PRESS RELEASE:Learning Without Character Is Equal To Zero The attention of Atiku Media Office has been drawn to yet another emotional outburst disguised as a press statement from the camp of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike, issued by his aide, Lere Olayinka. While we understand that bitterness often finds expression in misplaced aggression, we must remind Mr. Wike and his team that a bitter heart isn’t capable of charity, nor does it inspire unity, healing, or truth. Once again, facts have been twisted in a desperate attempt to rewrite history. Mr. Wike, through his spokesperson,…

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
Legal Analysis of Governor Otti’s Activities: A Week of Fiduciary Vigilance and Public Trust Governor Alex Otti’s recent undertakings exemplify the legal doctrine of parens patriae—the state’s duty to act as a protector of its citizens’ welfare. His unscheduled visit to Abia State University (ABSU) constituted an exercise of due diligence under administrative law, exposing systemic neglect and triggering mandamus directives to compel infrastructural remediation.

Similarly, his approval of decade-withheld staff promotions at Dr.…

For years, they gorged on state resources, auctioning projects to the highest bidter, signing phantom deals in backrooms reeking of whiskey and moral decay. They ignored their mandates, abandoned constituents to dust and darkness, and treated governance like a personal ATM—withdrawing prestige, depositing nothing. And now? When their snouts are yanked from…
