 That’s Not Fair - Kim Kardashian Says Prisoners Who Fought L.A. Wildfires Were Paid 'Just a Few Dollars,' and She Wants to Change That A renewed push for prison labor reform is gaining attention, with Kim Kardashian stepping in to support new legislation aimed at changing how incarcerated workers are paid. The bill, reintroduced on March 19 by Cory Booker, seeks to ensure that people working while incarcerated receive at least the federal minimum wage. It also proposes limits on deductions for fees, fines, and living costs within correctional facilities, through amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Kardashian, who has increasingly focused on criminal justice reform, explained that her support is rooted in what she witnessed during the Los Angeles wildfires.  “I personally watched incarcerated people who risked their lives battling the massive wildfires,” she said, pointing out that many were paid only a few dollars a day despite doing the same high-risk work as profess...

APGA HAS REMAINED, AS IT OFTEN IS TODAY, A ONE-STATE PARTY IN TERMS OF INFLUENCE. WE DID IT TO BE SO, MYSELF AND MR. PETER OBI -SEN VICTOR UMEH . (PHOTO).

 APGA has remained, as it often is today, a one-state party in terms of influence. We did it to be so, myself and Mr. Peter Obi -Sen Victor Umeh 


‎In an interview with Daily Independent on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, Senator Victor Umeh, representing Anambra Central, has explained how the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) became largely limited to Anambra State in terms of political influence.


‎He said the situation did not happen by accident but was a result of deliberate political strategy taken many years ago.


‎Umeh said APGA was built with a clear focus on Anambra State, according to him, the party’s strength and structure were intentionally concentrated in the state to secure power and stability


‎He explained that both he and former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, played key roles in shaping the party in that direction.


‎He noted that APGA grew into a dominant political force in Anambra because its leaders invested their energy and resources there, the party focused on winning elections in the state and maintaining control of government and this approach, he said, helped APGA to survive and remain relevant over the years.


‎Umeh explained that while the strategy worked well at the state level, it limited the party’s national spread, he said APGA did not expand strongly into other states and did not build the kind of nationwide structure needed to compete for federal power, as a result, its influence remained narrow.


‎He added that Peter Obi’s time as governor under APGA showed that the party could deliver good governance within its stronghold.


‎According to him, Obi performed well during his years in office, which further strengthened APGA’s image in Anambra State, however, this success did not translate into wider national acceptance for the party.


‎He explained that APGA’s one-state nature made it difficult for ambitious politicians to pursue national roles from within the party, this reality, he said, influenced later political decisions by key figures.


‎"You know, APGA has remained, as it often is today, a one-state party in terms of influence, Anambra State. We did it to be so, myself and Mr. Peter Obi," he said.
