Best thing that happened to Abia North Senatorial Zone was electing Dr Orji Uzor Kalu to the Senate . No senator would have been able to accomplish what he has achieved in these few months despite the six months of incarceration. Thank God the Senate leadership did not listen to wailers who wanted his seat declared vacant .  A seat many had occupied for longer period with next to nothing to show for it in the lives of our people. I am glad for boldly defending the Senate’s decision on the famous TVC interview , where I publicly told Nigerians that fair hearing was yet to be given to Dr Kalu and until he is heard at the Supreme Court , his right of appeal cannot be said to have been fully exhausted. This was when many were  reluctant to speak up on this issue because they considered it sensitive .  What was more sensitive to me was the needs of the zone which he had assured me he wanted to take care of having missed a few of them as a Governor owing to the fight with the President that

James Obi Nov 4. 2020 Port Harcourt Unknown to many, the genocide that took place in Oyigbo was a premeditated attack by Wike on the indigenes because they are not just passionate about their Igbo identity but also identifying with their brothers from the SE. Wike is a narcissist who hates Igbos with passion and he feels threatened that a union between Igbos and their Obigbo brothers could put a stop to ikwerre undue dominance and maltreatment of other minorities in Rivers State. His attack on them was aimed at breaking this emerging bond and brotherhood between Igbos and their Obigbo blood brothers but unfortunately for him, it has backfired and has achieved the very purpose he was trying to stop. For those who still don't know that Wike hates Igbos more than any politician alive today in Nigeria, I will give you facts on why Wike is against Igbo interests. Fact 1. Wike has been pushing a ridiculous propaganda that Igbos are not indigenous to Rivers State. He now often mention Igb

THE South East zone can rightly be said to be under siege by soldiers and police that have mounted checkpoints almost at every two kilometers in all the major roads in the zone. From Aba to Umuahia to Owerri, Enugu to Abakaliki, Awka to Onitsha to Nnewi, the story is the same. From Aba to Enugu, a distance of 150 kilometers, there are at least 12 army checkpoints and over 16 police checkpoints, permanently mounted and a couple of stop and search police teams The situation has been a source of worry to motorists and other road users in the zone, some of whom have described it as an embarrassment and an assault of the people of the zone. Recall that during the last South East Security meeting with the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo raised alarm over the multiple police checkpoints in the zone with the attendant extortion of motorists, harassment and intimidation of even passersby. In Abia, Aba-Umuahia, both the expr

But Obi said APGA was making sure that it followed the party’s guidelines. Ekwueme’s wife, others drum support for Soludo in Anambra The chairman said three persons had shown interest in the governorship ticket, including Soludo, adding that by January, things will become clearer. Other aspirants, according to Obi, are Sir Damian Okolo, from Nnewi
