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

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…

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.

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…

Revisiting 134% Increase In Minimum Wage (70k): Ajaero, Osifo, Organized Labour Living And Leaving To Fight Another Day.

Revisiting 134% Increase In Minimum Wage (70k): Ajaero, Osifo, Organized Labour Living And Leaving To Fight Another Day.

I am compelled to do this incisive effort which is apparently targeted at putting the records straight ditto the decision of Organized Labour to settle for a 134% increase in Minimum Wage thus taking the minimum wage from 30k to 70k rather than insisting on the 250k which was the position until the last meeting Organized Labour had with Mr. President and his Team. There is a preponderance of angry opinions out there seeking to lampoon and vilify the position of Organized Labour, some have said that Labour sold out, others have argued that 70k is not good enough, and…

That Remarkable OBIDIENT-FOR-Ai SYMPOSIUM. Where WOW Is Understatement.

The theme of the Symposium was Obidients For An Edo That Works For All: The Asue Ighodalo Phenomenon.

This advocacy group that has announced its presence and seriousness with unmistakable billboards and massive presence in orthodox Press and Social Media added an intellectual feather to their cap that Saturday. The venue in a serene…

One Year Of Doing Things Differently: The Peter Mbah Story

One Year Of Doing Things Differently: The Peter Mbah Story

He arguably comes across as the Governor with the best scorecard in 365 days. Ndi Enugu can attest to this truism. The Enugu space today tells lucid testimonies of the place of commitment, dedication, capacity and competency in transformational leadership. And such is the remarkable Story of Peter Mbah. I had a near 30 minutes private dialogue with His EXCELLENCY Peter Ndubuisi Mbah three days after he was sworn in as the Executive Governor of Enugu State in 2023. Interestingly I have elected to pen this Tribute in Profound Leadership in his honour exactly one year after that incisive dialogue.…
