Icheoku congratulates Governor Sullivan Iheanacho Chime of Enugu State, Nigeria on his victory at the Appellate Court, sitting in Enugu which reversed his annulled election. (An Election Tribunal had earlier annulled his election as governor; see appellate text posted as comment 1 below).
This is something we at Icheoku do not normally do, regarding "elected" offices in Nigeria as we are firmly convinced that there are usually no elections but "selections" in Nigeria! However we are making an exception with this under the special circumstance that the same Election Tribunal that nullified Sullivan's own governorship "election" victory had earlier upheld the "e
lection" of the master-rigger Chimaroke Nnamani himself, to the Nigeria Senate. Something does not seem right by this picture that a master will be found innocent of the same charge for which his servant was found guilty. Icheoku would have preferred that all elections of May 2007 in Nigeria from the Presidency of Umaru Yar"Adua, Senators, Representatives, Governors, Assemblies and Local Government were cancelled completely in view of the massive irregularities of the said "election" under the supervision and direction of the disgraced Olusegun Obasanjo. But our wish did not come true and now we have to operate within what is available; we feel that justice has been done by the Appellate Court with respect to Governor Chime by upholding
his "election"! Icheoku hopes that all past politicians and/or public office holders will learn how to gracefully make their exit so that the incumbent will find a benevolent environment to try and fulfil his own election promises. In this way they will be more respected and deferred to as statesmen which status their peaceful transition ordinarily would have bequeathed on them.
Based on the heretofore canvassed premise, Icheoku now formally congratulates Governor Sullivan Iheanacho Chime of Enugu State, Nigeria on his victory and urge him to among other things, urgently address the criminality of ritual killings currently going on in some parts of Enugu State. (see account of such incidents posted as comment 2 below). Icheoku also implores the governor to be ma
gnanimous in his victory and not to follow the part of vindictiveness that has made his predecessor a pariah in Enugu State. Governor Chime should understand that he is the governor of all Enuguans and not just a select few; and also try and resist the pressure for a pay-back that will be mounted by hangers-on and political jobbers. Once again, congratulations Governor Sullivan Iheanacho Chime!

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
