Otti, Ngwaland And The Politics Of Selective Amnesia: Facts Are More Stubborn Than Press Statements- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Otti, Ngwaland And The Politics Of Selective Amnesia: Facts Are More Stubborn Than Press Statements- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
OTTI, NGWALAND AND THE POLITICS OF SELECTIVE AMNESIA: FACTS ARE MORE STUBBORN THAN PRESS STATEMENTS The latest attack on Governor Alex Otti following the endorsement of his second-term bid by the Ngwa National Association USA (NNAUSA) deserves a response — not because criticism of government is illegitimate, but because criticism becomes intellectually weak when it conveniently walks around verifiable facts. The Coalition of Concerned and Patriotic Ngwa Citizens (CCPNC), as reported by The Sun on 8 September 2026, described the NNAUSA endorsement as “political sycophancy” and challenged anyone to identify meaningful development in Ngwaland. That is an extraordinary challenge because…

From Houston To Umuahia: When The Diaspora Stood Up For Otti – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

From Houston To Umuahia: When The Diaspora Stood Up For Otti – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
FROM HOUSTON TO UMUAHIA: WHEN THE DIASPORA STOOD UP FOR OTTI Abia State Governor receives historic endorsement at the 35th Annual NNAUSA Convention in Houston, Texas, as diaspora community vows absolute backing There are endorsements that are negotiated in political backrooms. There are endorsements announced by party officials before an audience already programmed to applaud. And then there are moments that develop almost organically—when a gathering meant for conversation suddenly assumes a political significance far beyond the walls of the hall. Houston appears to have produced one of those moments for Governor Alex C. Otti. Thousands of kilometres away from…

OTTI’S NEW ABIA RESONATES IN HOUSTON ...As Governor’s Scorecard Takes Centre Stage at NNAUSA Convention By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD The message of a changing Abia resonated strongly in Houston, United States, on Friday as Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, engaged Abians of Ngwa origin under the platform of the Ngwa National Association, USA (NNAUSA) during the association’s 2026 convention.

One Echo, Two Microphones – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

One Echo, Two Microphones – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
ONE ECHO, TWO MICROPHONES? Is Obinna Oriaku Becoming the Political Amplifier of Eke O. Ako? Samuel Okenyi's glowing portrait of Hon. Obinna Oriaku raises a rather more interesting question than the one it attempts to answer. Perhaps the question is no longer: Who is Obinna Oriaku? Perhaps we should begin asking: Where does Eke O. Ako end and Obinna Oriaku begin? 😂😂😂 Calm down. Nobody is suggesting—at least not yet—that Chief Obinna Oriaku wakes up in the morning in Abia, criticises Governor Alex Otti as Obinna Oriaku, flies spiritually to Scotland before lunch, changes into an engineer's helmet and returns…

Obinna Oriaku, Before The Poetry, Can We Have Some Prose Answers? – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Obinna Oriaku, Before The Poetry, Can We Have Some Prose Answers? – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
OBINNA ORIAKU, BEFORE THE POETRY, CAN WE HAVE SOME PROSE ANSWERS? Obinna Oriaku has written another long sermon on Governor Alex Otti and security votes. Fair enough. Every government should be questioned. But there is one small problem: Obinna Oriaku was not an innocent spectator during the Ikpeazu years. He was Commissioner for Finance from 2015 to 2019. So, Ekwedike, before we accept today's lecture on fiscal morality, kindly answer these questions. HOW MUCH EXACTLY DID GOVERNOR OKEZIE IKPEAZU RECEIVE AS SECURITY VOTE WHILE YOU WERE COMMISSIONER FOR FINANCE? Not estimates. Not political grammar. Not stories about today's government. Give…
