Columns/Opinions/Letters, National Assembly, Politics
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW AND REJOINDER BY SENATOR (PRINCE) NED NWOKO ON THE SENATE VS. SENATOR NATASHA MATTER Defending the Senate’s Integrity Against Emotional Manipulation and Misrepresentation Distinguished Nigerians, It is important that we separate facts from sensationalism and resist the growing trend of exploiting gender sentiments to mask disorderly conduct within the Senate.

Abia State, under Governor Alex Otti, is no longer a mere geographic entity but a living testament to the interplay of philosophy and action.
