Anambra Govt Affirms Ebuka Onuorah as Substantive PG, Debunks Factional “Interim” Claims.


NKIRU NWAGBO 


The Anambra State government through Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs has authoritatively put to rest weeks of orchestrated confusion in Enugwu-Agidi community, Njikoka LGA, by formally recognizing Hon. Chukwuebuka David Ebuka Onuorah as the substantive and continuing President-General of the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU). 


In a communiqué issued on November 26, 2025 (Ref: MLGCCA/CM/010/T/276), Commissioner Hon. TonyCollins Nwabunwanne explicitly declared: “That Hon. Chukwuebuka David Onuorah is the substantive President-General of the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union,” thereby debunking a malicious online publication that portrayed Onuorah as “estranged,” “arrested,” and already replaced.


The same communiqué, emanating from a high-level reconciliation meeting held at Government House, Awka, on November 26, scheduled the next EBU executive election for December 29, 2025, and mandated that it be conducted under the supervision of the current (Onuorah-led) executive in strict compliance with Sections 26(2) and 26(9) of the union’s constitution.


 This single official document has demolished the foundation of a widely circulated hatchet job titled “Enugwu-Agidi Sets To Elect New President General On December 29th” authored by one OkeyChris, which falsely claimed that a “14-man NEC” meeting on November 30 had installed an “interim PG” (Ozo Kenechukwu Darlington Okoye) and set up an electoral committee to prematurely eject Onuorah.


Residents and stakeholders have roundly condemned the OkeyChris article as sponsored propaganda designed to create confusion and stampede the community ahead of the constitutionally recognized December General Conference. 


The story had sensationally alleged that the state government had “arrested” a crisis caused by Onuorah and endorsed the factional moves. In reality, no arrest has ever taken place, no interim leadership has been recognized, and the Ministry’s November 26 directive, signed by the Commissioner himself, completely invalidates every claim made in the false report.


The Commissioner’s letter further directed Onuorah to immediately convene a National Executive Committee meeting under the outgoing executive to select three Returning Officers, submit their names to the Ministry by December 3, 2025, and conduct the election by secret ballot with accreditation from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on December 29. 


Copies of the communiqué were sent to the Special Adviser on Security, the Commissioner of Police, the Igwe of Enugwu-Agidi, the Mayor of Njikoka LGA, and the DPO Abagana, confirming the Soludo administration’s determination to ensure a violence-free, transparent transition.


Njikoka LGA Chairman, Hon. Prince Chidolue John Clarence Nwankwo, who also received the communiqué, confirmed to newsmen that neither his office nor the Ministry has declared the PG position vacant or recognized any parallel structure. 


“The Honourable Commissioner has spoken clearly. Hon. Ebuka Onuorah remains the substantive PG until a new executive is sworn in on December 29 or 30, in line with your constitution,” he stated.


Supporters of the embattled PG hailed the government’s intervention as a decisive blow to months of smear campaigns, including the November 20–23, 2025 suspension letter signed by 87 persons (which Onuorah dismissed as a “beer-parlour document”), September 2025 women’s protests over alleged land grabbing, and repeated online attacks. 


They pointed to Onuorah’s tangible achievements; graded roads, enhanced security through state-supported vigilantes, scholarships, and welfare packages, as the real reason behind the sustained onslaught by a vocal minority.


As Enugwu-Agidi prepares for the December 29, 2025 polls, community leaders have urged all factions to respect the Ministry’s directive, disregard the discredited OkeyChris publication, and work together for a peaceful election. With the Anambra State Government having spoken unequivocally, any attempt to parade an “interim” administration or conduct parallel elections now stands clearly exposed as unconstitutional and destined to fail. 


The community looks forward to a credible transition that will consolidate the gains recorded under the current leadership and usher in sustained peace and development.
