Many who watched from neighbouring states, especially Enugu, did so with disbelief, having remembered the conciliatory language Soludo used while campaigning. That moment marked a shift, from persuasion to coercion, from promises to penalties. For many in Enugu State today, that episode is no longer just an Anambra story; it is a cautionary tale.

Barr. Steve Oruruo Takes the Helm as PDP Inaugurates Enugu and Imo Caretaker Committees

Image
  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. The oath of allegiance and oath of office were administered by the National Secretary of the PDP, underscoring the national leadership’s renewed confidence in Oruruo’s capacity to stabilise, reorganise and reposition the party’s Enugu chapter at a time many consider its most vulnerable. The event, which also featured the inauguration of the Imo State Caretaker Committee chaired by Iken...
