Alex Otti And The New Grammar Of Money: How ABIA State Is Rewriting Skidelsky’s Political Economy – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Alex Otti And The New Grammar Of Money: How ABIA State Is Rewriting Skidelsky’s Political Economy – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Alex Otti and the New Grammar of Money: How Abia State Is Rewriting Skidelsky’s Political Economy When Robert Skidelsky wrote Money and Government, he was lamenting a world that had forgotten the moral purpose of economics — a world that treated markets as gods and governments as beggars.In faraway Abia, Governor Alex Otti seems to have taken that lament as a challenge. From the shattered books of a debt-ridden treasury, Otti has begun scripting a new grammar of governance — one that reads like a live translation of Skidelsky’s theory into Nigerian reality. In this new narrative, money is not…

Otti’s Rising Abia And The Desperate Cries Of The Children Of Baal – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Otti’s Rising Abia And The Desperate Cries Of The Children Of Baal – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Otti’s Rising Abia and the Desperate Cries of the Children of Baal By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD In the Bible, the children of Baal were known for their stubbornness, deceit, and resistance to truth. They clung to false altars and fought bitterly against righteousness until divine judgment silenced them. That same spirit seems to have resurfaced in today’s Abia, embodied by those who spread lies, blackmail, and propaganda against Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR. Like their biblical counterparts, they rage not because of injustice, but because truth and light have displaced their long reign of darkness, deceit, and corruption. Their lamentations…

A Jurisprudential Anatomization Of Political Atavism – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

A Jurisprudential Anatomization Of Political Atavism – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

A Jurisprudential Anatomization of Political Atavism The cacophony emanating from the purveyors of yesterday’s malaise, those erstwhile lords of our collective patrimony, constitutes a veritable symphony of intellectual bankruptcy. Their dissenting murmurs against the Otti administration, founded on the quicksand of spurious allegations regarding fiscal management, have been rendered not merely obsolete but judicially preposterous by the recent encomiums from the European Union and UNICEF. These global arbiters of probity have undertaken a forensic audit of Abia's budgeting ethos and returned a verdict of res ipsa loquitur—the thing speaks for itself. While the opposition engages in a pre-Socratic level of…

2027: Dangote-Otti Presidential Ticket Will Rescue Nigeria – APC Chieftain

2027: Dangote–Otti Presidential Ticket Will Rescue Nigeria – APC Chieftain A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governorship candidate in Kebbi State, Mallam Salihu Isa Nataro, has urged Nigerians to consider a potential presidential ticket pairing Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, with Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, as a pathway to restoring economic stability and driving industrial growth ahead of the 2027 elections. Speaking in Abuja on Sunday, Nataro said a Dangote–Otti ticket would provide the kind of economic leadership needed to tackle unemployment, reduce poverty, and promote nationwide industrialisation. According to him, both men…

The Otti Ledger: Balancing Abia’s Political Books For A 2031 Reckoning – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Otti Ledger: Balancing Abia’s Political Books For A 2031 Reckoning – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Otti Ledger: Balancing Abia's Political Books for a 2031 Reckoning A consideration of the political trajectory of Abia State towards the year 2031 necessitates a dispassionate analysis of its prevailing economic and political currents, viewed through a philosophical lens that transcends the immediate fray of partisan contention. The present administration of Dr. Alex Otti provides a critical fulcrum upon which this future will pivot, not merely for its policy directives but for the underlying philosophical shift it represents. To prognosticate the landscape of 2031 is to engage with the dialectic between entrenched political traditions and an incipient technocratic idealism.…

The Ontological Scission: Otti’s Governance As An Existential Rupture In Abia’s Political Consciousness – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Ontological Scission: Otti’s Governance As An Existential Rupture In Abia’s Political Consciousness – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Ontological Scission: Otti’s Governance as an Existential Rupture in Abia’s Political Consciousness The recent political theatrics surrounding President Tinubu's passage through Abia have revealed far more than a mere protocol disagreement; they have unveiled a fundamental schism in the very conception of power. What the myopic opposition celebrates as a "snub" is, in the grand theatre of being, a profound ontological event—a moment where the simulacrum of power was decisively unmasked by its authentic counterpart. The Spectacle of Power Versus the Power of Substance For decades, the political lexicon in Abia was predicated on a hollow phenomenology. Governance was…

The so-called "snub" of Governor Alex Otti by President…

Why Commissioning PortHarcourt And Other Roads In ABA Goes Beyond A Presidential Visit – By Dr. Engr. Odo Ijere (Okpotemba)

WHY COMMISSIONING PORTHARCOURT AND OTHER ROADS IN ABA GOES BEYOND A PRESIDENTIAL VISIT. By Dr. Engr. Odo Ijere While it is yet unclear whether President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will honor today's invitation to come and commission the Portharcourt and other roads projects completed by Governor Alex Otti, it must be said that the several attempts made by Governor Alex Otti to bring the President to Abia soil to commission the long completed 6.3km Portharcourt road is first and foremost an acknowledgement of the fact that the Tinubu government granted its permission for the Alex Otti government to work on the…
