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’s Achievements Cannot Be Erased By Ultimatum: Kalu Kalu Must Respect Arise News Independence- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

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…

Signature Bank: Produce The Evidence, Stop Campaigning With Conclusions- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance

SIGNATURE BANK: PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE, STOP CAMPAIGNING WITH CONCLUSIONS This argument is defective at its foundation: it presents an allegation, assumes the missing evidence, and announces a verdict. You cite a CAC status report without presenting it, its date, the shareholding figures or the ownership structure. Then you leap from alleged share ownership to the sweeping claim that “all Abia State contracts and payments” are directed to Signature Bank. A corporate ownership record cannot establish where government funds are deposited or how contracts are paid. Where is the circular compelling contractors to use Signature Bank? Where are the treasury records,…

Entertainment

OTTI, ABIA TEACHERS AND THE NEW DEAL FOR EDUCATION By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Governor Alex Chioma Otti’s decision to approve a N1 billion special allowance for teachers on the 2026 Teachers’ Day may have been the headline-grabbing moment, but the bigger story lies in what the gesture says about the place of education in his administration’s development strategy. In one announcement, Governor Otti combined immediate financial recognition with commitments to resolve salary and promotion issues, expand professional training, deploy technology to classrooms and improve the physical condition of public schools. Taken together, these measures point to something larger than a…
