In times of uncertainty, leaders like Mayor Osinachi Nwaka shine as beacons of hope. His unwavering commitment to the well-being of his constituents has earned him a reputation as a vigilant and gallant honorable who genuinely values human lives. This rare quality was brought to bear during the kidnapping saga of siblings in Ikwuano LGA which upon hearing the abomination, his humane part kicked.

A RARE GIFT TO MANKIND: X-raying Mayor Nwaka’s landmark achievements in Ikwuano (See Photos)

Abia State, Economy, Metro, News, PoliticsAbia State, Nigeria, Politics

As a daughter of the soil, I could state frantically that Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State, had over the years, been relegated to the background, despite having prominent sons and daughters whose names ring like bells outside the community. I remember at the age of six (6), as I observed keenly, what seemed like a tradition; better put, a ritual among the people; a situation whereby the roads were graded and left half done.

Be Wary Of Naysayers: Neither Ikwuano LGA Nor Labour Party Is In Crisis

Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, Metro, News, Opinion, PoliticsAbia State, Ikwuano LGA, Opinion, Ossy Nwaka, Police

My attention has been drawn to a rather childish, badly scripted, and blatantly infantile aberration targeted at tarnishing the image of the hardworking mayor of Ikwuano Umuahia Local Government, Hon. Ossy Nwaka, and the Labour Party family as a whole. Ordinarily, I would have looked the other way because I do not hold brief for the mayor, nor am I his image maker in any capacity. However, it is an affront to our collective sensibility and moral obligation that a group of frustrated individuals will be allowed to have a field day spreading countless lies to score cheap political goals…
