 Umueri Crisis Claim: False, Election to Hold April 8 - Says Anambra East Mayor


By Nwegbo Ifeanyi 


The Anambra East LG Chairman, Hon. Ifeanyi Chinweze, has denied allegations of a leadership crisis in Umueri General Assembly, calling the statement from Ikenga Umueri Unity Forum "

false and misleading.


Addressing journalists, Chinweze said Umueri is peaceful, with town union elections scheduled for April 8, 2026.


He claimed Ikenga Umueri Unity Forum, which issued the statement, is actually frustrating the election with selfish motives. 


He distanced himself, PG Chief John Metchie, and electoral committee chairman Barr. Eugene Aghaebe from the allegations, saying they were innocent.


The controversy arose after Chinweze insisted Ikenga should not hold key positions like, Secretary, and Vice President simultaneously since they have president general, considering Umueri's three quarters (Ezi, Ikenga, and Invite).


The statement had been signed by dignitaries, including Chinweze, Metchie, and Aghaebe, but Chinweze claimed they were unaware.
