also accused the media outlet responsible for the report of using unrelated and outdated images to mislead the public.
“For instance, pictures of burnt houses posted by Amnesty International regarding an attack in a neighboring state on February 4, 2025, were falsely presented as recent incidents in Eha-Amufu,” Ndukwe noted.
Commissioner of Police, CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa, urged the public to disregard the false report and assured residents of the state’s commitment to security.
“We remain steadfast in ensuring law, order, and peace across Enugu State,” he said.
The police encouraged residents to report any security concerns through official channels and cooperate with law enforcement agencies.

An anti-corruption advocacy group, the Young Guardians of Accountability (YGA), has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) to investigate the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Abubakar Badaru, over allegations of abuse of office and conflict of interest.
In a petition signed by its chairman, Adediran Raymond, YGA accused the minister of violating federal laws that prohibit public officials from engaging in private business activities.
The group alleged that Badaru maintains directorships in multiple private companies despite his ministerial position.
YGA demanded an inquiry into whether the minister fully disclosed his business interests in his official asset declaration, arguing that his continued involvement in the companies represents a “brazen disregard for the rule of law”.
As of press time, neither the minister nor his representatives had responded to the allegations.
The EFCC and ICPC have also not issued any official statements regarding the petition
