Emotions Aside; Facts, History, Constitutional Realities Surrounding Nnamdi Kanu’s Case – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

My brother, let us put emotions aside and sit with the facts, history, and constitutional realities surrounding Nnamdi Kanu’s case. Leadership is not always loud.

Justice, Power, And The Moral Collapse Of Selective Leadership- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

JUSTICE, POWER, AND THE MORAL COLLAPSE OF SELECTIVE LEADERSHIP The life sentence delivered against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by Justice Omotoso stands today as one of the most contested judicial decisions in the history of Nigeria’s Fourth Republic. Not merely for what was decided, but for what it exposes: the hypocrisy of power, the selective vibrations of political morality, and the collapse of leadership where it is most needed.
