Alex Ekwueme’s contrøversial arrest, detent!on by Buhari and how Babangida restricted his movement

Alex Ekwueme’s contrøversial arrest, detent!on by Buhari and how Babangida restricted his movement

One of the political arrests that have remained contrøversial had to do with Dr. Alex Ekwueme, then Vice President under Alhaji Shehu Shagari. Ekwueme was arrested with some others on January 17, 1984 immediately after the government of Shagari was overthrown. When Buhari was asked about his continued detention while Shagari was only placed under house arrest, the head of State was quoted by Concord newspaper as saying Ekwueme was detained in Lagos in the Kirikiri maximum-security prison because of suspected involvement in shady oil deals.

TSUNAMI: Abia North; A Time To Upgrade – The E.C.K. Factor

The term "Jungle" has taken on a new meaning as the stage is set and the environment has reached its peak of intensity. The recent entry of Dr. Emeka Charles Kalu into the race has sent shockwaves through Abia North over the past week. This tactical grassroots mobilizer and catalyst for disruption in the political landscape, both in Arizona and Nigeria, has reportedly caused an old contender to panic, stating, "I will relocate in February to deliver… and myself." This reaction is a clear sign of fear. E.C.K. is committed to bringing accountability, as evidenced by his over 30 years…

https://youtube.com/shorts/I9zaq6HFjJs?si=T2uhgVxA7S9_z6gT Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the lawmaker representing Abia North Senatorial District, has stirred political controversy after declaring that the Senate seat for Abia North is “not in contest” and warning those preparing to challenge him in 2027 to “wait until I’m done.” The former Abia State Governor said, “Abia North senate seat is not in contest with anybody. I am not contesting with anybody. They should all wait till I finish before they come out. Which Senate are they going to, and what are they going to do that I am not doing? I am sincere with the people of…
