Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Health

PLEASE, WHERE EXACTLY IS THIS “ABIA PRIMARY HEALTHCARE CENTRE”? A video of a dilapidated building has been posted with the caption: “Primary healthcare in Abia State; Alex Otti is only working on social media.” But the video provides: ❌ No signboard❌ No name of the health centre❌ No community❌ No ward❌ No local government area❌ No date of recording❌ No identifiable Abia landmark So, how was the building conclusively located in Abia State? Through Facebook GPS? 😂 At this rate, the building could be in another state, another country—or even on Planet Mars! 😂😂 This is not how responsible public…

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…

In today's Abia, development is no longer a promise or a campaign slogan. It is a visible, measurable and undeniable reality.
