Ohafia L.G.A Chairmanship: Meet Labour Party Retinue Of Aspirants: The Okamu Question, Part 1

Ohafia L.G.A Chairmanship: Meet Labour Party Retinue Of Aspirants: The Okamu Question, Part 1

Breaking, Nigeria, Opinion, Politics
As the Ohafia Local Government chairmanship race heats up, the ruling Labour Party in Abia State is grappling with the crucial decision of selecting the ideal candidate for the position. Amidst the intense politicking, a strong advocacy has emerged, urging the party to consider Okamu Ward in Ohafia South for the coveted seat. The clarion call is rooted in the principles of equity, fairness, and balance for progress, as Okamu Ward has never produced an elected chairman of the local government, while other wards have repeatedly held the position. This move is seen as a strategic effort to promote inclusivity…

Speaking at the 2024 Second Plenary Assembly of the CBCN in Auchi, Edo State, Ugorji emphasized that the current economic policies have caused more harm than good.

“Don’t Distract Otti with Talks of APC, 2027” – “Ikenga Gburugburu” Cautions Deputy Speaker, Ben. Kalu

“Don’t Distract Otti with Talks of APC, 2027” – “Ikenga Gburugburu” Cautions Deputy Speaker, Ben. Kalu

Nigeria, Opinion, Politics, , ,
The Ikenga Gburugburu of Ohafia Ancient Kingdom and President of United Abia Artists and Patriots (UAAP) feels compelled to address the recent utterances of Deputy Speaker Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, which threaten the fabric of our democracy. We urge him to desist from making undemocratic statements, as Nigeria is not a one-party state. We reject the notion that every governor must come from the APC simply because the party holds power at the center. This idea contradicts democratic principles and the rule of law. There is no law in Nigeria mandating governors to come from a particular party. The APC's…

Edo 2024: Of Mute Monday, Dancing Olumide And Astute Asue… A Choice So Simple.

Edo 2024: Of Mute Monday, Dancing Olumide And Astute Asue… A Choice So Simple.

Nigeria, Opinion, Politics
The politics of Edo State Governorship contestation have been very intriguing since the return to civil rule in 1999. Very curiously however, the 2024 Edo State Governorship Election appears the simplest and the most predictable. Not in anyway denigrating the league of other contestants for the high office of Governor of Edo State, what is largely before us is a Three-horse race. We have Monday Okpebholo, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress APC, the Ruling Party at the Centre. We have Olumide Akpata, the candidate of the Labour Party LP. And we have Asue Ighodalo A.I, the candidate of…
