Eze Chikamnayo Accuses Gov. Alex Otti of Running Abia State from His Bedroom

Abia State, News, Opinion, Politics, ,
Abia State Governor Alex Otti has been accused by former Commissioner for Information Barrister Eze Chikamnayo of governing the state from his private residence instead of the newly constructed Government House in Umuahia. According to Chikamnayo, Otti has relocated the seat of power to his bedroom, which is 54 kilometres away from the state capital. The new Government House was commissioned in May 2023 by former Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, but Otti's administration has raised concerns about the building's readiness for use. The governor has cited structural defects and a lack of necessary facilities as reasons for not utilising the building.…

BudgIT: Peter Obi on N70 trillion in budget fraud: “Nigeria is a scene of corruption.”

BudgIT: Peter Obi on N70 trillion in budget fraud: “Nigeria is a scene of corruption.”

Business, Economy, Opinion, Politics, , , ,
Peter Obi, the standard bearer for the Labour Party in the 2023 election, has criticised Nigeria's unrelenting corruption. Obi claimed Nigeria is still rife with corruption in response to the massive N70 trillion budget scam that BudgIT discovered in the 2025 federal budget. “I have consistently maintained that for this country to make progress, Nigeria must cease to function as a crime scene and be repositioned for genuine development,” Obi said in a statement released by POMR spokesman Ibrahim Umar. “This entrenched corruption – persistent and deeply rooted – must be nipped in the bud if there is to be…

Atiku’s VP Offer To Obi, One-Term Presidency: “The Greatest Deception Of The Century” – Ohanaeze Ndugbo

Atiku’s VP Offer To Obi, One-Term Presidency: “The Greatest Deception Of The Century” – Ohanaeze Ndugbo

Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , ,
The Apex Igbo Sociocultural Organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, stands resolutely in condemnation of the persistent and blatant repetition of historical deceits and manipulative political tactics employed by Atiku Abubakar against the Southeast. In the strongest possible terms, we denounce Atiku's attempts to once again cajole the Southeast with whitewashed lies and the worn-out propaganda of a single presidency—an overture now made for the third consecutive time. In 2019, Atiku Abubakar’s ambiguous promises regarding a single presidency were presented to Ohanaeze and a gathering of esteemed Igbo leaders, led by the late Professor Ben Nwabueze. These proposals, however, were met with skepticism,…

Of Stupidity, Show Of Shame, And Shenanigans 3.

GALE OF DEFECTIONS: A STORM IN A TEACUP. The political class is arrogantly building a huge wave of massive masses discontent and hate; through the wave of huge illogical and inexplicable defections in the face of hunger, insecurity, and massive masses discontent they are arming the masses against themselves; and very unfortunately partisan obscurantists and jesters like the APC National Chairman Alhaji Gandollar Ganduje think that all is well, and that the descent to a One-Party State is ok. The pervasive wave of arrogant defections shall fuel the people against the political class and by Jove give fillip to the…

The Scary Rise in South-East Organised Systematic Exclusion From Nigeria.

The Scary Rise in South-East Organised Systematic Exclusion From Nigeria.

Column, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, Sponsored, , , ,
It’s time to strip away the propaganda and confront the truth: the South-East region of Nigeria continues to suffer calculated exclusion from national development policies and federal investments, an injustice both glaring and dangerous to Nigeria’s unity. Let’s break it down, fact by fact: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu STUDENT LOAN SCHEME, South-East Excluded. The 2024 rollout of the Nigerian Student Loan Scheme by the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has so far failed to include a single public tertiary institution from the South-East among the first batch of beneficiaries. While students in other zones are applying, over 100,000 South-East students…
