 Supreme court ruling path to Labour Party's peace and unity - Otti Abia State Governor Alex Otti has welcomed the Supreme Court's decision to remove Julius Abure as National Chairman of the Labour Party. According to Governor Otti, this ruling will usher in a new era of peace, unity, and order within the party. The Governor believes the Supreme Court's judgment vindicates the party's leadership, particularly since Abure's National Working Committee tenure had long expired. This led to the establishment of a National Caretaker Committee, headed by Esther Nenadi Usman and Darlington Nwokocha, with a vision to foster peace and unity while strengthening the party. The Supreme Court's decision is seen as a step towards restoring peace and unity within the Labour Party, validating the party's leadership and the decision to set up a caretaker committee.

PR/Nwosu/Onah   

Anambra State was agog Tuesday,  Feb 14 ,2023 as Nigerians and visitors from all works of life across the globe thronged the State to pay their last respect to Chief Mbazulike Amechi, Dara Akunwafor, aka The-Boy-Is-Good.

The venue  for the night of tribute was the Anambra State international conference center,  filled to capacity of over 5000 guests.

Governor Chukuma Soludo who led other Nigerians and visitors from other countries of the world likened the passing onto glory of the Nigerians first Aviation minister,Chief Amechi  to the loss of a very huge library, a bastion of knowledge, and a treasure trove of political activism. 

"His profundity was legendary and he can be likened to a tree that makes the forest". 
In a press statement released by the Anambra State Commissioner for information Sir Paul Nwosu, Chief Mbazulike  passed on as the only surviving Minister of the First Republic.

 He built a formidable reputation as a vibrant trade unionist for many years and held full-time offices in the unions from 1949 to 1955.

Born on June 16, 1929, Mbazulike Amechi was inspired early in life by the fiery speeches of Nigeria’s greatest nationalist leader, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, the Great Zik of Africa.

Going down the memory lane on the life and time of the late elder statesman sir Nwosu has this to say"A lionized native of Ukpor in present-day Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, Mbazulike Amechi joined the Zikist Movement while he was still a secondary school student at Etikokwu College, Onitsha, where he earned the Cambridge School Certificate.

He had the habit of always being on the entourage of political campaigns in line with the political catechism of Zik. It was reported that he took an oath with the other members of the Zikist Movement never to get married until Nigeria was liberated from British colonial rule! There was even the other dimension that Mbazulike and other Zikists took another oath that no Zikist arraigned before any court should make any plea of leniency or show any sign of regret for fighting for the freedom of Nigeria. He was a prime mover in the Zikist Movement that included other legendary figures such as Oged Macaulay (son of Sir Hebert Macaulay), Kola Balogun, Ikenna Nzimiro, M.C.K Ajuluchukwu, Fred Anyiam, Mokwugo Okoye, Zana Bukar Dipcharima, Nduka Eya, Margaret Ekpo, Raji Abdallah, R.B.K Okafor, and Osita Agwuna.

He furthered his studies through correspondence by enrolling with Woolsey Hall Correspondence College, Oxford, England. He then enrolled as an external candidate with Beaverly Hill University in the United States and took a BA (Hons) Degree in Political History.

Mbazulike Amechi was elected as a member of the House of Representatives on the platform of Zik’s party, the National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC), in 1959.

He was a dependable ally of Zik who gave him the nickname “The Boy Is Good”. Mbazulike reportedly saved Zik from assassination by apprehending the assassin who was armed with a dagger! He was as ever ready to take the bullet for his leader.

He had the record of becoming Nigeria’s first Minister of Aviation. He on the prompting of Zik hid Nelson Mandela for six months in Nigeria to evade his arrest by officials of the Apartheid regime of South Africa.

Mbazulike Amechi was a progenitor of the “Think Home “philosophy because he operated from his country home known as “Maryland Lodge” in his native Ukpor all through his life. He set up the first rural-based agro-factory in Eastern Nigeria.

In 1985 he authored the book, "The Forgotten Heroes of Nigerian Independence". He was also the author of, "Nigeria: The Two Political Amalgams" published in 1994. His memoir, "Simply The Good: An Autobiography" was published in 2004. To mark his 90th birthday in 2019, he presented the book, "A Political History of Modern Nigeria: Words and Thoughts of Mbazulike Amechi".

A dedicated family man, he was married to Iyom Chinelo Priscilla Amechi, popularly hailed
