Venezuela: Nigeria’s Silence Is Shameful, Unworthy Of Africa’s Leading Nation – ADC

Venezuela: Nigeria’s Silence Is Shameful, Unworthy Of Africa’s Leading Nation — ADC The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the Nigerian government for remaining silent on the recent US military operation in Venezuela, which saw the capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, raised the concern during an interview on Politics Today on Channels Television. According to Abdullahi, Nigeria has lost its standing as a principled voice in Africa and West Africa. He said the crisis in Venezuela represents a defining moment with significant global implications, yet Nigeria has remained…

The Silent War Of 2026: Data, Courts, And Election Infrastructure- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Silent War Of 2026: Data, Courts, And Election Infrastructure- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

The Silent War of 2026: Data, Courts, and Election Infrastructure The most decisive battles of the 2026–2027 electoral cycle will not be fought on stages, rallies, or social media timelines. They will be fought quietly—in databases, courtrooms, server rooms, and evidentiary files. This is the silent war many political movements underestimate, and it is where elections are now truly won or lost.Across Nigeria, electoral outcomes are increasingly shaped by three invisible pillars: data integrity, judicial preparedness, and election infrastructure. Noise mobilises crowds; systems secure mandates. Any movement that ignores this reality is preparing to lose loudly.Governor Alex Chioma Otti OFR…

Noise Vs Evidence: Why Abia’s 2027 Battle Won’t Be Won In The Theatre Of Insults – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Noise Vs Evidence: Why Abia’s 2027 Battle Won’t Be Won In The Theatre Of Insults – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Noise vs Evidence: Why Abia's 2027 Battle Won't Be Won in the Theatre of Insults It seems to me that Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu and Senator Orji Uzor Kalu have lately taken turns in a familiar sport: provoking Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, with maximal rhetoric and minimal documentation—then calling his replies “gutter politics” when he refuses to be intimidated by their theatre. The method is predictable: inflate claims, attach big numbers, provide no primary records, and hope the public confuses loudness for proof.Start with the easiest lie to puncture: the insinuation that Abia under Otti is “all propaganda” and…

Orji Kalu: When Insatiable Political Ambition Overshadows Statesmanship- By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Orji Kalu: When Insatiable Political Ambition Overshadows Statesmanship- By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Orji Kalu: When Insatiable Political Ambition Overshadows Statesmanship Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Senator Orji Uzor Kalu’s recent declaration that Abia will be APC in 2027, coupled with his emphatic insistence that he would actively work against the re-election of Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, despite professing personal friendship, is not only reckless but deeply revealing. It exposes a troubling contradiction between unrestrained political ambition and the standards of statesmanship expected of a former governor and serving senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. On the surface, the statement is framed as an expression of party loyalty. In substance, however, it reflects…

From Caracas To The Ballot Box: What Global Power Shifts Teach Nigeria About Winning 2027 Fairly – By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

From Caracas to the Ballot Box: What Global Power Shifts Teach Nigeria About Winning 2027 Fairly The recent upheaval in Venezuela has become a global case study in how modern politics actually turns—not through slogans or sudden miracles, but through patient preparation, citizen verification, legal framing, and geopolitical timing. For movements watching closely, including Nigeria’s reform-minded constituencies and supporters of Governor Alex Chioma Otti, the lesson is not to copy another country’s drama, but to understand the architecture behind credible change.In Venezuela, years of documentation reframed a sitting ruler from “incumbent” to “answerable.” Ordinary citizens built an evidence trail—polling-unit records,…

Gov.  Alex Otti And DSP Benjamin Kalu: When Politics Becomes  Sport, And Governance Becomes The Scorecard- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Gov. Alex Otti And DSP Benjamin Kalu: When Politics Becomes Sport, And Governance Becomes The Scorecard- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

GOV. ALEX OTTI AND DSP BENJAMIN KALU: WHEN POLITICS BECOMES SPORT, AND GOVERNANCE BECOMES THE SCORECARD If politics were a competitive sport in Abia today, Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu appears to have chosen a single favourite event: bashing Governor Alex Otti. Week after week, interview after interview, press line after press line, the fixation is unmistakable. Not policy alternatives. Not competing development blueprints. Not verifiable achievements on Abia soil. Just relentless shadowboxing with a governor who is already in office and already delivering—however imperfectly—within the full glare of public scrutiny.That obsession is politically revealing. Serious contenders build parallel records; unserious…
