   By Our Correspondent  The Anambra State Chapter of the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has reaffirmed its unwavering position rejecting any form of tenure elongation for national officers of the Council, as well as any attempt to amend the constitutionally recognised age bracket for youth membership. Recall that the leadership of the NYCN in Anambra State had, earlier in September 2025, publicly rejected the proposed Tenure Elongation Congress slated for Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. The congress, which eventually held on Sunday, 20th September 2025, sought to expand the official age bracket of youths within the NYCN from the statutory 18–35 years to 45 years, contrary to existing legislation and established norms. The Anambra NYCN’s earlier statement—jointly signed by pioneer State Chairman Chief Obumnike Asuzu (1996–2006), Dr. Nwabufo Nwankwo (2006–2013), Comrade Frank Maduka (2013–2017), and the incumbent State Chairman, Comrade Surveyor Obi Emeka Chukwudi had al...

  By O'star Eze  In a sit-down interview that breaks new ground in the town’s protracted leadership saga, Hon. Amb. Ebuka David Onuorah, President-General of Enugwu-Agidi since 2021, has for the first time publicly quantified the legal onslaught against him at 34 separate court cases, a figure previously whispered in beer parlours but never confirmed by the PG himself. Speaking from his verified business office in Abuja, Onuorah described the cases; ranging from terrorism allegations to vigilante petitions, as “orchestrated political weapons” deployed by entrenched interests threatened by his levy-collection overhaul and push for village-chairmen elections. “I have never been indicted in any legitimate court because the truth always prevails,” Onuorah declared, producing a certified true copy of a 2024 Federal High Court ruling dismissing a gun-running charge for lack of evidence. The explicit tally of 34 lawsuits marks the first time any party in the Enugwu-Agidi crisis has a...
