Good Governance Ministry (GGM) is open for ideas on the best ways to organise and direct our people to play politics of ideas as against money politics. Of course ,no organisation can function efficiently and effectively without adequate funding . Organisations are funded through members dues ,proceeds from sale of materials and donations. Several millions of naira have been raised for sick and disadvantaged in our society as humanitarian assistance, many who were not registered members of GGM .
Today ,I got a call from one of our supporters in Diaspora . He told me that Chinedu Asuzu has done what many could not do and that Chinedu has functioned more and better than most of the people appointed as Commissioners under Soludo . My Caller was referring to a video where Chinedu was controlling traffic in the night exposing his young life to danger ,ready to take bullet for our sake without anybody paying him monthly allowance. He wondered why Soludo has not invited Chinedu for negotiation.
My response to him is simple : GGM is on divine mission ,and our mission does not include allowing our Leader to work under Soludo . I told him that GGM will set a parallel system that will ensure that those in Government function efficiently until GGM is ready to take over Government . We are not in a hurry. He got the message that we are not hungry- we are ideologically driven .We are not looking for appointment. We will create our own wealth to serve humanity.
We will ensure that Soludo succeeds .For now,Soludo is GGM model for Good Governance but we don’t expect him to perform miracle . The damage and confusion are so deep-rooted that it will take a first class head to navigate to success . Soludo is here to lay the foundation for our future.
As I was going out today to monitor the events on the street of awka ,I saw Dr Onyeka Ibezi – the Deputy Governor on the street supervising the agency in charge of waste disposal . I noticed Soludo effect – the Deputy Governor was dressed for work and was moving with the ordinary workers . I instantly confirmed that visionary Leadership changes people altitude to work .
A. NigerDock is the largest ship fabrication yard in West Africa sub region. When it was sold, its Ex-MD Engr. Nkpubre Okon, openly stated how “Mr Job Creator” ignored the Transport Ministry then to Open bid for NigerDock.
Atiku’s preferred bidder, ‘Global Energy’ that agreed to increase NigerDock’s workforce from 4,800 to 6,000 as part of privatization agreement dismissed 2,200 immediately it took ownership. Jagal Group that took over after Global Energy lost out on power play also sacked 1,400.
Nigeria Port Authority reform was purely contrived to grab landed properties. 10,000 workers were sacked & 133 bids opened for NPA properties consisting of 68 properties in Apapa, 28 houses in Ikoyi. The highest reserves bid was for a property in Ikoyi fixed at N390.4 Million.
NIGERIA RAILWAY
Did Atiku forget how 7000 railway workers were sacked in 2005 without compensation to reduce its workforce to 6,300? Another 1,260 were fired in 2006. When ATIKU and his Headmaster were leaving in 2007, they left ~N5 Billion in unpaid Railway pension arrears.
FEDERAL SECRETARIAT IKOYI
In 2006, Babalakin’s Resort Ltd acquired this 15 storeys prime asset overgrown with weeds from atiku and OBJ through a Development Lease Agreement (DLA) for N7.2Billion. A Court has asked Buhari to pay N54 Billion to Babalakin for that blunder.
The DLA, dated October 10, 2006, granted Babalakin Resort Ltd a 99-years lease to redevelop the Federal Secretariat complex, that OBJ & ATIKU had abandoned for 7 years into 480 luxury apartments. This was at the eve of their departure from government. The transaction was one for the road.
The DLA hit the rocks when Lagos State Govt in the interest of the public indicated willingness in acquiring the Federal Secretariat complex. LASG insisted it should be accorded right of first refusal since LASG is the Issuing Authority of the C of O, coupled with other reasons.
Lets not forget Atiku was in charge of the economy and OBJ gave him free hand until Galaxy Backbone scandal happened.
In 2002, first 3yrs of the Obasanjo/Atiku, manufacturing accounts for 6% of GDP. Nigeria’s GDP fell by half for d first time in 20yrs. This was d year all textile factories in Nigeria closed down and unemployment was 28% within the formal sector alone; I repeat, alone!!
In 2002, UN estimated that 70% of Nigerians live below poverty line compared to 48.5% in 1998 under a military rule. Life expectancy fell from 54yrs to 51yrs. Two-fifth of every child below age 5 were malnourished and only 50% of the 128Million Nigerians have access to clean water.
FACTUAL REPORT ON HOW ATIKU SUPERVISED THE SALES OF OVER 145 FG INVESTMENTS AS A VICE PRESIDENT !!!
Please any or all ATIKU supporters or his campaign structure are free to deny these submission with facts not sentiments.
“As Head of National Council on Privatization (NCP), from 1999, atiku dug Nigeria’s economic grave for today’s extreme poverty and unemployment.
There were over 600 federal assets when Atiku’s NCP started selling.
Atiku should tell us who bought what and what was left for the country when he left power.
To who did Atiku sell the following companies:
Nafcon
Eleme Petrochemical
Daily Times
Ughelli Power
Egbin Power
NICON Insurance
ALSCON
Transcorp Hilton Hotel
NICON Luxury Hotel
Sunti Sugar Ltd
NetCom House
Bacita Sugar Ltd
MM2
In 2007, Onigbolo Cement operating at 500,000 tonnes per annum was sold to Dangote at N1.7Bn
To those selling Atiku, let me remind you of Senate public hearing of August, 2011 which succinctly captures how Atiku through retinue of cohorts, fronts, shell companies, ring fenced over 70% of FG’s assets through a brazen daylight robbery privatization that he supervised.
This is nothing sensational. Its real life facts and all the Senators are alive today.
The 2011 privatization Senate committee was made up of Senator Ahmed Lawan – Chairman, Senators Babafemi Ojudu, Philip Aduda, Mohammed Ndume, Ifeanyi Okowa, Hope Uzodinma and Mohammadu Magoro.
Lets look at Aluminium Smelting Company, ALSCON, that Atiku privatized.
ALSCON which Nigeria built with $3.2 billion, was sold to a Russian firm, Russal, for $130million. As of the time of sale, ALSCON had received $120million for the dredging of Imo River, but was never done.
When the Senate Sitting of August, 2011 asked the Russian company the whereabouts of the $120million dredging money, the company’s Deputy Managing Director, Vitaly Kuzrestov, said that the money has been used for Environment Impact Assessment.”
FG’s Five percent share in Eleme Petrochemical worth USD27 million was never presented at the National Council on Privatization before it was sold to Indorama.
Indorama recovered this amount selling Polyethylene and Urea to the entire west Africa sub-region in just 14 months.
The Atikulate Business Theory: Sell to yourself Government assets that leaves millions in penury, to set up personal businesses that provides for a few. Atiku didn’t employ the few hundreds he employed because he likes them, he needs them to work to preserve what he took from Government
A man who supervised sales of over 145 federal investments as a vice president, without a thought for today wants to be president.
He didnt revitalize them.
He didnt resuscitate them.
He sold them to whomever agrees to his personal terms
THOSE WHO STOLE YOUR 2015–2030 IN 1999–2007 ARE THE SAME THIEVES YOU ARE NOW ROMANCING TO COME BACK!!!
For how long will you allow a few to steal your future and your children’s future and be giving you crumbs. Look at 1999–2007 everything we grew up to know were sold to themselves or the scrap sold for cash.
Nigeria Airways and their houses in GRA Ikeja, what happened to them? When we were growing up most of the houses in GRA Ikeja were owned by the Nigeria Airways and all now sold to whom?
Nigeria RE. The biggest re insurance company in Africa who bought it?
NICON Insurance who bought it ?
NITEL was sold for peanuts and killed by them so that their investment in AiRTEL, MTN,GLO etc will yield dividends
NITEL House one of the tallest in Marina was sold cheap to former Speaker Bankole.
What is the Status of National Stadium Surulere? Millions was budgeted for refurbishment by the sports ministry and nothing to show. Compare that stadium to Lagos State owned Thunder Balogun stadium and the difference is clear .
Nigerian National Shipping line? Where are the ships? They disappeared between 1999-2015
NEPA after Obasanjo spent $16 billion, they broke down NEPA to several units and sold it to themselves and NEPA is still not efficient while Atiku’s Mikano Generators is powering Nigeria & her businesses!
Obasanjo/Atiku sold Port Harcourt Refinery to their cronies in 2007 and thank God, President Yar’ Adua reversed it .
All of these happened in the 8 disastrous locust years of the obasanjo/Atiku, Recession didn’t just happen! They looted us into recession! I cannot stand and watch those who plundered the nation come back in 2023. Stop praising and voting for individuals who took your future away and stop them from coming back to steal your generation away
Nigeria has a population of 200million people we are told.
Our 2018 budget is 9 trillion Naira.
The Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria AMCON, the company that was set up to help the rich buy their debts, told us last month that, 350 Nigerians {out of 200million citizens} are responsible for 80% of AMCON’s N5.4 trillion debt portfolio.
May be you did not hear that well!
AMCON said only 350 Nigerians borrowed N5.4trillion from banks, which they could not pay and AMCON came in to buy up those debts in other to save the commercial banks from collapsing.
To put that in perspective;
2018 Capital Budget is N2.4 trillion
2018 Recurrent Budget is N3.4 trillion
Add both capital and recurrent votes and you will get N5.8 trillion.
But 350 Nigerians, out of 200 million of us borrowed that same amount, they refused to pay and government came round to buy the debts over through AMCON.
The corporation also pointed out that, out of the millions of BVN numbers with the banks, only 100 BVNs collect 60% of bank lendings.
And this has left the banks with 13,000 bad loans worth 5.6trillion borrowed by “big men” who are now fighting to remove this administration so that they wont ever pay their debts!
Now, when they go to recover from defaulters like they did with Silverbird for example, the same cheated ignorant commoners are the first to cry fowl.
Some of the companies owing include:
Seaworlf Nig Ltd – 160billion
Arik Air – 300billion
Tanzila Petroleum Ltd 49.2billion
Resort Int’l Ltd – 36.3billion
Home Trust Savings – 25.75billion
Suru worldwide ventures – 24.4billion
Roygate properties- 23.26 billion
Ziglagsis network Ltd – 20.33 billion
Lexcap partners – 18billion
Anyiam Osigwe Ltd – 17.25billion
Silverbird – 11 billion
Wokson International – 5 billion
From the figures above:
Arik alone is owing more than the 2018 Ministry of Transportation budget which is N263 billion.
Seaworlf Nig Ltd, is also owing more than the 2018 Ministry of Defence budget which is N145 billion.
It’s not rocket science which is a product of our contrived emotions not our lack of education is exonerating, encouraging and emboldening them to make desperate attempts to come back o power!
The Nigeria Police Force hereby declare wanted the following twelve (12) persons in connection with a case of conspiracy, murder, armed robbery, act of terrorism, kidnapping, cultism and unlawful possession of firearms, house breaking, burglary, malicious damage, and conduct likely to cause breach of public peace in Isu-Aniocha, Awka North LGA of Anambra State, Nigeria;
i. Edward Okoye (aka Stone)
ii. Donatus Okeke
iii. Onyemazi Nginii
iii Onyebuchi Nwekeizu Okoye
iv. Nonso Eboh ix. Chukwuka Onyibor
v. Chukwujekwu Anaekeokwu
vi. Chuka Ilodigwe
vii. Chinedu Nwoye Okoye
viii. Nonso Awusionwu Obinna
ix. Cosmos Okonkwo

The Police had earlier secured a court order to declare wanted the suspects, all male of Igbo extraction with ages ranging from 25 years to 55 years old, natives of Isu-Aniocha, Awka North LGA of Anambra State with heights between 1.5m to 1.7m.
Edward Okoye (aka Stone), had in conjunction with others shot two men dead – one Ifeanyi Anazoba (aka Ichafu) and one Chukwuebuka Amodo (aka Mutum) at a burial function in Umuzuocha Town Hall, Awka South of Anambra State on 19th January, 2019, beheaded them and burnt their bodies beyond recognition; kidnapped two others, and vandalized two properties valued at over 1.2 billion Naira. The suspects equally attacked and brutalized some mobile police officers detailed to restore calm to the community.
The Nigeria Police Force therefore urges all well-meaning members of the general public to assist the police with useful information which would facilitate their arrest and ensure they are brought to justice. It further assures that justice would not just be done in the matter, but would be seen by all parties in the matter, to have been done as the police will leave no stone unturned in unravelling the ugly and criminal incident.

GGM is the first political ministry in Nigeria . This is an ideological political movement . The vision bearers are men of stable characters with proven integrity.
The idea of GGM is to provide a platform that will organise the ordinary people to play regional politics. GGM has a short term ,medium and long term plans. In short term ,the Ministry will identify like -minded people and support them to occupy the office of the Governors and the President. These are two important offices in Nigeria. We played a significant role in the election of Prof Soludo. We are in consultation with other like-minded Gubernatorial Aspirants in other States . We are in consultation with Presidential Aspirants. The Ministry in the short term will sustain the political education through strategic partnership with revolutionary media – BVI Channel 1.
Because we are playing ideological politics against money politics , our historical and noble works have not started attracting funding ,so people don’t take us serious ,hence poor funding and low fellowership but ideas rule the world .
In the medium term plan, the ministry will partner like-minded individuals and organizations to deepen the concept of ideological politics in our region .GGM will be a known brand at this stage. With the public acceptance of GGM ideological drive, the political movement will metamorphose into a political party in the long run ,say 5 years .At this State,GGM will start fielding her members into political positions to start implementing GGM Vision and Mission Statements.
To support this initiative , Good Governance Multipurpose Cooperative Society has been registered and being operated to take care of economic needs of members . The President of the Cooperative is an economist with many years of Banking experience . The Cooperative will intermediate between the deficit and surplus sectors of the economy . One key factor working in favour of GGM group is Passion .
People join successful group and GGM will be a brand for today and future.
Less than two weeks after Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo inaugurated the State Executive Council, members of the cabinet alongside Permanent Secretaries are being hosted to a capacity building retreat to prepare them for the tasks ahead.
The retreat holding at the Anambra International Convention Center, Awka was organised for Commissioners, Special Advisers and Permanent Secretaries to enable them key into the policy thrust of building a greater Anambra in line with the manifesto of the Soludo administration.
One of the major reasons for organizing the Capacity Building programme amongst others, is to foster and build team work and unity of purpose among administrators that will be taking decisions in the ministries, departments and agencies of government.
The retreat was also organized with the aim of equipping some of the cabinet members without public service background, with the rules and knowledge of public office.
The Anambra Government and the Police Command in the state on Wednesday agreed to strengthen synergy for speedy dispensation of justice.
The agreement was reached when Prof. Sylvia Ifemeje, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Anambra, led top officials of the ministry on a courtesy visit to Mr Echeng Echeng, Commissioner of Police (CP) in Anambra.
Ifemeje said the visit was strategic in view of the critical role of the Police in administration of justice.
“We have come to visit the CP in Anambra to extend hands of fellowship to him, and find ways to partner with them on crime elimination and addressing insecurity to the barest minimum.
“We understand the role of Police in justice dispensation, and we discussed elaborately on virtual hearings and filtering of cases all in the bid to ensure speedy dispensation of justice in the state with minimal delay.
“Gov. Chukwuma Soludo is passionate about speedy justice, that is why we are here to ask for the cooperation of the Police,” she said.
The Attorney-General said the ministry on her watch would strive to implement and enforce the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Law to ensure that victims of violence and defilement got justice in record time.
Ifemeje promised to make the Anambra Multi-Door Courthouse effective in view of its cost-effective and time saving benefits.
In his response, CP Echeng said the Police and Justice ministry were two sides of one coin, adding that when it mattered in justice administration, the command would provide every needed support.
Echeng called on men of the command to expeditiously investigate all pending cases, grant bail to suspects of bailable offenses, and charge the necessary ones to court for determination.
“The Police need the ministry of justice, and the ministry needs us in the speedy and effective dispensation of justice. We discussed extensively and my command assured the commissioner of full support.
“We shall give them 100 per cent support and do whatever we can do to help achieve speedy dispensation of justice.
“We don’t want our investigations to last more than necessary just as we don’t want to keep suspects more than necessary, unless those who are involved in crimes that police don’t have powers to bail,” he said.
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, has maintained that the state government will go ahead to demolish about 200 houses marked for the exercise at Onitsha, the commercial city of the state.
We learnt that the state physical town planning board had earlier marked the houses for demolition for blocking the drainage systems in the Onitsha metropolis.
The state governor had recently embarked upon the clearing and desilting exercise in the Onitsha communities, to restore the glory of the metropolis.
Soludo, who was represented by his deputy, Mr Onyekachukwu Ibezim, stated this on Wednesday, during a meeting with the affected landlords at the Onitsha South Secretariat, Onitsha.
Addressing the landlords on the need for them to start the gradual removal of the structures, the governor said the state government will adopt the carrot and stick approach.
He said, “You will see us in action if you disobey. The government will come hard on anyone who attempt to disturb the flow of work. We have all it takes to demolish the buildings, just dynamite and the buildings go in a few seconds. We are not coming for a second meeting again with you people.
“There are so many dump sites near residential buildings and water must find its course even if you try to stop it. We don’t want to use force to do it because we are people oriented.”
Also speaking, the transition committee chairman of Onitsha South Local Government Area, Mr Emeka Asoanya, said that, “Some churches were built on the drainages and when you confront those who built them, they will boast that they own the government.
Asoanya, therefore, urged the state government not to look at whose ox is gored in the demolition exercise since the motive was for urban renewal.
The Chairman, Board of Trustees, Importers Association of Nigeria, Chief Gilbert Bravo, urged the state government to apply human face in handling the issue and pay compensation to those who have genuine Certificate of Occupancy.
“If you built on drainages there will not be compensation for you. I also want the government to fix the roads and clear the mountains of refuse that have sacked the area,” he added.
One of the buildings affected is the church of a popular pastor, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere, popularly called Odumeje. The property is located on Bida Road, Fegge, Onitsha.
If Anambra State has a city masterplan ,the reality on ground has shown that such master plan has been greatly distorted and abused by both Government officials and property developers . Instances abound where structures were erected in drainage channels ,thereby obstructing the free flow of flood . An average Igbo man cherishes land asset and would do everything possible to acquire one as one of the measures of manhood is the number of land asset One possesses . There is nothing wrong with acquiring Land but everything is wrong when such land is located in a danger zone .
Sadly ,Government Officials who are paid to protect public interest have in most cases taken to the pursuit of personal interest leading to a societal failure . The resultant effect of such Government failure could be seen in the damages caused by the rampaging flooding around all the cities in Anambra State. Ekwulobia, Nnewi,Ihiala, Onitsha ,Awka etc are not left out in this mad drive to acquire property anywhere no matter the cost.
In Onitsha ,several houses have been marked for demolition to open up flood channels . Prof Soludo Administration has promised smart mega cities in Anambra State . To have a smart city ,the master plan must be restored. It is no longer news that what happened in Abuja under El Rufai will soon happen in Anambra state if we desire to live in a sane and serene environment. Just few days ago ,a friend drew my attention to rampaging flood at Ngozi housing estate phase 11 where his house was almost taken over by flood after a heavy rainfall. Previously ,the same flooding has attempted to sack former Deputy Governor from his residence in Ngozika Housing Estate prompting the former Governor to award contract for the expansion of the water channel but unfortunately property developers could not stick to ethical standard in erecting residential building(s),hence the situation became worst .
It is obvious that certain difficult decisions must be taken to build a liveable Anambra State. Prof Soludo has a task that must be done without fear or favour.

The onslaught against unknown gunmen in Anambra State is obviously being resisted as the criminals have attacked another police station, albeit, unsuccessfully.
The gunmen arrived the Ayamelum divisional police station Anaku, in the early hours of Wednesday but were resisted by the gallant men of the force.
The fierce resistance and return of fire forced the invaders to scamper for safety. In the process, they threw some of the inflammable substances they came with into the operation vehicles and other cars in the premises making them go up in flames.
About three vehicles were completely destroyed as a result of the fire but the building wasn’t affected.
When contacted, the command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu told our Reporter that it was a “failed attack as our men foiled the invasion.”
“The attack was successfully repelled by our officers. We didn’t record any casualties and our arms are intact and our men are in high spirit.
“As I speak to you now, operations are still ongoing in the area to arrest the hoodlums,” Ikenga said.
Anambra Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo had earlier warned that the state will be hot for hoodlums. He also set up a committee that will look into the agitations in the state and proffer solution.
No fewer than five persons have been kidnapped when some unidentified gunmen attacked the Akpo community in Aguata Local Government Area at about 10 pm on Monday.
It was gathered that the five persons were returning from the traditional marriage ceremony of a cousin to the State Commissioner for Special Duties, Sly Ezeokenwa when they were picked at gunpoint.
An alert message by the commissioner, which was made available to journalists, stated that the victims were kidnapped around the Akpo community in Aguata LGA at about 10 pm on Monday and that no contact had been established with them or the kidnappers.
Ezeokenwa wrote, “The following friends of my cousin – Sampson Okafor, Chidozie Eze, Franklin Osuuagu, Chijioke Uduba, Benedict Ozoagwu – who visited for his traditional marriage yesterday (Monday) were kidnapped at gunpoint at about 10 pm last night in Udo Village, Akpo (Aguata LGA) along Akpo – Nkpologwu road about 300m to Akpo Junction. We are yet to establish any contact with the victims.”
The spokesperson of the state police command, DSP Toochukwu Ikenganyia, confirmed the development.
He said the command had launched an operation to rescue the abducted persons, and that the commissioner had also been contacted over the claims.
“The command has already made contact to the Commissioner for Special Duties, Mr Sly Ezeonkenwa, and operation is currently ongoing for possible rescue of the victims,” he affirmed.
