Ohanaeze Ndigbo Condemns Chief Edwin Clark’s Divisive Rhetoric and Calls for National Unity

Opinion, Politics, Sponsored2023, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Opinion, Politics

PRESS RELEASE Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, strongly denounces Chief Edwin Clark's recent vituperative rhetoric and exclusionary stance towards Abia, Imo, and Ondo States in the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).

Opinion: Oyebanji, Ekiti and purposeful leadership

Column, Opinion, PoliticsEkiti State, Nigeria, Opinion, Politics

By Abiodun KOMOLAFE Although the initial steps have to be taken by the individual, the picture of personality as having “power to uplift, power to depress, power to curse, and power to bless” is working for Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti State.

Essentially therefore, it is an individual’s character that defines his or her legacy. Tellingly, Oyebanji, aka BAO, has within a year in office redefined governance.…
