Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, Column, News, Ohafia, Opinion, Politics, Sponsored2027, Abia North Youth Agenda - ANYA, Abia State, Next Level, Opinion, Politics, Udoeze Kalu

I have observed with keen interest and surprise the way politics is managed within our political sphere as a people. Today, I would like to dwell on the attitude of the average Ohafia politician who has continued to see elective position in Abia State as his birthright or a package that should be handed to him on a platter of gold, but the reality is, no matter which prism you view it from, elective position is to be contested, not given.

By Odo Ijere The commissioning yesterday of the Aba Independent Power Plant project designed and built by Professor Barthlomew Nnaji's Geometric Power Ltd over a 20 years period was indeed a shining armor spotted in a thick cloud.

But turning out to be true that at last, something good came out of the tribe of Benjamin. Thus, Aba, the Enyimba City, the pearl of the Eastern States, the elephant of the Igbo miracle, the engine…

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the most prominent Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has warned the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) not to hold any kind of demonstration in Igbo territory.
