Obi, Obiano, Soludo failed but I’ll transform Anambra - Senator Ubah

By


Ifeanyi Ubah, a member representing Anambra South in the National Assembly, has called on the people of Anambra to give him their mandate in the 2025 governorship election to enable him to address the state’s leadership questions.


Mr Ubah of the All Progressives Congress, who spoke to journalists in Nnewi on Sunday, said he was asking for just a term of four years.


He said he would conduct local government elections within four months if he became the governor to encourage political participation at the grassroots and make LGA funds available for competitive and decentralised development.


He said local government elections would also unbundle the state government, make local government funds available to them and shift development to grassroots while the state exercises a supervisory role over them.


The senator said, “All I ask for is one term of four years. I promise to conduct local government area elections within four months of (my) election. At the moment, I rate governance in Anambra for the past 18 years at 20 per cent.”


He said further, “I will bring 80 per cent content that has never been discussed in governance. I have a burning desire to contest the next governorship election in Anambra because this government and those before it have not been able to put the state in the development trajectory that our people desire.”


Mr Ubah added, “We have a need to create support for our commerce. We have to develop our sector to make it a hub for health tourists and we have to accelerate community development through local government elections.


“Voting for people with over-bloated personalities and structure has failed us. It’s time we voted for people with passion and people with a track record; that is who I represent. I am prepared to change the narrative, and that is why my manifesto has remained the same from 2013 to date.” 


Mr Ubah said he had electorally wrested power from the ruling All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), having won a Senate seat two consecutive times on the platform of the Young Progressives Party, a minority party.


He described the faceoff between Governor Charles Soludo and traditional rulers in Anambra following the conferment of the chieftaincy title on him as unfortunate and unnecessary.


“I felt bad about it. It is a debt in our traditional institution. I strongly believe that those who championed that did not know what they did. Thank God it has been reversed though without apology to me,” he said.

Communication Gaps Linked to Rising Relationship Conflicts

By
Is trust more important than communication in a relationship? Relationship experts share insights on what truly sustains love, emotional security, and long-term commitment. In a time when relationships are increasingly shaped by social media, instant messaging, and shifting expectations, a long-standing debate has resurfaced: What truly matters most in a relationship — trust or communication? From marriage counselors to everyday couples navigating love in the digital age, opinions remain divided. While some insist that trust is the backbone of any lasting union, others argue that communication is the real engine that keeps relationships alive. Recent conversations among relationship therapists and social commentators suggest the answer may not be as simple as choosing one over the other. Growing Concern Over Relationship Stability Across cities and communities, relationship breakdowns are becoming more common. Analysts point to issues such as insecurity fueled by social media, ...

By
PayPal Confirms Major Data Breach — How to Protect Your Account If you use PayPal — particularly if you've ever applied for a PayPal Working Capital business loan — stop what you're doing and read this carefully. PayPal has officially confirmed a serious data breach. Not a rumor. Not a third-party leak. A confirmed, company-admitted breach that left your Social Security number, date of birth, email address, phone number, and home or business address exposed to unauthorized strangers for nearly six full months. And for some users? It went further than exposure. Money was actually stolen. What Happened — The Full Story Behind the PayPal Breach This didn't happen because a hacker deployed some Hollywood-style cyberattack. The breach resulted not from an external intrusion campaign but from an internal software defect — a code change within the PayPal Working Capital loan application interface that inadvertently permitted unauthorized third parties to a...
