These traditional rulers, who are expected to be the conscience of their communities, have paradoxically thrown their weight behind Governor Hope Uzodinma for a second term. The endorsement is startling given that it arrives in the context of mounting security challenges, conspicuous failures in governance, and a myriad of human rights abuses that have characterised Uzodinma’s regime. This spectacle raises unnerving questions about the ethical compass guiding Nigeria’s traditional institutions, particularly as the …

In the land of Imo State, Nigeria, a looming fiscal disaster casts an ominous shadow, highlighting a governance crisis that reaches far beyond mere numbers. A staggering debt of $293 million hangs over the people.

July 17, 2023 4:53 am

It is no longer news that Imolites will head to the polls again in November this year to assert their views on their political destiny. Following the January 2020 judicial ‘magic’ that ushered in the present administration, a preponderance of voters who are understandably dissatisfied with that scenario are gearing up to make a loud statement.

The decision of the Supreme Court to manipulate the election of Emeka Ihedioha in its judgment of January 14, 2020, and impose an unpopular Governor on the flabbergasted masses not only shattered the political equation in the state but also moved the election cycle. …
