Tenth National Assembly: A Fair Bargain For South East Overdue

OPINION#BolaTinubu, #MuhammaduBuhari, #Ndigbo, #NigeriaSenatePresident

Tenth National Assembly: A Fair Bargain For South East Overdue By Ifeanyi Okali It was Holly Black who said, "We don't need to be good. But let's try to be fair". Since the beginning of the current political dispensation in 1999, there is arguably any region that has been unfairly treated like the South East region of the country. It has again resonated with an age-long animosity, strife and suspicion, leading to a heightened campaign for self-determination and balkanisation in sheer contrast to the dreams of our founding fathers. Apart from being the only zone that has not produced an…

Abia 2023: A Fresh Start With Otti?

OPINION#AlexOtti, #LabourParty, #NnaemekaOruh

Abia 2023: A Fresh Start With Otti? I think I can write a book about any profession I have been in and it will be legit. I have always given my spirit, soul, and body, wherever I found myself. The great thing is that if and when I talk, it is always backed with evidence. And of course, I know all the “big people”. ???? I have always had a pure heart. Never been blinded by personal interests. That’s why no one can ever accuse me of hypocrisy. Well, no objective person. I don’t think Abia needs PDP or APC…

OPINION: Four frontrunners in Enugu guber race

OPINION#Enugu2022

OPINION: Four frontrunners in Enugu guber race Outsiders and resident political neophytes have quaked and shivered over the noises generated by the activities of social media crusaders on who leads the pack of four frontrunners in the governorship election of Enugu State. The attendant disturbances have snowballed into name calling and charges, often accentuated in denial of profiles of the contenders, to score some cheap points. Those who had been of the Ebeano political organization now deny their membership and join in clubbing it to the ground. The ones who are kit and kin and thorough bred…

Otti’s Alleged Plan to Downsize Abia Workforce is Propaganda *The Otti that I know... By Sam Okoro The Abia State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently embarked on an aggressive, fresh, ill-conceived and malicious propaganda to disparage the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Dr Alex Otti and stir public disaffection toward him. The ruling party is going about alleging that the former Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the defunct Diamond Bank Plc is harbouring a sinister plan to downsize the Abia State workforce, when elected governor. This is obviously a clear case of blackmail…

(FACT-CHECK) IKPEAZU'S SUDDEN LOVE FOR ABIA WORKERS: A Destructive Blessing *When a naked man promises you a dress- By Charity Uwakwe During my secondary school days and in one of the subjects- Literature, I had come across a certain word "Oxymoron". I loved this word so much that when we were told the meaning, it stuck more deeply in my heart than all other figurative language tools Oxymoron, I was taught, simply means "the lying side -by side of two contradictory words. One of the illustrations that I also had stuck in my head was "A destructive blessing". At first,…

OPINION, POLITICS#AyoOgunsan, #BabajideSanwo-Olu, #LagosStateGovernent

Why Governor Sanwo-Olu deserves a second term by Dr. Ayo Ogunsan Except, of course, one wants to be economical with the truth or deliberately turn a blind eye to it, the many wonders of the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, in the city of excellence, Lagos, are too numerous to mention, making him deserve a second term in office. I daresay that every Lagosian can attest to the fact that the amiable governor had done remarkably well, touching all sectors of human endeavour as he religiously strives to fulfil all his campaign promises as promises…

The Man Okey Ahaiwe: Renowned Compassionate Leader

OPINIONcompassion, Okey Ahaiwe, PDP

The Man Okey Ahaiwe: Renowned Compassionate Leader Anonymous Writer In life, to many, leadership is an innate trait, to some, it is inherited while to others, it is developed. However, to me, leadership with a compassionate attitude is a rare virtue. This unusual virtue of compassion is the quality that brings one to the point of needs of the suffering masses. It takes compassion to be liberal to those who flock around you. Although power can be acquired, but the compassionate will to do good with power is innate, inborn and instinctual. Sir Okey Ahaiwe, the PDP Governorship Candidate…

Dr. Alexander Otti: A White Pebble Amongst the Black Pebbles By Ifeanyichukwu E. Uke

OPINION, POLITICS#Abia, #AlexOtti, #IfeanyiUke, #LabourParty, #WhitePebble

Dr. Alexander Otti: A White Pebble Amongst the Black Pebbles By Ifeanyichukwu E. Uke Those who know me know I have eloquently been critical of Dr. Alexander Chioma Otti, OFR as a public figure and one of Abia’s elite sons. My critique of Dr. Otti is never borne out by personal sentiments or vendettas. It was borne out of his cozy association with the previous powers in the Abia State government; a parley that somewhat portrayed him in a compromising light. Be that as it may, just like every human including yours indeed, Dr. Otti has his shortcomings and his strengths…

Operation Kick Uzodinma Out Of Abia Abians Arise, Hope Uzodinma's plan to relocate to Abia State on the 10th of March ahead of the governorship and House of Assembly elections holding on 11th March must be vehemently resisted by all and sundry.

Since Hope Uzodinma assumed office as Governor of Imo State through the most shameful judicial rascality in Nigeria history, Imo State has not known peace but…
