Columns/Opinions/Letters, Abia North, Politics

WHY ABIA NORTH SHOULD REJECT SENATOR ORJI UZOR KALU THIRD TERM AGENDA. By: Comr. Ahamefula Kalu Aki. A long political career marked by highs and lows.

You, who presided over the financial carnage of Abia as its worst Exchequer in history, now dare to lecture on fiscal responsibility? The sheer audacity is only matched by your staggering hypocrisy. You are like a arsonist who sets a house ablaze and then arrives with a thimble…
