  • APC chiefs mourn as Abia ex-gov Ogbonnaya Onu dies

    APC chiefs mourn as Abia ex-gov Ogbonnaya Onu dies

    Chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress apc have expressed their condolences to the family and friends of the first civilian governor of Abia State, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu.

    Onu, an ex-minister of Science and Technology in the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, reportedly died in a health facility in Abuja on Thursday following a brief illness.

    He resigned in 2022 to join the APC presidential race.

    President Bola Tinubu won the party’s ticket.

    Efforts to get the reaction of the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, were unsuccessful.

    But the death of the 72-year-old politician was confirmed in separate interviews by two members of the All Progressives Congress National Working Committee.

    Speaking with PUNCH Online, Deputy National Organising Secretary of All Progressives Congress, Nze Chidi Duru, described the late party man as deliberate and focused, adding that his death was a big blow to the APC.

    He said, “I also just heard about the sad news from a credible source. Although I don’t have all the details yet, we are waiting for the announcement by the family before we can make an official comment on his death.

    “He was a gentleman, focused and very deliberate. Everything we know about life is a continuum. He has run his race and gone to his maker. We can only continue to wish for his soul to be at rest wherever he is.”

    The National Vice Chairman (South-East) of the party, Dr Ijeoma Arodiogbu, also confirmed the death of the politician, who he described as a founding father of the APC.

    “Oh, yes. I just heard the news myself. In fact, I am planning to go to his place (Abuja residence) in the next one hour,” he said.

    Arodiogbu also confirmed that the late minister was nursing an undisclosed illness for a while before his death.

    “He has been ill for a while and had not been seen in public circle. Ogbonnaya Onu was a wonderful man. He was one of our best.

    “You remember he was a presidential candidate but had to drop his ticket for Chief Olu Falae when the presidency was zoned to the South West.

    “During the merger, he was one of the founding fathers of the party and remained a party man until his death. He was a big wig of the party in the South East. We will miss him so much,” he stated.

    Barely an hour after the news of his death went viral, his residence in the Federal Capital Territory has become filled with mourners.

    A graduate of the University of Lagos, Onu became a teacher at St. Augustine’s Seminary in the Ezzamgbo area of Ebonyi State.

    After the completion of his doctoral studies at the University of California, he became a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Port Harcourt, where he rose to become the pioneer head of the department.

    The ex-minister began his political career as an aspirant for a senatorial seat in the old Imo State under the umbrella of the National Party of Nigeria.

    In 1991, he contested for the position of Governor of Abia State on the platform of the National Republican Convention and won.

    Onu was sworn in as the first executive governor of the state in January 1992.

    Ruger speaks on fall out with D’Prince, claims his money was used to fund new artist

    Ruger said that the money they were getting from him was being used to find new artists and pay other musicians who were associated with the company.

    The singer said that the music contract was meant to be renegotiated, but he was unable to extend it as the company did not encourage him to build his brand to the extent he desired.

    He accused the label administration of being obscure and excluding him from important choices that impact his personal brand and music career in a string of tweets.

    He said:

    “As much as I’m very appreciative of the fact that Jonzing world introduced me to the world, I just couldn’t continue with them because they got too comfortable with the money they were making from me and couldn’t push me further as I wanted to be pushed.

    Was supposed to renegotiate the contract but I couldn’t imagine 5 years more without action. Dey use my money Dey fund new artiste, leaving me in the dark, not being transparent. I just laugh. How e be now? Many things to to talk but dem fit go wait for me for ikoyi link bridge stab me wotowoto.

    Edo poll: Eight ex-LG chairmen return to APC

    Eight former local government chairmen in Edo State, on Monday, returned to the All Progressives Congress(APC) after moving to the Peoples Democratic Party with Governor Godwin Obaseki in 2020.

    They were received on Monday night at the Benin residence of the leader of the party, Senator Adams Oshiomhole in the company of the APC governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo, and his running mate, Dennis Idahosa and the acting state Chairman of the party, Jaret Tenebe.

    Receiving them, Oshiomhole, said, “On behalf of our state chairman, the APC family, and the governor in-waiting, Senator Monday Okpebholo, and his deputy, Dennis Idahosa, I am very honoured to receive my men – these are people whom God used me to mobilise into ACN and now APC. Some of them have played very critical roles in governance when I was governor. They were local government council chairmen.

    “Like every family, sometimes there are misunderstandings or communication gaps which made them leave the party, but today, they’ve come to inform us they are moving back home.

    “The good news is that this house is so large with many rooms and a big living room which can accommodate everyone as it has accommodated all of us today without much planning, no logistics is involved and no hiring of canopy.

    “So, for me, I am excited that these men have chosen to return home, and we’ve all resolved to receive them as if they never left. They will enjoy all the rights and privileges that members of the APC enjoy.

    “For chairmen who have joined us in the current project to ensure that through free and transparent election, this great state, the heartbeat of Nigeria, returns under the governance of the APC with Okpebholo and Idahosa as the deputy,  are not strangers to ballot boxes; they are products of ballot.

    “All they need is to spread that influence across the state to kick start the progressive politics of the APC that guided my action when I was governor and continue from where I stopped. I am excited and happy about this.”

    Speaking on behalf of the returnees, Ilaboya said, “This is homecoming because I know what you did to me and where I am today is where you put me.

    “So, coming back home is special, and I feel that too for all of us here. We are your children, and we want to continue with your vision for the people driving this project. I can assure you that we are going to work with them to make sure this project is realised.”

    He said: “I was also singing. In 1991, I was told someone wanted to sign me. ‘We are going to sign you on’. He came from Sony Music. So he called me and I signed the contract. He signed. And then he said ‘Okay we are going to start recording.’

    “I went to Ife to do Dramatic Arts. My dad did not like the idea because he wanted me to be a lawyer. At a point in time, I thought he was not going to pay my school fees to go and read drama.

    “Then the National Theatre was running an open theatre then… ‘welcome new artiste Segun Arinze’. I said ‘Excuse me sir what is this? I said why are you changing my name? The album came out – ‘Dreams’. Everywhere was ‘Segun Arinze, Segun Arinze. That was how the name got changed from Segun Aina to Segun Arinze in a nutshell.”

    An Austrian-Nigerian singer Rose May Alaba, has discussed the problems she faces as the sister of Real Madrid star David Alaba.

    Rose May spoke exclusively with 88.5 UFM about her experiences and the myths surrounding her family.

    According to Rose, people believe her family grows money on trees, and because her surname is related to a famous football player, they are seen as a bank.

    Rose May underlined that finding genuine people has been difficult, as everyone believes they have everything.

    In her words:

    “To be honest, the hustle is real. Everybody wants to make money. And I feel like once people hear my last name because it’s connected to a big soccer player which is my brother [David Alaba], they see us as a bank. They think we grow money on trees. But that is not the case.

    “It’s hard to find genuine people who see the vision. And I feel like you always have to believe in yourself first for them to actually help you.”
