A Brutally Honest Scorecard of Nigeria’s Presidents

A Brutally Honest Scorecard of Nigeria’s Presidents

Column, Opinion, Politics, ,
By Sa'adiyyah Adebisi Hassan Nigeria’s tragedy is not a lack of leaders but a culture of dishonesty especially when judging power. We romanticize failure, weaponize nostalgia, and punish reform. This is a blunt assessment of Nigeria’s recent presidents across core governance pillars. Olusegun Obasanjo (1999–2007): Economic Repair, Democratic Abuse Obasanjo deserves credit for stabilizing Nigeria’s economy after decades of military misrule and restoring Nigeria’s international standing. Debt relief and diplomatic reintegration were real achievements. However, politically, he governed like a civilian dictator. Institutions existed, but power overrode them. The third-term agenda alone disqualifies him from any democratic sainthood. Anti-corruption was…

Mapping the Future: How Governor Otti’s 25-Year Plan Has Secured Abia’s Destiny

Mapping the Future: How Governor Otti’s 25-Year Plan Has Secured Abia’s Destiny

Abia State, Economy, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, , , ,
By Ebere Uzoukwa, PhD Governor Alex Chioma Otti, OFR, has moved Abia State from the uncertainty of political cycles into the certainty of long-term planning by signing into law a comprehensive 25-Year Development Plan. In a political environment where visions often expire with administrations, this singular act stands out as a deliberate effort to protect Abia’s future from policy reversals and governance disruptions. By legally institutionalising development planning, the governor has transformed aspiration into obligation, ensuring that growth, prosperity, and good governance in Abia are no longer optional promises but enforceable commitments binding on present and future leaders alike. At…

Public Voices Reaffirm Commitment, Support for Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu in 2027

Abia State, News, Opinion, Politics, , ,
The Chinedu Onyeizu Campaign Organization has observed with keen interest the growing public reactions that followed Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe’s recent comments on the 2023 presidential election. What began as a national political debate has now reopened unresolved questions closer to home, particularly concerning the credibility of the 2023 Abia South senatorial election. In doing so, public opinion has once again reaffirmed what we have consistently maintained: that Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu was the rightful choice of the people of Abia South. Across Abia State, voices from different segments of society: legal practitioners, youth advocates, community leaders, and ordinary citizens, have openly…

If Vision Had Won: How Abia South Would Have Fared With Onyeizu as Senator

If Vision Had Won: How Abia South Would Have Fared With Onyeizu as Senator

Abia State, Metro, News, Opinion, Politics, , , , ,
If vision had prevailed in the 2023 general election, Abia South Senatorial District would today be telling a very different story, one defined not by length of service, but by depth of impact. For nearly two decades, the district has been represented in the Senate, yet the everyday realities of the people have remained largely unchanged. Federal presence is thin, empowerment is limited, and opportunities for youths and women have been more a matter of chance than of deliberate policy. While other senatorial districts across the country point to roads, institutions, employment schemes, and structured empowerment programmes attracted by their…
