Let The Facts Speak: Ememanka Asked Questions- Answer Them, Don’t Abuse Him – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Let The Facts Speak: Ememanka Asked Questions- Answer Them, Don’t Abuse Him – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
EMEMANKA ASKED QUESTIONS — ANSWER THEM, DON’T ABUSE HIM The attempt to ridicule Onyebuchi Ememanka for raising questions about the emerging political rhetoric in Abia misses the real issue. If his argument is wrong, answer it with facts. Calling him names does not invalidate the questions he raised. More importantly, the suggestion that Governor Alex Otti has somehow neglected or shown hostility toward Ngwa communities is difficult to reconcile with the documented project record. Under Otti, the government has commissioned and undertaken major infrastructure projects in Aba and the wider Ngwa axis. In June 2025 alone, 14 roads were commissioned…

Hon. Uko Nkole For Senate 2027: Integrity Is Not Only A Slogan But His Lifestyle – Dave Uma Writes From Abuja

Hon. Uko Nkole For Senate 2027: Integrity Is Not Only A Slogan But His Lifestyle – Dave Uma Writes From Abuja

Abia North, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
Hon. Uko Nkole For Senate 2027 – Integrity Is The Watchword Integrity is not a slogan. It is a lifestyle. Integrity is the foundation of effective leadership. In simple terms, it means building trust through strong ethical values and sound moral principles. It is often said that politicians have no morals. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and Hon. Uko Nkole is a distinct exception. For the two terms Hon. Uko Nkole served the Aro/Ohafia Federal Constituency, he did so with efficacy and munificence, leaving behind a record his supporters describe as flawless. He served without blemish. He was…

Charles Ogbonna: The Tragedy Of Folly In Old Age – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
CHARLES OGBONNA: THE TRAGEDY OF FOLLY IN OLD AGE Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Charles Ogbonna appears determined to turn his personal political frustrations into a campaign of tribal division in Abia State. His recent allegation that Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, privately told him that “Ndi Ngwa enwegi brain”, meaning that Ngwa people lack wisdom, is not only grave but deeply irresponsible, especially coming from a man who ought to know better. If Ogbonna truly believes Governor Otti made such a statement, he should produce the evidence. The burden of proof lies with the person making the allegation. A purported private…

SENATE ABIA NORTH 2027: Beyond Rhetorics; The Quintessential Uko Nkole Is End Of The Discussion

Abia North, Personality, Politics
SENATE ABIA NORTH 2027: BEYOND RHETORICS; THE QUINTESSENTIAL UKO NKOLE IS END OF THE DISCUSSION We , currently, have in our hands the season of politicking. Such seasons bring forth all manner of characters that project themselves in diverse colorations just to sway support for themselves from their people. We have a pot-pouri of established , not-so established and green-horn politicians. But discerning minds should be able to seperate the mix. There is incumbency. But what has Abia North got to show for it beyond defending Northern agenda? The few pedestrian dividends of demo racy supposedly attracted by the incumbency…

Eke O. Ako, The Tagging Marathon And The Facts About Abia Gratuities – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
EKE O. AKO, THE TAGGING MARATHON AND THE FACTS ABOUT ABIA GRATUITIES Before getting to the figures, one has to admire the sheer ambition of Eke O. Ako’s distribution list. In one Facebook post, he summoned Punch Newspapers, Channels Television, the World Bank, UNESCO, Peter Obi, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the UK, Amnesty International, the European Union, Sahara Reporters, Arise News, Linda Ikeji — and, for good measure, Basketmouth and P-Square. At that point, one begins to wonder whether the gratuity matter was headed for the Accountant-General’s office or the United Nations General Assembly. The tagging was equally…
