Hon. Uko Nkole For Senate 2027: Integrity Is Not Only A Slogan But His Lifestyle – Dave Uma Writes From Abuja

Hon. Uko Nkole For Senate 2027: Integrity Is Not Only A Slogan But His Lifestyle – Dave Uma Writes From Abuja

Abia North, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
Hon. Uko Nkole For Senate 2027 – Integrity Is The Watchword Integrity is not a slogan. It is a lifestyle. Integrity is the foundation of effective leadership. In simple terms, it means building trust through strong ethical values and sound moral principles. It is often said that politicians have no morals. However, there are exceptions to every rule, and Hon. Uko Nkole is a distinct exception. For the two terms Hon. Uko Nkole served the Aro/Ohafia Federal Constituency, he did so with efficacy and munificence, leaving behind a record his supporters describe as flawless. He served without blemish. He was…

Charles Ogbonna: The Tragedy Of Folly In Old Age – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Charles Ogbonna: The Tragedy Of Folly In Old Age – By Ebere Uzoukwa, Ph.D (SSA To Governor Otti On Public Affairs)

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
CHARLES OGBONNA: THE TRAGEDY OF FOLLY IN OLD AGE Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Charles Ogbonna appears determined to turn his personal political frustrations into a campaign of tribal division in Abia State. His recent allegation that Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, privately told him that “Ndi Ngwa enwegi brain”, meaning that Ngwa people lack wisdom, is not only grave but deeply irresponsible, especially coming from a man who ought to know better. If Ogbonna truly believes Governor Otti made such a statement, he should produce the evidence. The burden of proof lies with the person making the allegation. A purported private…

President Tinubu: The Absentee President That Will Be Missing At The Soapbox…

President Tinubu: The Absentee President That Will Be Missing At The Soapbox…

Politics
Two days ago the All Progressive Congress inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council for the 2027 General Elections, and shamelessly the Absentee President who has spent more than 20% of his near 3 years and half in power overseas, told the gathering and indeed Nigerians that he will not be on the campaign train, that he will be dedicating his time to governance while the Campaign Council criss-crosses the Country on his behalf. One thing the President and his Party failed to admit is the fact that he is too old, too tired, too feeble and too weak for the rigors…

SENATE ABIA NORTH 2027: Beyond Rhetorics; The Quintessential Uko Nkole Is End Of The Discussion

SENATE ABIA NORTH 2027: Beyond Rhetorics; The Quintessential Uko Nkole Is End Of The Discussion

Abia North, Personality, Politics
SENATE ABIA NORTH 2027: BEYOND RHETORICS; THE QUINTESSENTIAL UKO NKOLE IS END OF THE DISCUSSION We , currently, have in our hands the season of politicking. Such seasons bring forth all manner of characters that project themselves in diverse colorations just to sway support for themselves from their people. We have a pot-pouri of established , not-so established and green-horn politicians. But discerning minds should be able to seperate the mix. There is incumbency. But what has Abia North got to show for it beyond defending Northern agenda? The few pedestrian dividends of demo racy supposedly attracted by the incumbency…

Eke O. Ako, The Tagging Marathon And The Facts About Abia Gratuities – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Eke O. Ako, The Tagging Marathon And The Facts About Abia Gratuities – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Good Governance, Politics
EKE O. AKO, THE TAGGING MARATHON AND THE FACTS ABOUT ABIA GRATUITIES Before getting to the figures, one has to admire the sheer ambition of Eke O. Ako’s distribution list. In one Facebook post, he summoned Punch Newspapers, Channels Television, the World Bank, UNESCO, Peter Obi, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the UK, Amnesty International, the European Union, Sahara Reporters, Arise News, Linda Ikeji — and, for good measure, Basketmouth and P-Square. At that point, one begins to wonder whether the gratuity matter was headed for the Accountant-General’s office or the United Nations General Assembly. The tagging was equally…

Nnenna Otti Bus Terminal: ADC Should Get Its Facts And The Law Right – By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

Abia State, Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
NNENNA OTI BUS TERMINAL: ADC SHOULD GET ITS FACTS AND THE LAW RIGHT 😆😂🫣 Honestly, election fever truly brings out a lot of 'charismatic' mood swings like the statement alleging that the construction and operation of the Nnenna Oti Central Bus Terminal, Umuahia, is unconstitutional and demanding that the facility be handed over to Umuahia North Local Government Council. ADC, wereee nwayo!!! Anyway sha ooooo, while political parties are entitled to express opinions on matters of public interest, constitutional provisions should not be quoted selectively or interpreted in a manner that creates conclusions which the Constitution itself does not expressly…

‘My Wife Has Her Own Money, So What Is My Business If She Buys Expensive Items With Her Money? The Bags And Shoes My Wife Wear, I don’t Even Know How Much They Cost’ – Peter Obi

‘My Wife Has Her Own Money, So What Is My Business If She Buys Expensive Items With Her Money? The Bags And Shoes My Wife Wear, I don’t Even Know How Much They Cost’ – Peter Obi

Personality, Politics, Presidency
My wife has her own business and her own money, so what is my business if she buys expensive items with her money? The bags and shoes my wife wears, i don’t even know how much they cost. Infact, she is actually a bit less sophisticated now. She used to be far more sophisticated before I became governor. I’m managing public money, and as long as she lives her own life without interfering with my management of public funds, good luck to her. I didn’t even have an Office of the First Lady while I was governor. I don’t celebrate…

The 2027 Re-Election Question: Can Tinubu Defy The Odds? – By Charles Ude, Esq (Legal Practitioner And Author)

Columns/Opinions/Letters, Politics
The 2027 Re-election Question: Can Tinubu Defy the Odds? Charles Ude, Esq.Legal Practitioner and Authorcharlesude2014@gmail.com Introduction Nigeria is a country of two stories. Read the papers and you will see growth, rising revenues, new roads. Walk the streets and you will meet a different country, the trader counting coins for bread, the graduate sending CVs into silence, the mother stretching one pot of soup to feed five children. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sits right in the middle of this contradiction. His people say he is the surgeon who arrived when the patient was dying and made the cuts nobody else…
