PRESS RELEASE: Date: 11/12/2024 - Resolute Stand Against Northern Hegemony: Ohanaeze Ndigbo Responds to Atiku Abubakar's Endorsement of a Northern Presidency—Umahi's Development Projects to Guarantee Igbo Votes for Tinubu in 2027. The Apex Igbo Sociocultural Organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, vehemently issues this formal response to the recent declarations made by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the former Vice President and 2023 PDP Presidential Candidate. His overt endorsement of a Northern Presidency for the upcoming 2027 elections exacerbates longstanding concerns within the Nigerian polity, particularly among the Igbo people, regarding the potential subversion of the critically important principle of rotational presidency—an essential pillar of…

Celebrating Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s Reappointment as WTO Director-General – Peter Obi

Column, Economy, News, Sponsored, , ,
I am sincerely delighted at the reappointment of my very dear elder sister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation for a second term, effective from 1 September 2025. The very heartwarming news was just announced by the General Council of the organization. Iweala's admirable character, impressive resume, and litany of achievements in public office stand her out as a competent leader for such a noble organization. With her very visible contributions to our national development and the global community, she remains one of Nigeria's most valuable human capital exports to the world, a symbol of hard…

Dr. Kalu Describes Expulsion of Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere from PDP as a Hoax

Dr. Kalu Describes Expulsion of Hon Ikenga Ugochinyere from PDP as a Hoax

Amos Oge Kalu, Column, News, Opinion, Politics, Sponsored, , ,
I read with dismay the fraudulently tailored publications signed by the Imo State PDP Publicity Secretary expelling Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere. At a time the party is rebuilding, some persons took to abusing processes by publishing Ugochinyere's expulsion. Hon. Ugochinyere has remained committed to fighting injustice and sabotage within the party. He deserves accolades, not an expulsion letter. What an irony of bias and political immaturity! A party captured by internal enemies should focus on retrieving its glory rather than fighting a man working to strengthen it. I call on the national leadership to intervene and reverse this decision. Hon. Ugochinyere…

“Salus populi suprema lex esto” – Cicero. The commissioning of The Wole Olanipekun Senate Building at the Bamidele Olumilua University of Education, Science and Technology (BOUESTI), Ikere, Ekiti State, last Thursday, has again testified to the power of visionary leadership and the boundless potential of human generosity. In a world where the pursuit of knowledge is often overshadowed by the pursuit of power and wealth, Wole Olanipekun’s commitment to the ‘civilizing mission’ of education is a breath of fresh air. This iconic Senate Building stands as a beacon of hope and an illuminating path to a brighter future for generations…

My experience as a Branch Internal Auditor in a now-consolidated commercial bank during the 2000s taught me the importance of accountability and oversight in institutions. In this role, I identified exceptions, assessed their impact, and recommended corrective actions. This skillset has since informed my understanding of the need for transparency and accountability in governance and political institutions. Akinwumi Olojo, my former Line Boss and the bank’s Chief Internal Auditor, would often remind us that a governor paying salaries is merely fulfilling his contractual obligation to the electorate. “Thanking him for doing his job,” he’d say, “is akin to praising a…
