Abia State, News, Politics2027, Abia State, Bende LGA, NDC, Paschal Karibe Ojigwe, Politics

By Amb. Monyeazor Oluebube Sunday Bende Federal Constituency is not just any constituency. It is the ancestral home of Abia State. Home of warriors, traders, intellectuals and great men and women. From the famous Bende hills, to the markets of Uzuakoli, to the rice fields of Igbere, to the business clusters of Item, Alayi, Ozuitem, Umuhu Ezechi, Nkpa, and Ugwueke - Bende has everything. Except one thing: We have not had a VOICE in Abuja that understands that our greatest asset - our YOUTHS - is bleeding. Today in Bende, over 60% of our population are youths under 35. Energetic,…

The Future Of Abia North Must Be Built On Trust, Courage, And Responsible Leadership.

Abia State, Amos Oge Kalu, News, Politics2027, Abia State, Opinion, Politics

Every generation faces a moment when it must decide what kind of future it wants. For Abia North, that moment calls for thoughtful choices, renewed commitment, and a clear understanding that leadership is ultimately about the people. Representation should mean more than occupying a seat in the Senate. It should mean carrying the hopes of the people, listening to their concerns, respecting their aspirations, and treating their trust as a responsibility that must never be taken for granted. As we look toward 2027, I believe our people deserve a conversation focused on substance, character, experience, and the future we want…
