Enough of This Otti Obsession! Labour Party’s Cult of Personality is Strangling Abia! A Dimly Lit Backroom in UmuahiaTwo shadowy figures, Chief Ebuka (a disgruntled PDP stalwart) and Hon. Nkem (a defected LP legislator), huddle over bitter palm wine, their voices dripping with acrimony. Chief Ebuka: (slamming his glass) “This ‘Otti Messiah’ nonsense! Since when did Abia become a one-man shrine? Roads? Schools? Empty slogans! The man’s a dictator in agbada—even his own LP members whisper about his ‘my way or no way’ decrees!” Hon. Nkem: (leaning in, conspiratorial) “You think this ‘steady guide’ cares about party structures? Please! That…

Abia 2027: When The Vultures Gather, The Eagle Flies Higher – By Ebere Uzoukwa Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Abia 2027: When the Vultures Gather, the Eagle Flies Higher By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (A Concerned Abian and Public Affairs Analyst) Upon reading a news item titled "Abia 2027: Ukwa-Ngwa Leaders of Old Aba Division Beckon Deputy Speaker, Kalu to Run for Governor," I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
