Now That The Campaign Is Here… III. There Must Be Space For Wholesome And Peaceful Debate – Nwaokobia Jnr.

Column, News, Opinion, Politics2027, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

There Must Be Space For Wholesome And Peaceful Debate And Ventilation Of Ideas. It MUST BE About Issues NOT Darts. WEEK THREE (3rd September - 9th September). If this campaign means anything, we must first insist on two things: a wholesome, peaceful environment, and the free ventilation of ideas. Elections are not wars. They are conversations. Any attempt to silence voices or intimidate opponents is an assault on democracy itself. Therefore the show of shame orchestrated by the Governor of Benue State Reverend Father Alia who mobilized thugs to stop the convoy of the NDC Presidential Candidate Peter Obi from…

'When A Man's Way Pleases The Lord, He Makes Even His Enemies At Peace With Him.' - The Bible. In politics, opposition parties are very visible and effective where and when governments fail. They gain momentum when promises remain unfulfilled, when projects are abandoned, and when citizens lose faith in those entrusted with power. Conversely, when governance is visible, measurable and impactful, the opposition often finds itself with little more than rhetoric. This is the political reality in Enugu State under Governor Peter Mbah. Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, Governor Mbah has pursued governance with an intensity that…

You Can’t Beat BAT, Divided And Disunited… I.

Column, Opinion, Politics2027, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Chris Nwaokobia, Next Level, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

I was going to begin a new series called ATIKU: NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT COUNTRYFIRST before the new wave of defections over the weekend from the African Democratic Congress ADC to the National Democratic Congress NDC compelled this detour. My concern is not so much about partisanship, nor about anybody's place in the politricks of 2027, it is more about the lot of the Nigerian people. Sadly, to the All Progressive Congress APC and the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidency the masses do not matter… I truly hope we matter to the leaders of the opposition. I pray we…

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsBola Ahmed Tinubu, Nigeria, Nwaokobia Jnr, Opinion, Politics

I promised my Readers that I shall not close this series without addressing how NIGERIA HAS BECOME A COMMODITY FOR SALE under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu BAT, his chief accomplice in this larceny is the Senate President Rogue-Citizen Godswill Akpabio, and the Buyers are the President's Friends and Partners The Chagoury's. BAT and the Chagoury's have been friends and Partners since the Abacha days, don'ts forget that The Chagoury's were Abacha's accomplices in the looting of our collective patrimony. You can make your conjectures about why on earth BAT ran into exile under Abacha, was it a deal that went…

Beyond Partisanship To People Centred Policies And Programs: The Peter Mbah Paradigm.

Column, News, Opinion, PoliticsChris Nwaokobia, Enugu State, Nwaokobia Jnr, Peter Mba, Politics

In a political environment often shaped by sharp divisions and party loyalty, leadership that rises above partisanship is both rare and compelling. Peter Mbah represents a tiny class of Nigerian leaders whose governance philosophy is anchored less on political alignment and more on measurable service delivery. His emergence on the public stage reflects not just a transition from private enterprise to public office, but a deliberate effort to redefine leadership through results, inclusivity, and long-term vision. Mbah’s administrative style is deeply influenced by his background in business and strategic management. Before assuming public office, he built a reputation in the…
