Straight From The Heart: The Antagonists Of The New Abia – By Dave Uma

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
THE ANTAGONISTS OF ABIA POLITICS. The Antagonists of Abia politics are those who lost hold of power in ABIA, and still rue over such loss. They are hell bent in ruining the efforts of the present administration clandestinely or by whatever means possible.

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Preempting Governor Otti’s Mayors. By Godwin Adindu Governor Alex Otti has chosen a name for the incoming headship of the Local Government administration. He called them MAYORS and then leaked part of the profile of the expected MAYORS.
