“Your 2023 Victory More Fraudulent Than Tinubu’s” — Abians Hit Abaribe, Insist Onyeizu Won the Election

“Your 2023 Victory More Fraudulent Than Tinubu’s” — Abians Hit Abaribe, Insist Onyeizu Won the Election

Abia State, Column, News, Opinion, Politics, , , , ,
Some indigenes of Abia State have taken a swipe at Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe following his recent remarks alleging that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not win the 2023 presidential election, but that the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi, was the actual winner. Reacting to Abaribe’s comments, several Abians accused the senator of hypocrisy, arguing that his own victory in the 2023 Abia South senatorial election was more questionable than the presidential election he criticized. According to them, the Labour Party candidate, Engr. Chinedu Onyeizu, was the rightful winner of the Abia South senatorial contest, but the election was allegedly manipulated…

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…
