414 Roads, 864.12km Of Proof: Otti Is Turning Abia’s Development Debate From Social Media Noise To Visible Performance- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
414 ROADS, 864.12KM OF PROOF: OTTI IS TURNING ABIA’S DEVELOPMENT DEBATE FROM SOCIAL MEDIA NOISE TO VISIBLE PERFORMANCE There is a point at which propaganda becomes tired. There is a point at which political bitterness loses its entertainment value. There is a point at which people who have made a career out of shouting “nothing is happening” must either open their eyes, leave their keyboards and inspect what is happening around them, or accept that they are no longer critics of government but prisoners of their own resentment. That point has arrived in Abia State. Governor Alex Otti has placed…

Abure’s Claims, Otti’s Restraint And The Difference Between Reconciliation And Surrender- By Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
ABURE’S CLAIMS, OTTI’S RESTRAINT AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RECONCILIATION AND SURRENDER There is a simple rule in serious public reasoning: an allegation is not automatically a fact merely because it is repeated in a headline. What has been reported is that Mr. Julius Abure claimed that, during a reconciliation discussion with Governor Alex Otti, proposals were presented concerning positions within the Labour Party and elective opportunities in Abia and elsewhere. He also claimed that Governor Otti declined those proposals and allegedly mentioned positions within the Board of Trustees. That is Abure’s narration of a private meeting. It deserves to be…
