DR. AKO-ATULOMAH, FOLLOW THE MONEY—AND ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT IT HAS BUILT – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke Dr. Enyinnaya Duke Ako-Atulomah, thank you for your considered response, your acknowledgement of the official documents and your Sunday goodwill. Happy Sunday to you too. Your acceptance that financial records are available has moved this discussion forward. Your recognition that budget underperformance does not automatically establish wrongdoing is equally welcome. The Abia State administration accepts scrutiny. But scrutiny must examine the financing structure, the expenditure record, the history of implementation and the projects delivered. Repeatedly stating that publication is insufficient does not answer the evidence already presented. ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIRES THE WHOLE RECORD. THE ₦900.28 BILLION…

Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha Responds To Chinedum Orji; Promises To Defeat Him Again

Abia State, News Flash, Politics

Rt Hon. Obi Aguocha Responds to Chinedum Orji. We are glad that he has acknowledged his previous defeat in 2023. Chinedum Orji was not just defeated by Rt. Hon. Aguocha in 2023 but by the entire people of Ikwuano/Unuahia Federal Constituency. Before this defeat, it must have been mental cruise for him, thinking that, he could simply trance through life unperturbed. Chinedum Orji's biggest challenge is in thinking that his defeat in 2023 election by Rt. Hon. Obi Aguocha was due to "Obi Wave." It was certainly not. Chinedum Orji's defeat in 2023 election was essentially a people rejection due…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

ABIA’S ACHIEVEMENTS CANNOT BE ERASED BY ULTIMATUM: KALU KALU MUST RESPECT ARISE NEWS’ INDEPENDENCE Kalu Kalu’s letter turns a request for verification into an attempt to dictate a newsroom’s decisions. Its central demand is indefensible: accept his sponsored trip within seven days or retract favourable statements about Governor Alex Otti’s infrastructural performance. A politician’s deadline is no test of truth. Abia State’s projects do not cease to exist because ARISE News declines a travel sponsorship. Roads cannot be wished away by correspondence, and public achievements cannot be cancelled by a candidate seeking electoral advantage. Port Harcourt Road, Aba, provides a…
