ABIA APC’S COMEDY OF CONTRADICTIONS: WHEN OTTI WORKS WITH TINUBU, THEY CRY; WHEN HE REMAINS IN LABOUR PARTY, THEY CRY AGAIN There is something increasingly comical about the politics of the Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress.When Governor Alex Otti collaborates with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government to attract projects to Abia, they accuse him of trying to take credit for President Tinubu’s achievements.When he publicly acknowledges the Federal Government, they complain that he has not gone far enough.When he maintains his membership of the Labour Party, they accuse him of political deception.Now they want…

UCHE AGUORU’S LENGTHY TIRADE COLLAPSES UNDER BASIC ECONOMIC SCRUTINY — BY PASTOR PROF. CHUKWUEMEKA IFEGWU EKE

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

😂😂😂 Uche Aguoru has written a long article, but unfortunately, the economics inside it is limping like a badly inflated tyre. Title: “Governor Alex C. Otti, A Titleholder in Profligacy.” Very dramatic. But once you remove the insults, the argument collapses like wet akamu. 😂 Let us expose the lies systematically. The first fraud is the headline itself Calling Alex Otti “titleholder in profligacy” because of one Q3 table is not economics. It is political theatre. Development economics does not work by screenshot. Public finance does not work by WhatsApp anger. A budget implementation report is not a gossip sheet.…

APC, LP And The Politics Of Selective Performance Tourism In The South East – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics

APC, LP AND THE POLITICS OF SELECTIVE PERFORMANCE TOURISM IN THE SOUTH EAST Let us be honest: every political tour has its own bias. When a Presidential Media Team linked to the Renewed Hope family visits Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia, we must expect that the reading of performance will not be completely innocent. Ebonyi is APC. Enugu is increasingly friendly territory to the centre. Abia is LP, and whether anyone admits it or not, APC is watching Abia with serious political interest because Alex Otti remains one of LP’s strongest subnational symbols. So yes, bias is possible. Very possible. But…

OTTI: A Leader Whose Performance Speaks Louder Than Words By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD The recent tour of key Federal and State Government projects in Abia by the Renewed Hope Presidential Media Team has once again reinforced the truth that Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, is redefining governance through performance. In today's Abia, development is no longer a promise or a campaign slogan. It is a visible, measurable and undeniable reality.

Anti – Otti Propaganda Has Now Entered Commercial Bus – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

ANTI-OTTI PROPAGANDA HAS NOW ENTERED COMMERCIAL BUS. So because one driver sits inside a bus and laments, Abia should cancel reform? Wonderful logic. Next, let one man sit inside a wheelbarrow and declare that road construction is anti-poor because wheelbarrow pushers may lose business. Then government should stop building roads. Biko, let us think small. Every reform has a transition pain, yes. But no serious society remains in chaos because some people are comfortable with disorder. Before now, motor parks were scattered everywhere, passengers were dragged like Christmas goats, touts taxed people without receipts, roads were blocked, and nobody knew…
