By Sonny Ogulewe In this submission I will try to be objective since any attempt to shift the conversation from the realm reality could only serve entertainment purpose, delusive and unhelpful to the task before us, which is to salvage what is remaining of Imo state from the present brigandage. My objective in this submission is not any of the above, but to give us something to ponder as a party as the 2023 governorship election approaches. A keen observer of global politics would agree with the view that the…

Onyewuchi: Burden Of Opposition Lawmaker (1)
By Chinedu Opara Being an elected legislator has its natural drawbacks. Prominent among those drawbacks is the problem of lacking executing or budgetary powers. There is no legal or constitutional provision that places funds which you can use to carry out capital or signature projects, that can serve as your sustainable legacies after leaving power. All you are entitled to is paltry “intervention fund” At state level some governors have illegally and unilaterally abrogated that constitutional enablement . At national level it is still there but, these days it is…
Read MorePeter Obi Does Not Need Fake News To Be Accepted By Nigerians
By Onwuasoanya FCC Jones In an apparent display of frustration and helplessness at Peter Obi’s rising acceptability across all tribes and strata of the Nigerian society, promoters of the two opposition candidates; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, have resorted to planting fake news across social media platforms, with the aim to pass such fake news as coming from Peter Obi’s team. This is after they have dug everywhere and sniffed everything and found that Peter Obi is absolutely free of any blemish, throughout his eight years as governor…
Read MoreOkorocha And Owerri Nchi Ise Ezeship Crisis
By Chidi Nkwopara The eventual balkanization of Owerri Nchi Ise, which makes up the municipality, by the Rochas Okorocha administration, started like a tale from moonlight. The powers that be, at the time and a handful of their indigenous supporters, may have had their reason(s), good or bad, for deciding to create five autonomous communities out of the original entity. A lot more people, were not comfortable with the plan and they showed it in varying ways, which is a story for another day. Some believed and held as a…
Read MorePDP’s Denial Of Gov. Nyesom Wike- Is It Right?
By Uzoma Nathan Today, I’m on a political voyage to discuss political justice and fair play as it concerns the executive governor of Rivers State Chief Nyesom Wike. All my readers should read this article with a mind bereft of political resentment, rancour and bias. It’s only by so doing one can appreciate the inherent reality. The science of rectificatory justice is the science that has equity as its object. It also means equity, fairness, fair play, just or being considerate in its various aspects. Even as old as the…
Read MoreImo PDP Guber Ticket: Ihedioha’s Birthright?
“Unless we love the truth, we cannot know it” By Sunny Ndukwu Some have mounted firewall against the truth about Imo state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. They may hear the fact, but go deaf. Like the biblical Prophet Daniel, when they read it, they don’t understand. When they feel, they become like Apostle Paul’s prophecy about this age and men whose consciences have been pierced with a hot iron. As the 2023 electioneering draws near, particularly the Imo governorship that will be following shortly after, interests are already renting the…

Read MoreThe Igbo PVC Ordeal In Lagos: Speak, Igbo Leaders Speak
By Comfort Obi Just so I don’t jump the gun, I have simple questions which answers I urgently seek. Has the Igbo leadership heard of and/or watched the viral video of the humiliation of the Igbo who do their businesses at Alaba International Market Lagos? And, if so, do the Igbo still have leaders? You know, Governors, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, respected Traditional Rulers, real Religious Leaders? – not those who see visions everyday and perform “miracles” every second. If they do, as I sincerely believe, such people should speak up now.…
