Abaribe Says, Nigeria Would Have Been Better If Peter Obi Won 2023 Election

Senator Abaribe believes Nigeria would have progressed better if Peter Obi had won the 2023 presidential election. Read more.

Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, representing Abia South, asserted that Nigeria would be in a more favorable position today had Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election, emerged victorious.

He criticized the current administration under President Bola Tinubu for fostering nepotism, claiming that such practices would have been absent in an Obi-led government.

During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Abaribe emphasized that Obi’s leadership would have prioritized inclusivity and fairness, contrasting it with the current government’s approach, which he believes has deepened the issue of nepotism initiated by former President Buhari.

He also urged the people of the South-East to take proactive steps to improve their region rather than relying on presidential fairness, noting that only a few past leaders have been just to them.

Additionally, Abaribe welcomed the arrest of Simon Ekpa, the self-proclaimed Prime Minister of Biafra in exile, viewing it as a positive development that could deter violence instigated by such figures.

He concluded by stating that the release of Nnamdi Kanu could help end the violence in the South-East.

Governor Hope UZODINMA Senior Special Assistant on creative media have narrated part of his history and travails in politics and media, in his Facebook page he stated “I joined Facebook in 2010, started following current affairs in 2011, and began writing about politics in 2012. Since then, I have remained consistent to this day.

I was awarded “The Most Vibrant and Social Media Informer of the Year” by Imo Social Media Searchlight Concept, an event organized by Mc Tboy Samuel and his boss, MC Banana Mouth….the first in Imo state social media community.

Same year, April 2014, I received my first political appointment as a media consultant to the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu (may God continue to rest his beautiful soul).

This marks 15 years on Facebook and 13 years of political engagement here. And in all these years, not a single person can claim that Ambrose Nwaogwugwu has defrauded them of even 1 kobo.

When you mention my name, people may call me all sorts of things—praise singer, sycophant, data boy, or even Uzodimma’s slave—and I wear these names as a badge of honor. However, no one can associate my name with any form of scam or fraud.

Were it not for politics, my name would have remained completely unblemished. But in life, one must be known for something. Nevertheless, if my name is mentioned in my absence, it will never be linked to fraud or dishonesty.

You are defined by how people speak of you in your absence, not by what they say when you are present.

I urge young people to be cautious in their dealings and avoid anything that could tarnish their reputation. There are individuals whose names, when mentioned, immediately bring to mind multiple accusations of fraud and scam—and when several people say the same thing, they can’t all be wrong.

Young people must do better.

I was raised with the fear of God, and I have always refrained from anything that could bring dishonor to my name. While growing up, my mother constantly reminded us that our name is NWAOGWUGWU, a prestigious name that must never be stained….that out name is not good in mkporo ghieghie (whilstling). She emphasized that stealing, fraud, and deception are not in our lineage—a principle I uphold to this day.

Apart from politics, no human born of a woman can accuse me of any wrongdoing.

Young people must strive for a better way of life.

Yes, times are tough, but there is dignity in honest labor. Defrauding and scamming others is not labor—it makes you nothing but a thief.” he  said

Part of the legislative functions of the Assembly is to impeach the governor if he is found wanting for going against stipulations of the law.

The lawmakers, about 27 of them, have been at loggerheads with Governor Siminalayi Fubara as they try to maintain their loyalty to the FCT minister.

The lawmakers led by Martin Amaewhule recently obtained victory at the Supreme Court, which ordered that they should resume their legislative duties.

The governor was also ordered to re-present the 2025 budget to the full House of the Assembly and reconduct the local council elections.

There are speculations about the majority lawmakers plotting the governor’s impeachment.

“I’m not going to stop the Assembly from performing their constitutional duties. People who love peace don’t threaten people,” Wike told a large number of Kalabari people on Saturday.

“Assembly must do their work, whatever they deem necessary and fit, that it is constitutional, they should do.”

He continued, “Let them tell me what initiative they have put on the ground. It is not to abuse us. You can abuse me as much as you want; I never bother myself. abuse Dey kill anybody?

“You don seen who abuse don kill? What is important is the result. Na who get high blood pressure now; no be them?”

message is because I called you and your PA severally in order to inform you of the latest development but no response. I’m very conscious of insecurity because of my old age & for the safety of my people.”

Declaring Abalama a non-partisan community, the king stated, “I and my people disassociate ourselves from the said event because we are not aware of the recent update. I think I was deceived with the letter I received earlier from Dr. D. A. Kelly, FNIQS, not knowing it was a different event that is upcoming.”

He urged the Commissioner of Police to take immediate action, warning that the organisers had no right to proceed without his approval.

“Abalama is an autonomous Community with a King and nobody has the right to organize such an event without my knowledge and the consent of my council of chiefs,” he emphasised.

 

The monarch concluded by reaffirming the community’s stance. “I and my people have resolved that the organisers of the event should take the event to anywhere of their choice,” he said, making it clear that Abalama would not be part of it.
