As the journey toward 2027 begins to gather momentum, the people of Abia North Senatorial Zone are increasingly focused on one central question: who possesses the vision, competence, and commitment to truly transform the zone?

Abia Central 2027: Bishop Nwankpa Calls for Equity, Fairness

The Abia Central Senatorial District stands as a mosaic of six local government areas of Isiala Ngwa North, Isiala Ngwa South, Osisioma, Ikwuano, Umuahia North, and Umuahia South, each contributing uniquely to the political and socio-economic development of the zone.

Today, Nigeria is not being governed; it is being radiated. This present administration did not arrive as a builder’s crane, but as a “Little Boy” dropped onto the fragile ethnic nationalities unity,…

Column, Opinion, PoliticsAbiodun KOMOLAFE, Politics

June 20, 2026, is the date appointed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to hold the governorship election in Ekiti State. Ceteris paribus, this leaves exactly 91 days for the incumbent governor, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, aka BAO, to defend a mandate that the conventional wisdom already views as a logical bridge to four more years of consolidated progress. The consensus is that the odds heavily favour the incumbent, and for good reason. As it stands, there is no potent opposition, and there are unlikely to be legal obstacles regarding the legitimacy of his candidacy. However, while it is difficult…
