Otti And Aba: A Bond Built On Performance – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

OTTI AND ABA: A BOND BUILT ON PERFORMANCE By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD The flag-off of the reconstruction of Uratta Road and Old Express Road in Aba on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, marks another decisive step in Governor Alex Chioma Otti’s commitment to rebuilding Aba and restoring its position as a major commercial and industrial hub in the South East. The two projects, covering approximately 7.09 kilometres, demonstrate that the transformation of Abia State is driven not by political rhetoric but by deliberate investments in infrastructure and economic recovery.

I Do Not Trust Abdul El-Sayed: Political Promises, The Kennedy Comparison And The Question Of Constitutionality – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics

I DO NOT TRUST ABDUL EL-SAYED: POLITICAL PROMISES, THE KENNEDY COMPARISON AND THE QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL LOYALTY By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeOctober 21, 2026 I believe political trust must be earned through a consistent record, not demanded through campaign speeches. My scepticism of Abdul El-Sayed begins with that principle. I do not regard his public assurances as sufficient grounds for confidence in his political judgment. Nor am I persuaded that invoking John F. Kennedy settles the questions surrounding his record. KENNEDY'S NAME IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR EVIDENCE On September 12, 1960, President-to-be John F. Kennedy addressed concerns about whether…

Ebola, Uganda, Nigeria And The 2027 Elections: Coincidence Or Something More Sinister? – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters

EBOLA, UGANDA, NIGERIA AND THE 2027 ELECTIONS: COINCIDENCE OR SOMETHING MORE SINISTER? By Pastor AProf. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeWednesday, October 21, 2026 I have been studying the recent developments surrounding the Ebola outbreak in Africa, particularly the reported movement of the disease through Uganda and its confirmed arrival in Nigeria. I am disturbed, not merely by the public-health implications, but by the coincidence of these developments with Nigeria's approaching 2027 general elections. I have no evidence that the outbreak was politically engineered. But I believe the country must examine the potential political consequences of any prolonged health emergency. Could a disease…

The Opposition’s Magic Wand: Why They Expect Otti To Fix Decades Of Decay Overnight – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics

THE OPPOSITION'S MAGIC WAND: WHY THEY EXPECT OTTI TO FIX DECADES OF DECAY OVERNIGHT By Pastor AProf. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeWednesday, October 21, 2026 I have read the latest attacks on Governor Alex Chioma Otti over the condition of public schools in Abia State. I consider the concerns about dilapidated classrooms serious, but I reject the attempt to present one deteriorating school as proof that the entire education reform programme has failed. I will confront this argument with facts, dates, records and the responsibilities that come with governing a state burdened by years of infrastructural neglect. On October 21, 2026, Theo…

Columns/Opinions/Letters, National Assembly, Personality

EVULUOGU IBEKU: AN ELDER THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN JAIL. I watched the latest prancing of content by Chief Charles Ogbonnaya, aka, Evuluogu Ibeku as he busied himself demonstrating craze before a motley rented crowd with cheap allegations of federal rice palliative diversion against Honorable Obi Aguocha. I couldn't help but exclaim, how are the mighty fallen? This content by Evuluogu don cast. it is laughable and a mockery of common sense. It all shows that Charles Ogbonnaya, at over 80 years is now afflicted by unprecedented political senility such that circumspection demands that he should be taken into the…
