2027: NDC, APC Trade Words As Opposition Party Zones Presidential Ticket To South

2027: NDC, APC Trade Words As Opposition Party Zones Presidential Ticket To South

2027: NDC, APC Trade Words As Opposition Party Zones Presidential Ticket To South The Nigerian Democratic Congress and the ruling All Progressives Congress traded words on Saturday after the NDC zoned its presidential ticket for the 2027 general elections to the South, a move widely seen as a deliberate attempt to weaken incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027. The decision, reached during the NDC National Convention in Abuja, also introduced a proposed single four-year term arrangement for the party’s eventual presidential candidate, with an agreement that the ticket would automatically return to the North in 2031.

The People Are The Report Card: Otti’s Grassroots Governance Model – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Security First, Prosperity Becomes Possible: Otti’s Foundation For A Working Abia – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Security First, Prosperity Becomes Possible: Otti’s Foundation For A Working Abia – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

SECURITY FIRST: OTTI’S FOUNDATION FOR A WORKING ABIA There is one truth every serious leader understands: no state can develop in an atmosphere of fear. Roads are important. Power is important. Schools are important. Hospitals are important. Markets are important. But none of them can function properly where insecurity is allowed to dominate the environment.That is why Governor Alex Otti’s renewed emphasis on security is not just another government statement. It is a serious governance philosophy. Otti understands that security is not merely about guns, checkpoints, uniforms and patrol vans. Security is the foundation upon which investment, education, commerce, tourism,…

Aba Has Shown The Future: Why Abia’s Private-Sector Power Model Is More Efficient, More Practical And More Sustainable- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

ABA HAS SHOWN THE FUTURE: WHY ABIA’S PRIVATE-SECTOR POWER MODEL IS MORE EFFICIENT, MORE PRACTICAL AND MORE SUSTAINABLE Let us begin with fairness.Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State deserves commendation. His plan for a 660MW coal-fired power plant, an AI Institute, a technology incubation centre, improved security architecture, one-stop investment shop and stronger private-sector engagement shows ambition.No serious person should mock a governor for thinking big.So, yes:Hail Mbah for ambition.Hail Mbah for seeing that electricity is the foundation of industrialisation.Hail Mbah for understanding that no state can grow without power.But after giving Enugu its flowers, we must now compare the…

The Abia Argument: Performance Is Stronger Than Political Noise – Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Abia Argument: Performance Is Stronger Than Political Noise – Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

THE ABIA ARGUMENT: PERFORMANCE IS STRONGER THAN POLITICAL NOISE The strongest defence of Abia State today is simple: even if the Accord Party endorsement is disputed, Governor Alex Otti’s performance does not depend on that endorsement. A political endorsement can be argued, disowned, challenged or litigated; but roads, schools, salaries, power, fiscal discipline and private-sector confidence are physical and measurable. On the Accord matter, the fairest position is this: there is clearly a leadership dispute inside Accord Party. Channels TV reported in April 2026 that both Christopher Imumolen and Maxwell Mgbudem were laying claim to the Accord national chairmanship, while…

They Gathered In ADC For What Looked Like A Communion, And Obi Outsmarted All – Wike Blasts Rotimi Amaechi

They Gathered In ADC For What Looked Like A Communion, And Obi Outsmarted All – Wike Blasts Rotimi Amaechi

Wike Blasts Rotimi Amaechi “Again, I have to remind Rotimi Amaechi of reality. He is now a shadow of himself.He was once a governor—I defeated him from outside. He became a minister and was treated like a son to Muhammadu Buhari. Even with the backing of almost all the battalions in the Army, I still defeated him in my second term. I singlehandedly installed the same boy misbehaving today as governor—and still, Amaechi could do nothing. NOTHING. And now that I am the leader of APC, PDP, ADC—and everything politics in Rivers—he wants to talk? He should go and rest.…

Abia Pension Reforms: Setting The Record Straight- By Ambassador Dr. Osita Offor (De Ultimate Commander)

Abia Pension Reforms: Setting the Record Straight - By Ambassador Dr. Osita Offor (De Ultimate Commander) The ongoing conversation around pensions in Abia State has once again drawn public attention, but it is important that this discussion is anchored on truth, context, and a sincere understanding of history. Much of what is being said today ignores the depth of the crisis that existed long before the emergence of Governor Alex Chioma Otti as Governor. For years, Abia’s pension system was a tragic example of neglect and systemic collapse. Retirees who had given their productive years to the service of the…
