  Concerned Enugu State Youths (CESY) have demanded the immediate resignation of the Enugu State Commissioner for Transport following the alleged attack and brutalization of students by officials of the Ministry of Transport (MOT), describing the incident as a disgraceful abuse of power and a direct assault on the collective dignity of young people in the state.

  The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has once again entrusted the fragile but strategic leadership of its Enugu State structure to Barrister Steve Oruruo, a move that party stakeholders describe as a deliberate return to tested hands at a moment of intense political pressure and recalibration. Oruruo was formally re-inaugurated as Chairman of the Enugu State Caretaker Committee on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, in a ceremony that symbolised both continuity and resistance as the party confronts sweeping defections and the overwhelming dominance of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state.
