The Aninri council chairman ran his successful campaigns on the premise he would model Gov. Peter Mbah and “do wonders” in Aninri.
“Its clear this man [Prince Nwanjoku] is not playing,” Igwe Dan Okechukwu Njoku, the chairman Aninri traditional rulers council, said. “Go to Aninri headquarters and see that the ‘wonders’ he talked about wasn’t just political rhetoric.”
The Mail has been monitoring public opinion since Prince Nwanjoku’s landslide victory on September 21.
“His posture and position over the untold decay within the council Secretariat seem to me a sincere one,” said Comr. Stephen Ekpete, a Lagos-based businessman.
Decades of misrule, arrogance and unaccountability have left Aninri people disillusioned, prompting a near-successful ambush to oust the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) from power in the 2023 elections.
Although the party survived the tsunami, especially in Aninri where PDP is specially rooted, so many a lot of people had continued to distrust it.
The Mail detailed how Governor Mbah beat the looming PDP abyss by practically handpicking “strong, trusted individuals” like Prince Ugo Nwanjoku to man every aspect of the state.
Barely a month after he was inaugurated, Prince Nwanjoku is renovating more 15 buildings which are considered deathtraps inside the council headquarters.
“I like this man because he is doing the work masterfully. He has already started. He is not just talking; all the things you see on the video clips are real and happening now in Aninri,” said a traditional ruler from Nenwe who preferred anonymity.
According to the traditional ruler who said he personally toured the buildings and confirmed the ongoing renovation himself, Nwanjoku’s media persona isn’t a facade.
“He is solid and he is sincere about the governance,” he said, added that “his open-door policy” is what endears him to the masses more.
The Mail carried detailed surveillance on public infrastructures in Aninri last year, sponsored by former interim Chairman of the council area and former Commissioner for Labour and Employment, Hon Uche Ogbonna.
The findings were shocking as it was indicting as network of dirty deals, involving household names in the zone, featured in the report.
“We’re not going to look at the past. We won’t probe or fight any past leaders.
“All I want to do is to run the business of the government with uttermost diligence. Ndi Aninri shall be the judge – let them judge their leaders, including me as the executive chairman as of today,” Prince Ugo Nwanjoku said in a phone chat.
However, series of viral video clips from the chairman’s media office since October have revealed but too much, eloquently capturing the immediate past, chairman Bennett Ajah, as the ultimate force of evil.
