Abia’s Q3 2025 Financial Report: Facts, Context And The Politics Of Manufactured Doubt – A Response To Obinna Oriaku – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Economy, Good Governance
Abia’s Q3 2025 Financial Report: Facts, Context and the Politics of Manufactured Doubt — A Response to Obinna Oriaku Public commentary on Abia State’s finances is healthy for democracy, but it becomes dangerous when it is anchored on selective interpretation, exaggerated arithmetic, and an unfortunate attempt to weaponize public misunderstanding. Obinna Oriaku’s critique of Abia’s Q3 2025 Financial Report is a vivid example of how numbers can be stretched to create suspicion where none exists, and how nostalgia for opacity can be disguised as patriotism. His concerns sound weighty until they are placed beside verifiable data, constitutional accounting rules and…

What If Gov. Otti Is Wrong?: A Question That Falls Apart The Moment The Facts Arrive – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

What If Gov. Otti Is Wrong?: A Question That Falls Apart The Moment The Facts Arrive – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
*WHAT IF GOV. OTTI IS WRONG? A Question That Falls Apart the Moment the Facts Arrive* Every political era has its favourite question, and in Abia today, the provocation of choice seems to be: “What if Gov. Otti is wrong?”It is a beautifully dramatic question—until one places it beside actual history, verifiable data, and the sobering memory of what Abia truly was before May 2023.

This individual understands perfectly well that the tales he spins are crafted, curated, and coloured for effect. He knows the difference between reality and the fictions he spreads. But in a…
