 Group demands declaration of Aba North Assembly seat vacant, threatens protest A group known as the Coalition of Aba North Ethnic Youth Groups has mandated the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Emereuwa to declare the Aba North seat vacant in seven days. The Aba North seat has been a subject of controversy since November 27, 2023, when the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos sacked Destiny Nwagwu of LP and declared Aaron Uzodike of the PDP, the duly elected member to represent Aba North.

     Onitsha-Asaba Bridge was closed this morning, in conjunction with Governor Ifeanyi Okowa Delta state, and Governor Obiano of Anambra state.

Madubuko and his team visited Onitsha Bridgehead on Saturday, May 23, 2020.“During that visit, it was discovered that the viral picture was not only the figment of the corrupt imagination of the creators but also that vehicles bearing essential commodities as well as persons on special assignments are enjoying unfettered access. “It is pertinent to note that the two pedestrian walkways at the bridgehead had to be barricaded to ensure the proper identification by the security personnel. “We, therefore, enjoin the general public to discountenance the pernicious falsehood and continue to observe necessary protocols aimed at containing the spread of the coronavirus. “Fifth columnists should not be allowed to distract the State and Federal Governments as they work with experts to protect the lives of Nigerians.”.One more photo below.
