2023: Evidence that Peter Obi and the Labour Party are one step closer to victory, by Valentine Ozigbo

Opinion

Last week, Mr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), showed his electoral strength with visits to Delta, Anambra, and Enugu states, where he held hugely successful campaign rallies. By now, His Excellency Peter Obi has solidified his reputation as an ethical candidate who has rejected the politics of corruption, inducement, and crowd-buying. By doing so, he has set himself apart from his main rivals. The crowds at the Labour Party rallies in Delta, Anambra, and Enugu were genuine passionate believers in Obi’s candidacy and the Obidient Movement.

Opinion: Ikechi Emenike’s Race Down South, By Odo Ijere

Opinion, Politics

A few days ago, I was engaged in a feisty drama by some inelegant staccato voices over my choice of words for the dieing governorship dreams of High Chief Ikechi Emenike. These staccato voices chose to attack the messenger and ignoring the message. My allegorical message of a black goat that got missing at night has remained a riddle till now that daylight has appeared. Ikechi Emenike's demonic apparition has now been replaced by a rare photo opportunity with President Muhammadu Buhari for which his supporters regale themselves in wanton celebration and sophistry. Seeing also the wife of Ikechi Emenike,…

OPINION: Is Senator Orji Uzor Kalu Only Concerned About Road Construction In Abia North?, By Bernard Ogbe

Opinion

Just like his name implies, ‘Uzor’, meaning ‘Road’, and braced with the numerous roads attracted to Abia North Senatorial District, by Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, which he also extended to other areas outside his constitutional jurisdiction, one would be quick to say, Orji Uzor Kalu, is only concerned about road constructions. It would be ridiculous however, to peg Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, to just building roads. Orji Kalu, is a polished and updated leader, who knows the importance of roads as a step towards developing Abia North communities. He is also systematically touching Abia North, by giving the District, the…

Bishop Emeka Nwamkpa’s Husband To The Widows’ Event Holds January 2

Featured

The convent program of the Accord Party Governorship Candidate of the 2023 gubernatorial contest in Abia State, Bishop Emeka Nwamkpa, is no longer a new story in the lives of Abians. A special event he has used to sustain widows of Abia State as he has pragmatically fit himself into the reality and circumstances of these women by being a husband to them through providing annual Christmas packages to give them succor and care during the festive period. Undoubtedly, this year's event coincided with his political activities of 2023, and one would have naturally expected that such a capital-intensive exercise…

OPINION: Ayade The Prophet, His Dreams, And The Future, By Victor Egba

Opinion

"A politician thinks of the next election, a statesman the next generation" ~Mark Twain. When I read in the news that Sen. Ben Ayade the Executive Governor of Cross River State and the Candidate of the APC for the northern Senatorial District in 2023 had in his characteristic humour revealed that he was not just a professor but a prophet it made sense to me. I Could recall that in 2020 at the peak of the Covid '19 outbreak, while the world was still running helter-skelter in search of measures, preventive or proactive Sen. Ayade declared that movement should continue…

OPINION: The Second Coming Of FG/ASUU Clash Will Make EndSars Crisis A Child’s Play, By Odo Ijere

Opinion

Most of those masquerading themselves in the corridors of power today and speaking on behalf of the Federal Government or Buhari are irresponsible, vile, insular, evil, and narcissist. They want to needlessly plunge this nation in undeserved crises. They speak to us in Buhari's name whereas Buhari is unaware. We're told Federal Government has said this and that.
