Peter Mba Changing The Narrative From Partisanship To Performance II.

Enugu, Nigeria - When Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah took the oath of office as the 5th democratically elected Governor of Enugu State, he promised to “disrupt the status quo.” Two and half years later, the evidence is visible in Schools, Hospitals, Roads, Pipes, Fiber-optic Cables, Security Cameras, Smart Cities, and Farmlands across the State. Of the plethora of very laudable projects of the Mbah administration, I have elected 30 standout Projects that define one of the most ambitious State-level development blueprints in contemporary Nigeria. This feature takes a deep dive into these 30 landmark projects reshaping Enugu. 260 SMART GREEN…

Today’s Session: Kanu’s Defence Team Flays Alleged Bias, Denial Of Fair Hearing, Irregularities In Proceedings

Warning Nigerians and the international community "don't let them feed you lies" on what transpired before the Federal High Court Abuja today during the terrorism case brought against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government (FG), the legal team of the detained leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) opened up on what they claimed occurred. His Global Defence Consortium accused the court of continued bias and denial of fair hearing, following what it described as fresh irregularities during today's court proceedings presided over by Justice James Omotosho. In a statement released today by Barrister Onyedikachi Ifedi, after the sitting,…

As President Tinubu Continues To Level The Field

As President Tinubu Continues To Level The Field

By SHEDDY OZOENE We are gradually getting close. The stumbling blocks that stood in the way of a seamless re-election for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu are being steadily dismantled. What seemed, only months ago, like a discordant orchestra of voices within the Nigerian political space is gradually being tuned into harmony and the political establishment is increasingly being united in words, in actions, and in purpose, towards a single end: to queue behind Tinubu and sing his praises into 2027. President Tinubu has, quite ironically, become the beautiful bride of Nigerian politics. Even as his administration reels under fierce criticism…

Let’s Encourage Tinubu To Practice Democracy

Let’s Encourage Tinubu To Practice Democracy

BY ABRAHAM OGBODO We have a responsibility to assist President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to practise democracy. We are doing as if a failure is Tinubu’s personal failure. It is not. I have lived through four republics in Nigeria. And that is because politicians have not mastered how to care for a republic. Each, since the first republic started in 1963, had come with a new challenge. The ongoing dispensation which started on May 29, 1999 is the fourth republic. It is the fourth time that we are doing this thing called general elections, in every four years, to recruit leaders…

Gov. Sheriff Oborevwori: The Performing Governor Of Delta State.

Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has emerged as one of Nigeria’s most notable performing Governors.

In just about every sector and aspect of leadership the protagonist of the M.O.R.E Agenda the Executive Governor of Delta State Chief Sheriff Oborevwori has shown…

Ndi’Enugu Our Movement From PDP To APC Is For Our Collective Good. – Peter Mbah.

Dateline 14th October, 2025, it was a political tsunami of sorts as almost the entire political structure of the Peoples Democracy Party PDP in Enugu State defected to the All Progressive Congress APC in a move that was clearly long overdue considering the protracted unwillingness of the PDP to heed the position of the South East Caucus concerning the leadership crisis that had become the Archiles Heel of the Party, unfortunately the PDP took the informed position of the South East Caucus lightly. The very many troubles with the PDP and its unwillingness to heed the call of the South…

Fubara, Natasha And The Season of Reinstatements

Fubara, Natasha And The Season of Reinstatements

By SHEDDY OZOENE Nigerian politics has always been filled with drama, but the last six months could easily pass for a badly scripted series. Nigerians were treated to two running political comedies, from the city of Port Harcourt to the hallowed chambers of the Nigerian Senate. President Bola Tinubu’s decision to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025, was one leg of the comedy. Tinubu suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and the State House of Assembly, justifying his action with claims of a breakdown in governance, threats to national security, and the alleged sabotage…

Fubara And The Witches

Fubara And The Witches

FESTUS ADEDAYO Three Nigerian “witches” just got beaten by a midnight downpour. They are, Siminalayi Fubara, Nyesom Wike and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in ascending order. Last Thursday, September 18, 2025, there was an initial apprehension in Rivers State over whether its reinstated governor, Fubara, was “coming home.” An earlier excitedness over the end of emergency rule got momentarily dampened. Apprehension however dissolved when Fubara’s nemesis, FCT Minister, Wike, proclaimed that indeed, Fubara was coming home. The frenzy over Fubara “coming home” was similar to "It's coming home!", a phrase taken out of the 1996 song, “Three Lions”, composed for England…

Ibas Takes His Inglorious Leave As Fubara Returns

Ibas Takes His Inglorious Leave As Fubara Returns

By IKECHUKWU AMAECHI It is no longer a matter of conjecture. As Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, haughtily disclosed on August 30, President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, announced an end to the six-month emergency rule he imposed on Rivers State on March 18. Unlike the emergency rule proclamation which he made via a national broadcast, the president ended the ill-advised political manoeuvre via a statement he personally signed, expressing satisfaction that the inglorious measure had achieved its objectives. Claiming that it would have been a colossal failure on his part not to have made the proclamation,…

Soludo: A Governor And His Indiscretions

Soludo: A Governor And His Indiscretions

By SHEDDY OZOENE When Professor Chukwuma Soludo indicated interest in becoming governor of Anambra State, there was so much excitement in the air.  Here was a globally respected economist, a technocrat of uncommon intellect, and one of Ndigbo’s brightest stars—armed with credentials that promised to redefine governance in the state. His rise from a respected academic to Presidential economic adviser under Olusegun Obasanjo, and later, Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank, put him head and shoulders above other aspirants. When one adds his “Dubai-Taiwan” vision, one would appreciate why the imagination of the people who are famous for their high business…
