“Crossing The Line”: When Opposition Criticism Becomes Contemptuous And A Nuisance To The State – By Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

“Crossing The Line”: When Opposition Criticism Becomes Contemptuous And A Nuisance To The State – By Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

"Crossing the Line": When Opposition Criticism Becomes "Contemptuous" and a Nuisance to the State The recent Federal High Court judgment declaring shadow governments unconstitutional has fundamentally redrawn the line between legitimate opposition and unlawful activity in Nigeria. For political actors in Abia State, this ruling transforms the political arena: criticism is a right, but establishing a parallel government is now an illegal act. This legal precedent forces a critical examination of when robust political engagement crosses the line into what the state has termed a "nuisance," a transition from constitutional dissent to contemptuous challenge that threatens public order and invites…

When Failure Speaks, Abians Laugh. Otti Is Working, Ikonne Is Wailing – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

WHEN FAILURE SPEAKS, ABIANS LAUGH. OTTI IS WORKING, IKONNE IS WAILING By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Paul Ikonne has once again embarrassed himself by talking about governance in Abia. This is the same man who wasted his chance as NALDA boss and became a laughing stock across Nigeria for distributing rabbits as empowerment. Till today, Nigerians only remember him as “Mr Rabbit,” a man who could not think beyond cages and grass. That is his only legacy. Now this same failure wants to attack Dr Alex Otti, OFR, a Governor who is turning Abia around after years of destruction caused by…

How Governor Otti’s Evening Markets Will Power The Velocity Of Money In ABIA – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

How Governor Otti’s Evening Markets Will Power the Velocity of Money in Abia By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD When Governor Alex Chioma Otti announced during the September edition of “Governor Otti Speaks to Abia” that construction of sixty eight evening markets would commence the following week, it was more than just another policy pronouncement. It was a carefully designed step to deepen Abia’s ongoing transformation and extend the dividends of governance to the grassroots. The decision to build four evening markets in each of the seventeen local government areas reflects a vision that deliberately prioritizes rural development and aligns with the…
