Dr. Martina Amarachi Ononiwu: A Fresh Force APC Cannot Afford to Ignore in Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency Race

Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , ,
As the political landscape gradually shapes ahead of the 2027 general elections, stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State are faced with a critical decision—one that will determine not just electoral victory, but the quality of representation the people of Ikwuano/Umuahia North and South Federal Constituency will receive. In this defining moment, one name continues to resonate with growing acceptance across communities, youth blocs, women groups, and party faithful alike—Dr. Martina Amarachi Ononiwu. Dr. Ononiwu represents a compelling blend of intellect, grassroots connection, and modern leadership capacity. Her emergence is not built on noise or imposition, but…

Ohanaeze Urges Peter Obi To Drop 2027 Ambition, Back Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Amos Oge Kalu, Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , , , ,
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has called on former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, to withdraw from the 2027 presidential race and align with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the interest of Ndigbo. In a strongly worded press release issued on May 5, 2026, the group expressed concerns that Obi’s current political trajectory may jeopardize both his chances and the broader interests of the Igbo nation.

How Abia Secured Access to $700M World Bank SURWASH Fund

Abia State, Business, Economy, Opinion, Politics, , , ,
By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Abia State’s qualification for the 700 million dollar World Bank supported SURWASH programme stands as a defining moment in its development trajectory. It signals a clear endorsement of the state’s governance direction under Governor Alex Chioma Otti. Far from being incidental, this achievement reflects a disciplined commitment to transparency, accountability and prudent management of public resources; qualities that have steadily restored confidence in Abia’s institutions and leadership. Abia State’s emergence as one of the six beneficiaries of the programme is neither accidental nor politically convenient, rather an outcome of a deliberate governance shift anchored on transparency,…

You Can’t Beat BAT, Divided And Disunited… I.

You Can’t Beat BAT, Divided And Disunited… I.

Column, Opinion, Politics, , , , , ,
I was going to begin a new series called ATIKU: NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT COUNTRYFIRST before the new wave of defections over the weekend from the African Democratic Congress ADC to the National Democratic Congress NDC compelled this detour. My concern is not so much about partisanship, nor about anybody's place in the politricks of 2027, it is more about the lot of the Nigerian people. Sadly, to the All Progressive Congress APC and the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidency the masses do not matter… I truly hope we matter to the leaders of the opposition. I pray we…

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, Chief Chidiebere Okoh, has alleged that Governor Alex Otti is behind the brewing crisis within the party, warning that the development could weaken the APC ahead of the 2027 governorship election.

Hon. Benjamin Kalu. According to him, the alleged interference is aimed at destabilizing the influence of the two political heavyweights in order to create a…
