  Opinion   Abia Government House Saga: Lies, Fetish Beliefs, and the Otti Administration’s Shameful Retreat by Obinna Oriaku | #NwokeukwuMascot In the past three weeks, the Abia State Government under Governor Alex Otti has found itself trapped in a whirlwind of public scrutiny following a pointed interview by Rufai Oseni on Arise TV. At the heart of this controversy is the seat of power itself the Government House in Umuahia and the various contradictory narratives that the administration has deployed in a bid to obscure the real story. It all began with a curious claim: that Governor Otti had not moved into the Umuahia Government House because the structure was “unfit for purpose.” This claim quickly lost credibility after a joint media inspection disproved the assertion. Not deterred, the administration pivoted to another excuse alleging that the building’s proximity to private residences made it unsuitable. When that, too, failed to hold water, the administration stooped...

VIDEO: The Progressive Lies of a Single Interview | #NwokeukwuMascot

  Opinion   The New Abia and the Audacity of Lies and Deception | #NwokeukwuMascot   One well-known pitfall of lying or mastering the art of deception is that once you choose that path, you inevitably become trapped in a cycle fabricating more lies just to sustain the earlier ones. This unfortunate reality is vividly exemplified in the recent interview of Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, with Arise TV’s Rufai Oseni. In an attempt to justify why he has continued to run the affairs of government from his private residence for over two years, Governor Otti gave no less than five conflicting reasons, all revolving around the state-of-the-art Government House complex built and commissioned by the immediate past administration but now abandoned. During the interview, the governor claimed that while the ground floor of the three-storey building was fully furnished, the remaining floors were not even plastered. This assertion prompted Rufai Oseni to visit the premises, accompa...

Umahi Draws Fire for Political Jab During Ministerial Briefing | #NwokeukwuMascot

Image
  News   ABUJA — In what many have described as an unnecessary political outburst, Minister of Works David Umahi on Friday used a ministerial platform meant for policy briefing to launch a verbal attack on the Labour Party and its supporters, popularly known as “Obidients”. The former Ebonyi State Governor, while highlighting the achievements of his ministry during a Ministerial Sectoral Briefing in Abuja, diverted from his prepared remarks to deride the opposition party. “I don’t want to be disobedient or be a member of the Labour Party that are very disobedient,” Umahi stated, before commending his Minister of State, the Permanent Secretary, and other directors in his ministry. “But greater commendation goes to Mr. President,” he added. The comment, which appeared to be a thinly veiled swipe at supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, has drawn criticism for politicizing a governance platform and misusing the opportun...
