Is Orji Uzor Kalu: A Trojan Horse in APC’s 2027 Ambitions?

OPINION#AllprogressivesCongress, #BolaAhmedTinubu, #Dr.AlexOtti, #Dr.OrjiUzorKalu, #DrPeterObi, #LabourParty

Is Orji Uzor Kalu: A Trojan Horse in APC’s 2027 Ambitions? In the complex dance of Nigerian politics, few figures have mastered the art of ambiguity like Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the former governor of Abia State and now the Senator representing Abia North. Kalu’s recent political maneuvers raise serious questions about his loyalty, not only to the All Progressives Congress (APC) but to the strategic interests of the Southeast under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. During a recent national television interview, Kalu was asked to respond to Labour Party’s Peter Obi and his increasingly pointed criticisms of the Tinubu…

Re -“2027: Ben Kalu’s Needless Battle With Southeast Governors” – Response to Misguided Diatribe

OPINION#BenjaminKalu, #BolaAhmedTinubu, #Dr.AlexOtti

Re - “2027: Ben Kalu’s Needless Battle With Southeast Governors” –Response to Misguided Diatribe By Uche Aguoru The recent article titled “2027: Ben Kalu’s Needless Battle With Southeast Governors” is, without mincing words, an unfortunate cocktail of political mischief, misplaced fears, and a glaringly weak attempt to malign the towering image of Rt. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu. What masquerades as analysis is in fact a labored screed from a clearly biased Labour Party sympathizer who is struggling to suppress the uncomfortable truth of Benjamin Kalu’s rising political influence. not just in Abia State, but across the Southeast region. Let us,…

ABIA STATE ASSEMBLY UNDER OTTI's GOVT: A Case Study Of Executive Overreach By Our Guest Writer The relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government is a critical aspect of democratic governance.

YAR’ADUA: The Quiet President, The Loud Legacy*A must read! By Collins Opurozor "Fading away like the stars of the morning,Losing their light in the glorious sun—Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling,Only remembered by what we have done." On this day, May 5, we remember President Umaru Musa Yar’adua, who passed away in 2010. It has been fifteen years, yet his memory still stirs emotion and reflection across Nigeria. He was not a loud leader. He did not rule with bravado or theatrics. But he governed with a rare sense of honesty, humility, and purpose. In a…

The Master Slave Relationship In Abia North Senatorial Constituency Must Stop

OPINION#OrjiUzorKalu

The worst incidence of weaponization of poverty is happening in Abia North where Senator Orji Uzor Kalu holds sway as the senator representing the zone. Abia North should be pitied having degenerated from master/servant relationship to master/slave relationship. How else do we describe the OUK mantra of sharing 1km, 1.5km and at times 0.5km roads to constituents who then roll out the red carpets for him. In some communities whose access roads are 5km and even beyond, they're given 2km of such projects while the rest of 3kms and more are used as vote bets for the new upcoming election.…

Mayor Ossy Nwaka: Ikwuano Council And Her Yesterday’s Road

OPINION#IkwuanoLocalGovernmentArea, #MayorOsinachiNwaka

Mayor Ossy Nwaka: Ikwuano Council And Her Yesterday's Road I feel that, in the short space of six months, Mayor Osinachi Hycinth Nwaka has been able to impact the lives of Ikwuano. It's not gainsaying that Nwaka's administration met Ikwuano Local Government Council in a dungeon and just like an animal farm, the entire place was like an abandoned thatched house. Apparently, there was no life there let alone any functional basic infrastructure. This atmosphere undoubtedly, had left the people particularly staff of the Council in a deep state of despondency. However, with the emergence of Nwaka, this protracted, piteous…

Neither Ikwuano Nor Labour Party in Crisis

OPINION#GovernorAlexOtti, #Ikwuano, #LabourParty, #OsinachiMwaka

Neither Ikwuano Nor Labour Party in Crisis By Concerned Ikwuano Citizen My attention has been drawn to a rather childish, badly scripted, and blatantly infantile aberration targeted at tarnishing the image of the hardworking mayor of Ikwuano Umuahia Local Government, Hon. Ossy Nwaka, and the Labour Party family as a whole. Ordinarily, I would have looked the other way because I do not hold brief for the mayor, nor am I his image maker in any capacity. However, it is an affront to our collective sensibility and moral obligation that a group of frustrated individuals will be allowed to have…
