Anambra Commissioner for Homeland affairs, Chief Chikodi Anarah has resigned.

 

Anarah is the second Commissioner to leave Governor Charles Soludo’s cabinet after the former Commissioner of Information, Sir Paul Nwosu.

 

The rssignation of Anarah may not be unconnected with insecurity in the State despite the launch of two security outfits, ‘Aginechemba’ and ‘Operation Udo Ga Achi’

 

Though the outfits have made some inroads by fighting the native doctors alleged to have been involved in the rising insecurity in the State, kidnappings and armed robbery have not abated.

 

A source from the Government House, confided in The Nation Anarah was asked to resign as a form of soft landing by Soludo

“So, during the last Executive council meeting, the commissioner tendered his resignation letter, as he has been made redundant since the appointment of a Special Adviser on community security.

 

“Technically, Anara was sacked the moment Prince Ken Emeakayi was appointed Special Adviser on Community Security,” the source said.

 

The source added: “Ken Emeakayi is working silently and has recorded huge success in their operations so far.

 

” So, there was no need to keep another person for the same role.

“Governor Soludo prefers to give officials a “soft landing” by allowing them to resign rather than being openly sacked.”

  1. No long roads.
    No overexplaining.
    Only what matters, when it matters.

    Fresh signals.
    Clear mechanics.
    Moments that feel right — not forced.

    This is where rhythm meets timing,
    and timing quietly turns into advantage.

    You scroll — you get it.
    You stay — you feel it.

Senate postpones Security Summit following NAF crash

The Nigerian Senate has postponed its two-day National Security Summit scheduled for October 12 and 13, 2026, following the fatal Nigerian Air Force aircraft crash in Igbokoda, Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State.   The summit has been deferred indefinitely in honour of the victims of the crash, which occurred on Monday and involved a Nigerian Air Force ATR-42 aircraft. In a statement on Tuesday, Senate Leader and Chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee on the National Security Summit, Opeyemi Bamidele, said preparations for the summit had been completed following the conclusion of zonal public hearings. He said the crash and the subsequent declaration of national mourning by President Bola Tinubu necessitated the postponement. President Tinubu declared three days of national mourning in honour of the victims and directed that Nigerian flags be flown at half-mast nationwide. “With the declaration of national mourning, the Senate resolved that the national security summit should be deferred till further notice in honour of the victims of the crash,” Bamidele said. The Senate also expressed condolences to President Tinubu, the Nigerian Armed Forces, particularly the Nigerian Air Force, and the families of the officers and crew members who died in the crash. It said a new date for the security summit would be announced in due course, while appealing to stakeholders to bear with the Senate during the period of national mourning. The aircraft crashed near a naval base in Igbokoda. The ATR-42 is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft capable of carrying between 30 and 50 passengers. President Tinubu has directed the Nigerian Air Force to immediately commence a thorough investigation into the cause of the crash, with the aim of preventing similar incidents in the future.
