Ambassador Dr Osita Offor, “De Ultimate Commander” and Ikanga Gburugburu 1st of Ohafia Ancient Kingdom, has described Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu’s 2027 governorship bid is, in his words, “laughable.” Amb. Offor likened it to a self-inflicted delusion fueled by over-praise from sycophants who may not speak the truth, but cheer him on to release the significant resources entrusted to him from the centre—a reality Offor notes is normal, as wealth is meant to be enjoyed, not buried for nothing when people can chop.
