Chima Amadi is an Agent of Lawlessness, Constitutes Nuisance To Imo Polity –Group petitions NSA, DSS, EFCC, others

The founder of The Mazi Organization, (TMO) Dr. Chima Amadi has been labelled as a agent of Lawlessness and complete nuisance to Imo people owing to his insighting statements and moves as well electoral and security sabotages; building towards the next guber elections in the state.

The Coordinator, Greater Imo Initiative (GII), Hon. Ethelbert Nnanna while reeling out the gross offences and misconducts of Dr. Amadi in the state and Nigeria at large, on behalf of the group in a televised press conference at NUJ Press Center, Owerri, stressed that the outcry was aimed on the urgent need to “defend the truth, dismantle lies, and protect the reputation of the State from the wrecking crew of ambition-driven charlatans”, noting that efforts of mischief makers to discredit the leadership strides of Governor Uzodimma would never be allowed to becloud the his achievements across boards

“We will not allow anti-Imo propagandists to stain the unity of our people or the hard-earned achievements under Governor Hope Uzodimma”

The group in the foregoing called on the National Security Adviser (NSA), the Department of State Services (DSS), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Police and other relevant agencies to take up the matter as a red-alert national security issue.

“The Greater Imo Initiative (GII) is a foremost defender of truth, good governance, and civil liberties in Imo State. For years, we have remained a non-partisan watchdog, exposing falsehoods, promoting responsible leadership, and safeguarding the civic space. It is in this spirit of duty to the people that we respond to the grave nuisance and dangerous theatrics of Mazi Chima Matthew Amadi.

“The nuisance value of this individual has reached intolerable levels, and it has become imperative for GII to rise in defence of peace, stability, and truth in our state.

“For months, Amadi has paraded himself like a self-anointed conqueror, spreading deliberate lies, blackmailing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and insulting Imo leaders of repute. What Imo people now face is not mere opposition politics, but a carefully orchestrated nuisance designed to destabilize our state.

“Beyond nuisance, what now confronts us is outright criminality. In recent weeks, Amadi has brazenly moved across Imo State, including sensitive environments where politics is not even permitted, such as university campuses and places of worship, distributing cash recklessly in tens of millions. In at least three videos currently online, he is seen spraying Naira notes, and even dancing on them, in open violation of our financial laws and our national currency regulations.

“Let it be clear: the Greater Imo Initiative is never against philanthropy or genuine almsgiving. But when a man who has never lived in Imo, who cannot even mention the names of three streets in Owerri nor drive himself from Owerri to his village in Ngor Okpala, suddenly arrives with questionable riches to splash illicit cash and stoke crimes in the name of running for governorship, it ceases to be generosity. It becomes criminality, and it calls for concern, outrage, and condemnation.

“This is not just indiscretion; it is a crime. The Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, in Section 2(1), prohibits individuals from making or accepting cash payments above ₦5,000,000. Furthermore, Section 18 of the same Act prescribes a minimum of 4 years imprisonment for offenders. By this alone, Amadi has placed himself in open defiance of the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Added to this is his abuse of the Naira itself, which under the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, 2007, Section 21(3), criminalizes the spraying, dancing upon, and mutilation of our national currency, prescribing imprisonment or fines for offenders. These are not minor matters; they are clear breaches of law that demand urgent action.

“We therefore call on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to apprehend and prosecute this agent of lawlessness without any further delay.

“It is troubling to note that Amadi seems not to be acting alone. He often references certain external, desperate political actors in Abuja, whose only agenda is to impose themselves on Imo politics at all costs and capture the treasury of our state.

“Therefore, Amadi’s relentless and senseless attacks on Governor Hope Uzodimma are not driven by any ideology or patriotism but by one selfish objective: to wrest control of the APC structure in Imo State ahead of 2027 elections. This is the true face of his ambition: personal gain disguised as activism.

“Most nauseating of his missteps is his repeated boast that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu personally sent him to destabilize Imo State. This is not just absurd; it is an outrageous insult that cannot be condoned. The President is a principled statesman, the leader of the APC, and the architect of its national unity. For Amadi to drag his name through the mud in this manner is political gutter work of the lowest order. President Tinubu has never, will never, and can never fund the sabotage of his own party in any state. The claim by Amadi is nothing but the hallucination of a desperate man with an inflated ego in search of uninformed victims of his political game.

“We, therefore, demand that the security agencies immediately clamp down on this unhinged assault on the Commander-in-Chief. This is beyond politics; it is character assassination against the President and a direct affront to the unity of the Nigerian state.

“Even more treasonous is his claim that he has been printing INEC sensitive materials as a contractor, and that he has already printed ballot papers and result sheets for the 2027 Imo governorship election. All of these, he often claims, are done because he is an agent or front for the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

“By claiming to be an “agent” of INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and boasting of having facilitated electoral malpractices in other states, Amadi is deliberately sabotaging public confidence in INEC. His goal is obvious: to play the false messiah to the gullible while dragging the nation’s electoral umpire into disrepute. Such claims are combustible, not just treasonous. They are the political equivalent of shouting “fire” in a crowded theatre.

“They must be treated as such.
In view of this, we issue a direct, public appeal to the National Security Adviser, the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, and all relevant agencies: treat these statements as a red-alert national security matter.

“Specifically, we call for immediate raids and searches on all known residences of Chima Amadi in Ngor Okpala and Abuja to find any INEC materials he claims to possess. If Amadi is lying, prosecute him for willful misinformation; if he is telling the truth, prosecute him for possessing illegal election materials. Either way, the man belongs in the dock.

“Even more worrisome is the fact that Chima Amadi, who is not a public office holder and who has not held even a councillorship position all his life, now parades himself with a large army of security agents as though he were already a state governor. This is a dangerous charade designed to give the false impression that he is being backed from above. We ask in all seriousness: has Nigeria become such a country where impostors and political jesters can infiltrate the security forces and deploy our gallant officers and men for political impersonation, fraudulent misrepresentation, and hatchet jobs? This ugly spectacle must not be allowed to stand”, the group concluded.
