Tinubu’s Handshake Across The Continental Shelf, Another Mistake Of History- By Dr. Engr. Odo Ijere(Okpotemba)

Tinubu’s Handshake Across The Continental Shelf, Another Mistake Of History- By Dr. Engr. Odo Ijere(Okpotemba)

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
TINUBU'S HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL SHELF, ANOTHER MISTAKE OF HISTORY. The recent meeting of the southwest and Southsouth regions of the country convened at the instance of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ogun state government house is another revisionist effort to isolate the Igbo southeast region geographically situated at the very heart of southern Nigeria. It is perhaps a lameduck approach to implement the decade-long policies of Igbo encyclement or what late Buhari had mocked as a dot in the circle. For those who still pretend not to know, Igboland is located at the epicenter of the geographical expression of what…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
THIS IS NOT ACCOUNTABILITY; IT IS A POLITICAL GIMMICK A short flood video cannot prove that “all Abia roads are dilapidated” or that ₦1.8 trillion is “gone.” The post provides no audited account, budget analysis, project list, engineering report, rainfall data, exact location history or evidence linking the flooding directly to government expenditure. It simply combines: one flooded location an unexplained ₦1.8 trillion figure a sweeping attack on every road in Abia That is propaganda by exaggeration. Flooding at Ovom Road deserves urgent inspection, drainage clearance and corrective action. But responsible criticism must identify the exact road, contractor, project status,…
