An Anioma man by origin, Rt. Hon. Victor Onyekachi Ochei can be referred to as an Iroko Tree figuratively, whose height is very significant, both to those near and far, as he can be visibly seen by all. This is clearly significant in his accomplishments in his professional life, through leadership.
Currently an executive of NIMASA, his input in the advancement of his current office is so gigantic that not many people can have their feet, fit into the shoes he wears there, having raised the bar through his excellent achievements in office through innovation and strategy.
As the Executive Director of NIMASA, his duties cuts across safety and the enhancement of best practices in Nigeria’s maritime sector.
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, is committed to the enthronement of global best practices in the provision of maritime services in Nigeria.

KARIFEST DUCHESS SPEAKS Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU As A BRIDGE BUILDER Is Building Bridges For ANIOMA, Linking Aniocha Oshimili, Ika & Ndokwa Nations At The National Level & Beyond – Part 14
… As He Keeps Creating Opportunities For Thousands Across Communities, In Governments And Globally.
I do not need to say much in respect to this as the records have proven the above to be true on many occasions, suffice to say that the people are witnesses to this. But for the avoidance of doubts, let me state a few facts here about Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU and for the sake of posterity, which I believe will preserve his legacies.
Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU, an iconic Anioma son is at the vanguard for the development of Aniocha Oshimili through capacity building, human capital development, providing employment for youths, women and employable persons at different levels, regardless of their qualifications. If you go to the NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE for instance, the records speaks for him there as one who has facilitated the employment of thousands and keeps employing more whenever there’s a window of opening for recruitment of new applicants.
You go to MINISTRIES and various PARASTATALS, Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU has provided employment for countless numbers of individuals regardless of your state and origin.
In improving ELECTRICITY in Nigeria, to ensure availability and proper distribution of electricity, I have encountered so many people from different states even as far as Ogun state who said Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU provided them and their communities so many transformers to power their personal projects and their communities.
Coming to ANIOMA where he comes from, which comprises of Aniocha Oshimili, Ika and Ndokwa nations, Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU is building durable bridges linking these three ethnic groups at the state, national and international communities, in the areas mentioned above and below:
1) EDUCATION – Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU has sponsored several indigenes of Aniocha Oshimili, Ika and Ndokwa nations at different levels of learning. From kindergarten to university levels, those whose parents are unable to pay their fees have had Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU pay their fees without any compensatory requirements or deeds of appreciation.
2) EMPLOYMENT – This area needs no introduction as thousands upon thousands of beneficiaries are there to corroborate this and testify to being beneficiaries. Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU has a niche for empowering people with employment that would serve them a lifetime, and by so doing, teaching them to fish rather than giving them fishes to eat and go hungry again.
3) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT – Communities in Anioma and beyond are all testifying as to how good Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU has been to them and has made their communicates better with infrastructural development; Roads, Schools, Health Centers, Vocational Centers, Industrial Water Stations, Town Halls, etc are some of the facilities Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU has put in so many communities across Anioma and beyond.
For WATER projects and COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU has provided clean water to several communities at different times, even when he was not occupying any political office.
4) FUNDING – Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU is known to fund other politicians above and below him. This I call grow and let’s grow. His selfless habit of funding others cuts across politics, businesses, education, vocations, health, individuals, projects, causes and in several other ways that requires funding. Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU is a GENEROUS GIVER and very SELFLESS in supporting others to grow.
5) APPEARANCE – As a personality who carries so much grace, class, wealth, power and influence with him, Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU enriches events with his entry and appearance at such events. His entry and exit from an event adds a lot of colour, class and glamour to such events. Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU is one man who, if he believes in you and your cause(s) can appear at your event unannounced, uninvited and unexpected, just to support you, identify with you and glorify you. He enters quietly and the place changes, but when he leaves, crowds accompanies him out. Such is the personality he is and with this, he has helped several people achieve good donations and support for their events, even when they are ordinary, casual, community events by the grassroots. Yes, Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU loves to identify with his people at home and wherever they are. He is a leader who connects with his people.
The time has come for us all to support and keep praying for Rt. Hon. Ndudi GODWIN ELUMELU to keep winning in leadership, because, when he wins, thousands win and go higher with him.
ANIOCHA OSHIMILI, WE CAN SOAR HIGHER WITH NDUDI GODWIN ELUMELU.
With love and gratitude always.

PRESS RELEASE BY THE APC PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN COUNCIL:
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS AND OTHER LEFT-WING SUPPORTERS OF THE LABOUR PARTY SHOULD COME CLEAN ON THEIR STAND ON PETER OBI’S VOW TO REMOVE FUEL SUBSIDY IF ELECTED
We note that the leadership of the organized labour under the aegis of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Monday, September 13, 2022, at a national retreat of the Labour Party in Abuja, promised to mobilise its members across the 774 local government areas in Nigeria to ensure victory for Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, in next year’s presidential election.
We also note that in several interviews he granted in the last few months and weeks, Mr. Peter Obi has vowed to totally remove subsidy on petrol if elected President. We also note NLC’s long-standing opposition to total removal of fuel subsidy. Other left-leaning supporters of the Labour Party were also present at the event to cheer Mr. Peter Obi.
Consequently, the following questions are urgently begging for answers by the leadership of the NLC:
1. Before adopting Mr. Peter Obi as its candidate, did the leadership of the NLC have a discussion with him on the issue of removal of fuel subsidy?
2. If they did have that discussion, did Mr. Peter Obi agree to back down on the issue of subsidy removal? Was that a basis for supporting him? If he did not back down on the issue, did organised Labour agree with him?
3. If no such discussion held, does it mean the leadership of the NLC now fully supports the removal of fuel subsidy? Or will that not be reckless of the NLC to adopt a candidate without thoroughly interrogating the candidate on his policies as they affect the Nigerian workers or the masses? The NLC must make a public statement and come clean on this.
4. If the excuse is that Mr. Peter Obi has said that the money saved will be used in other critical areas of the economy, how is that different from what the Buhari’s Government is also saying?
These questions have become necessary because Nigerians deserve to know whether organised Labour’s adopted party, which is the Labour Party, supports and promotes a policy that the leadership of Labour opposes in another breath when it is adopted by the government of the day. They cannot be blowing hot and cold.
As our Council stands for issue-based campaigns, we call on all members of the 4th Estate of the Realm not to sweep this point under the carpet and to thoroughly interrogate the NLC and the Labour Party on the one hand; and the seemingly right-leaning supporters of the Labour Party and Mr. Peter Obi on the other, on this issue so that they will come clean before Nigerians.
Thank you

KARIFEST DUCHESS SPEAKS: Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin Elumelu’s Skillfulness At Legislation Puts His Colleagues On Their Toes, Towards Enhancing Legislation In Nigeria
Keep a date with our Federal Legislators at the Green Chambers when in session and you will rightly observe how ONE MAN is making a difference through robust debates, meaningful contributions and courageously encouraging participation amongst his colleagues in the House, with his uncommon performances. That’s the way and the attitude to work of the Minority Leader of the Federal House of Representatives and Member Representing Aniocha Oshimili Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU, whose cleverness, mastery, and skillfulness at his legislative duties, compels better performances from his colleagues, who hitherto, (some) were bench warmers, so to speak.
How has his leadership role in the House enhanced legislative duties between him and his friends and colleagues you may ask? I will list just a few below:
1) Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU’s Skillfulness at Legislation empowers his constituents with new legislations to position his people for the dividends of democracy. One way he’s doing this is by sponsoring bills to set up institutions across Aniocha Oshimili Federal Constituency that will continue to benefit his people beyond his tenure of office. Those are his legacy projects.
2) Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU’s Skillfulness at Legislation emboldens his colleagues to touch on issues of national importance without any fears, and one way he’s doing this is to constantly question some of the president’s stand on issues, especially on Security, education, and unemployment.
3) Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU’s Skillfulness at Legislation builds hope in the youths for a better Nigeria. That the youths can see a Federal Legislator amongst several others who is fearlessly and religiously arresting pressing issues that try to divide us as a people, then unite us, gives hope to today’s youths for a better future, one we can all build together.
4) Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin Elumelu’s Skillfulness at Legislation opens up new frontiers in Nigeria’s democratic processes for an enhanced democracy, that pans across the entire country, of Nigeria. For instance, introducing and requesting public accountability from individuals who try to devalue the naira through undemocratic processes, by taking measures to invite them for questioning over their handling of the naira at public functions, is one of many ways Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU is leading in Nigeria through his legislative duties.
5) Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU’s Skillfulness at Legislation equips, enlightens, and empowers Diaspora Nigerians with firsthand knowledge they can trust, treasure and harness to their advantage within and beyond the Diaspora, especially when they come back home because knowledge is power and those who have knowledge can advance their future in many ways.
Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU’s Skillfulness at Legislation is a clever stroke for winning with legislation, his imprints will remain EVERGREEN, in and out of office.
Winning with love,

KARIFEST DUCHESS SPEAKS: 20 WINNING Attributes of Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU That Would Make Him To Continue To RISE, LEAD And SHINE
To rise, lead and shine are three of man’s greatest cravings or ambitions in life. You choose where to rise or lead. As humans, the desire to shine in life and at all times, is not far from each and everyone of us, regardless of our stations in life. That’s some of man’s quest, to have relevance, to have dominion, to lead, and to soar higher. Only those without any goal or ambition in life would think otherwise, maybe. Need ask why? We all know, or we should all be aware. Man wants recognition, respect, acknowledgement and appreciation. It’s man’s thinking. That unquenchable desire to rise, lead and shine are ingredients for respect, acceptance, recognition and appreciation in today’s chaotic world and from time immemorial.
Why some may rise, shinning is far from them. Others still, may shine, even at their lowest points, that’s glory for beauty. But some rise and shine simultaneously, and also lead in different ways. One of such persons who will continue to rise, lead and shine is Rt. Hon. Ndudi Godwin ELUMELU, member representing Aniocha Oshimili Federal Constituency, and currently, Minority Leader of the lower chamber of the National Assembly, a seasoned legislator, one of Nigeria’s best law makers, a lover of fellow humans and God, fearless in nature, determined to make a difference in the society, firmly courageous, progressive, highly educated and very knowledgeable in the politics of life, blessed with wisdom and wealth, a networker in high places, very charming, friendly, homely, a quintessential grassroots leader, a treasure of inestimable value, a kind soul, mindful in many ways, gracious, abundant in loving kindness, a wonderful family man and a highly influential Nigerian. His qualities speaks for him.
Regardless of any opposition, or the stiffest of oppositions he may have encountered on his way up, or he still might encounter, Rt. Hon.

If APC Committee did a good job, Tinubu Shouldn’t Be Struggling To Explain..
If an APC committee disqualified Governor Obaseki because of the none production of his A level certificate after he showed evidence of attending the Institute of Continuing Education in Benin and doubted his degree certificate from the prestigious University of Ibadan plus the National Youth Service Corp certificate because of the missing letter ‘i’ at the end of his name.
If Emilokan supported the harassment and final disqualification of Governor Obaseki on these grounds which made Edo people to start the “EDO NO BE LAGOS” campaign mantra to show that Edo people cannot be puppets to one Lagos tyrant.
Then APC must do justice to Nigerians. They must show us the complete credentials of EMILOKAN. We are not requesting but demanding.
The Independent National Electoral Commission has been put on notice. They can buy delegates but not Justice. There must be justice for OBASEKI and those the screening committee disqualified!!!
