Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Enough of This Otti Obsession! Labour Party’s Cult of Personality is Strangling Abia! A Dimly Lit Backroom in UmuahiaTwo shadowy figures, Chief Ebuka (a disgruntled PDP stalwart) and Hon. Nkem (a defected LP legislator), huddle over bitter palm wine, their voices dripping with acrimony. Chief Ebuka: (slamming his glass) “This ‘Otti Messiah’ nonsense! Since when did Abia become a one-man shrine? Roads? Schools? Empty slogans! The man’s a dictator in agbada—even his own LP members whisper about his ‘my way or no way’ decrees!” Hon. Nkem: (leaning in, conspiratorial) “You think this ‘steady guide’ cares about party structures? Please! That…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Abia 2027: When the Vultures Gather, the Eagle Flies Higher By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (A Concerned Abian and Public Affairs Analyst) Upon reading a news item titled "Abia 2027: Ukwa-Ngwa Leaders of Old Aba Division Beckon Deputy Speaker, Kalu to Run for Governor," I couldn't help but burst into laughter. The reason for my amusement was the list of individuals championing this sinister political move. Names like Godwin Nna, Don Ubani, and Uzo Azubuike are hardly synonymous with credibility. And Hon. Benjamin Kalu, seemingly pleased with their endorsement, promised them that he and APC would deliver in 2027. Let's be…

A Critical Exegesis Of Orji Uzor Kalu’s Governance And The Paradox Of Progress In ABIA State: A 24-Year Dialectic – By Dr. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance
A Critical Exegesis of Orji Uzor Kalu’s Governance and the Paradox of Progress in Abia State: A 24-Year Dialectic The governance trajectory of Abia State, Nigeria, over the past two decades, presents a labyrinthine tableau of political machinations, developmental aspirations, and socio-economic contradictions. Central to this discourse is the tenureship of Orji Uzor Kalu (1999–2007), whose administration, often lauded for its populist rhetoric, now demands a rigorous deconstruction vis-à-vis the purported strides of subsequent regimes, particularly the current administration’s hyperbolic claims of transformative progress. This analysis eschews partisan allegiances, instead interrogating the ontological efficacy of leadership through a prism of…
