Metro, Politics, Security, South EastMetro, Next Level, Nigeria, Opinion, Politics

He arguably comes across as the Governor with the best scorecard in 365 days. Ndi Enugu can attest to this truism. The Enugu space today tells lucid testimonies of the place of commitment, dedication, capacity and competency in transformational leadership. And such is the remarkable Story of Peter Mbah. I had a near 30 minutes private dialogue with His EXCELLENCY Peter Ndubuisi Mbah three days after he was sworn in as the Executive Governor of Enugu State in 2023.

Yahaya Bello, Hope for Nigeria amidst intrigues of 2023 – Opinion

Politics2023, Next Level, Nigeria, Opinion, Politics, Yahaya Bello

For the first time in the political history of Nigeria, especially under Democratic dispensations, 2023 has proven to be a year filled with intrigues, endless permutations, and prospects for possible solutions to the myriad of Nigeria's seemingly endless challenges. This reality of the time does not exist because Nigeria lacks capable hands to steer her affairs to greatness, but because the supposed capable hands had, either by an act of omission, commission or simply out of negligence and lackadaisical disposition overlooked the yearnings of the people. It is therefore not out of place to recently notice that this lucuma so…

Politics2023, All Progressives Congress, Next Level, Nigeria, Opinion, Politics, Yahaya Bello

There has been a massive hoopla in the public space about the 100million fixed by our great Party the All Progressive Congress APC as cost for the Presidential Nomination Form.

But does the Party not have the right to prune down the number of contestants/Aspirants?

By Dave Uma Are you aware that there are people who never believed or even imagined that certain things that had gone wrong in the past could still be changed for the better? Especially due to the conditional state of mind of an average electorate as a result of institutionalised maladministration that has forced the people to accept defeat at all times, with no ray of hope for the future full of uncertainties.
