It Came To Pass: The Politics Of Coalition, Defection And The Otti Factor In Abia- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

IT CAME TO PASSTHE POLITICS OF COALITION, DEFECTION AND THE OTTI FACTOR IN ABIA By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke25 October 2026 In politics, as in life, time has a peculiar way of exposing the difference between noise and substance, between political calculations and public confidence, and between those who merely seek power and those who demonstrate the capacity to exercise it responsibly. I have followed the unfolding political developments in Abia State with considerable interest. I have listened to the declarations, examined the alignments, observed the defections and reflected on the increasingly desperate struggle to define the political future of…

I DO NOT TRUST ABDUL EL-SAYED: POLITICAL PROMISES, THE KENNEDY COMPARISON AND THE QUESTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL LOYALTY By AProf Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeOctober 21, 2026 I believe political trust must be earned through a consistent record, not demanded through campaign speeches. My scepticism of Abdul El-Sayed begins with that principle. I do not regard his public assurances as sufficient grounds for confidence in his political judgment. Nor am I persuaded that invoking John F. Kennedy settles the questions surrounding his record. KENNEDY'S NAME IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR EVIDENCE On September 12, 1960, President-to-be John F. Kennedy addressed concerns about whether…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
THE OPPOSITION'S MAGIC WAND: WHY THEY EXPECT OTTI TO FIX DECADES OF DECAY OVERNIGHT By Pastor AProf. Chukwuemeka Ifegwu EkeWednesday, October 21, 2026 I have read the latest attacks on Governor Alex Chioma Otti over the condition of public schools in Abia State. I consider the concerns about dilapidated classrooms serious, but I reject the attempt to present one deteriorating school as proof that the entire education reform programme has failed. I will confront this argument with facts, dates, records and the responsibilities that come with governing a state burdened by years of infrastructural neglect. On October 21, 2026, Theo…

Obinna Oriaku: Between Political Exaggeration, Selective Memory And The Realities Of A Changing Abia – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
OBINNA ORIAKU: BETWEEN POLITICAL EXAGGERATION, SELECTIVE MEMORY AND THE REALITIES OF A CHANGING ABIA 19 October 2026 Obinna Oriaku, I have carefully read your series of messages, and I must confess that I am more concerned about the intellectual contradictions in your submissions than the political anger that appears to have inspired them. I have always believed that criticism is an indispensable ingredient of democracy. I do not expect Governor Alex Otti to be beyond criticism, and I certainly do not believe that every road in Abia has been reconstructed, every hospital rehabilitated or every economic difficulty eliminated. But I…
