Abia APC’s Comedy Of Contradictions: When Otti Works With Tinubu, They Cry; When He Remains In Labour Party, They Cry Again- By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia APC’s Comedy Of Contradictions: When Otti Works With Tinubu, They Cry; When He Remains In Labour Party, They Cry Again- By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

ABIA APC’S COMEDY OF CONTRADICTIONS: WHEN OTTI WORKS WITH TINUBU, THEY CRY; WHEN HE REMAINS IN LABOUR PARTY, THEY CRY AGAIN There is something increasingly comical about the politics of the Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress.When Governor Alex Otti collaborates with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government to attract projects to Abia, they accuse him of trying to take credit for President Tinubu’s achievements.When he publicly acknowledges the Federal Government, they complain that he has not gone far enough.When he maintains his membership of the Labour Party, they accuse him of political deception.Now they want…

UCHE AGUORU’S LENGTHY TIRADE COLLAPSES UNDER BASIC ECONOMIC SCRUTINY — BY PASTOR PROF. CHUKWUEMEKA IFEGWU EKE

UCHE AGUORU’S LENGTHY TIRADE COLLAPSES UNDER BASIC ECONOMIC SCRUTINY — BY PASTOR PROF. CHUKWUEMEKA IFEGWU EKE

😂😂😂 Uche Aguoru has written a long article, but unfortunately, the economics inside it is limping like a badly inflated tyre. Title: “Governor Alex C. Otti, A Titleholder in Profligacy.” Very dramatic. But once you remove the insults, the argument collapses like wet akamu. 😂 Let us expose the lies systematically. The first fraud is the headline itself Calling Alex Otti “titleholder in profligacy” because of one Q3 table is not economics. It is political theatre. Development economics does not work by screenshot. Public finance does not work by WhatsApp anger. A budget implementation report is not a gossip sheet.…

APC, LP And The Politics  Of Selective Performance Tourism  In The South East – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

APC, LP And The Politics Of Selective Performance Tourism In The South East – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

APC, LP AND THE POLITICS OF SELECTIVE PERFORMANCE TOURISM IN THE SOUTH EAST Let us be honest: every political tour has its own bias. When a Presidential Media Team linked to the Renewed Hope family visits Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia, we must expect that the reading of performance will not be completely innocent. Ebonyi is APC. Enugu is increasingly friendly territory to the centre. Abia is LP, and whether anyone admits it or not, APC is watching Abia with serious political interest because Alex Otti remains one of LP’s strongest subnational symbols. So yes, bias is possible. Very possible. But…

OTTI: A Leader Whose Performance Speaks Louder Than Words – By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

OTTI: A Leader Whose Performance Speaks Louder Than Words – By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

OTTI: A Leader Whose Performance Speaks Louder Than Words By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD The recent tour of key Federal and State Government projects in Abia by the Renewed Hope Presidential Media Team has once again reinforced the truth that Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, is redefining governance through performance. In today's Abia, development is no longer a promise or a campaign slogan. It is a visible, measurable and undeniable reality. Led by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, and the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, the presidential…

OTTIMANIA MOVEMENT: Why Abians Are Rallying Behind Otti’s Second – Term Bid – Ambassador Osita Offor

Why Abians Are Rallying Behind Otti's Second-Term Bid - Ambassador Osita Offor As discussions about the future of Abia State gradually shift towards the 2027 governorship election, support for Governor Alex Chioma Otti's continued leadership is gaining momentum across various segments of the state. Many stakeholders, community leaders and grassroots groups have continued to point to the governor's developmental strides as justification for calls urging him to seek a second term in office. Among those championing this cause is Ambassador Dr. Osita Offor "De Ultimate Commander" (Ikenga Gburugburu of Ohafia Ancient Kingdom), who has remained a prominent advocate of continuity…

Anti – Otti Propaganda Has Now Entered Commercial Bus – By Pastor Prof.  Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Anti – Otti Propaganda Has Now Entered Commercial Bus – By Pastor Prof. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

ANTI-OTTI PROPAGANDA HAS NOW ENTERED COMMERCIAL BUS. So because one driver sits inside a bus and laments, Abia should cancel reform? Wonderful logic. Next, let one man sit inside a wheelbarrow and declare that road construction is anti-poor because wheelbarrow pushers may lose business. Then government should stop building roads. Biko, let us think small. Every reform has a transition pain, yes. But no serious society remains in chaos because some people are comfortable with disorder. Before now, motor parks were scattered everywhere, passengers were dragged like Christmas goats, touts taxed people without receipts, roads were blocked, and nobody knew…

2027: Why Atiku Picked Amaechi As Running Mate

2027: Why Atiku Picked Amaechi As Running Mate

2027: Why Atiku Picked Amaechi As Running Mate The presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has selected former Minister of Transportation Mr. Rotimi Amaechi as his running mate for the 2027 election. Sources close to the party indicate that Atiku made this decision after considering candidates from both the South-East and South-West regions. It appears that the choice of a candidate from the South-South was made after recognizing Amaechi’s extensive network as a former governor of Rivers State and a former minister in the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. This network…

Enyimba Garment Factory: When Propaganda Wears Factory Overall And Starts Shift Work – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

ENYIMBA GARMENT FACTORY: WHEN PROPAGANDA WEARS FACTORY OVERALL AND STARTS SHIFT WORK Oracle, biko shift small. Let facts breathe. That CV story is a figment of your imagination.

Don Norman: Let Opposition Remain Honorable And Arguments Face Facts – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Don Norman: Let Opposition Remain Honorable And Arguments Face Facts – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

My brother Don-Norman, nobody needs to manufacture enmity where your own public exchanges already show the pattern. At least three examples are there in the open. You publicly wrote against “sycophants” defending the Alex Otti-led government, accusing them of deceiving people. That already shows that the quarrel did not start today. In another public exchange, you used the language of “E-rats” and warned people off your page. So when you now say Otti supporters made you their enemy, people will ask: who first turned political disagreement into name-calling? As Abia ADC chairman, you have also publicly vowed to challenge and…

Made-In-Aba Does Not Need Empty Romance; It Needs Power, Standards, Capital Markets And Global Access – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Made-In-Aba Does Not Need Empty Romance; It Needs Power, Standards, Capital Markets And Global Access – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

MADE-IN-ABA DOES NOT NEED EMPTY ROMANCE. IT NEEDS POWER, STANDARDS, CAPITAL, MARKETS AND GLOBAL ACCESS. Let us lecture this argument properly. Nobody who understands Aba will ever talk down on Made-in-Aba manufacturers.Aba is not ordinary.Aba is genius.Aba is enterprise.Aba is survival converted into production.Aba is the city where a young man can start with a bench, a needle, a cutting table, a hammer, a machine, a customer, and a dream — and still build a business.So let us be clear from the beginning: Made-in-Aba deserves global promotion.But promotion without industrial support is noise.Promotion without power is hypocrisy.Promotion without standards is…
