How Quack Reporting Tried To Smear Prince (Dr) Alex Mbata A recent blog post by one obscure blogger, Francis Ndimkoha making rounds on social media attempted to link Prince (Dr) Alex Mbata, the renowned philanthropist and industrialist, to the ongoing Ngwoma Obube Ezeship tussle. The write-up, published by an obscure online platform, is a lazy piece of quack journalism, riddled with falsehood and desperate attempts to draw attention through name-dropping.  For the record, Prince (Dr) Mbata has absolutely nothing to do with the traditional leadership matter in question. The Imo State High Court, Owerri North Judicial Division, presided over by Hon. Justice L.C. Alinnor, on October 2, 2025, issued an order restraining both parties in the Ezeship dispute — Chinedu Ekeocha and Crown Prince Kemakolam Onukogu — from parading themselves as the Eze of Ngwoma Obube pending the determination of the substantive suit. The ruling was clear, balanced, and lawful. At no point did the court mentio...

He said the appointment of Paul Obinatu Esq was meritoriously deserving as he is a sound legal luminary who knows his onion and has efficiently contributed to the good of humanity, success and growth of the state.

Paul Obinatu is the most youngest Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Imo State since the creation of the state. He is a loyal party man, committed and a dedicated loyalist, a well respected jurist, a member of 2010 Set of Councillors and that is where my relationship with him started and till then he has piloted the affairs of the Councillors before his appoi...

  By Lawrence Opara   As an Imo indigene, I am used to the Uzodimma government insulting my intelligence. When they come out and cut ribbons or do groundbreakings, I know the subsequent project will be substandard at best and abandoned at worst. I am used to Governor Hope lying with a straight face about the security challenges in the state, with no scruples whatsoever. But even for them, the latest outburst I saw on Daily Post from the Commissioner for Information, Declan Emelumba, is a new low. In his attempt to discredit a private citizen's statement about Imo State’s appalling maternal mortality rate, the Commissioner didn’t just miss the point, he insulted our intelligence with a wild rant devoid of any introspection or logical thinking.  Emelumba was attacking a claim by Dr. Chima Amadi about Imo State having one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world due to lack of adequate healthcare for Ndị Imo. However, in his puerile and honestly infuriating rebut...

  Some concerned citizens of Ngwoma-Obube Autonomous Community in Owerri North Local Government Area of Imo State have issued a stern warning to those behind what they described as a coordinated campaign of blackmail and propaganda against their illustrious son and philanthropist, Prince (Dr.) Alex Mbata. In a strongly worded statement signed by the President General (PG) of the community, Anthony Emeka Akwazie, and Anayo Azomchukwu, released over the weekend, the stakeholders described as false, unfounded, and malicious the recent reports alleging that Prince Mbata used security operatives to block the entry and exit routes of the community and tear-gassed residents to prevent a supposed fake coronation of one Kemakolam Onukogu, who lays claim to the Ezeship stool. “The ridiculous claim that Prince Mbata used caterpillars and armed policemen to barricade entry and exit points of his community, Ngwoma-Obube, is a fabricated lie from the pit of hell. “It is a calculated attempt to i...

  BY RALPH EJIMKONYE As the political temperature gradually rises in Imo State, attention is already shifting towards the high-stakes battle for the 2027 governorship election. Though Governor Hope Uzodinma’s tenure is expected to lapse by January 15, 2028, behind-the-scenes maneuverings and subtle campaigns have begun in earnest, setting the stage for one of the most contested races in the state’s democratic history. In typical Nigerian fashion, while a few major contenders have publicly shown signs of interest in the coveted seat,.others are still mum, but maintaining a studious interest on unfolding developments. Evidently, defections and realignments, subterranean meetings, increased media visibility, and subtle endorsements, paint a clear picture of ambitious gladiators plotting their way to Douglas House. *The Power of Incumbency: How Far Will Uzodinma’s Succession Plan Go?* One of the most important questions going into the 2027 race is: Will Governor Hope Uzodinma anoint a ...
