PDP BoT Leadership Change: Wabara Out, Ohuabunwa In | #NwokeukwuMascot

Image
  News   The leadership of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has witnessed a major shake-up as Senator Mao Ohuabunwa has been elected and officially sworn in as the new Chairman of the board, replacing former Senate President, Senator Adolphus Wabara . The development comes months after the Abia State chapter of the PDP suspended and subsequently expelled Senator Wabara over what the party described as anti-party activities and gross misconduct. His removal from the party effectively disqualified him from continuing in his capacity as BoT Chairman. Senator Ohuabunwa’s emergence marks a new phase for the PDP’s top advisory body, which plays a crucial role in guiding the party’s leadership and ensuring internal cohesion. His election was reportedly met with wide approval among party faithful, who view him as a bridge-builder and a loyal party man with vast legislative and political experience. Speaking after his swearing-in, Ohuabunwa expr...

Why We Went to Court: The Struggle to Save PDP from Itself Elder Abraham Amah | #NwokeukwuMascot

Image
  Politic   There comes a time in the life of every institution when silence becomes betrayal when watching things fall apart quietly feels like a sin against one’s own conscience. For us myself and my colleagues our decision to go to court over the direction of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was not driven by ego, ambition, or factional loyalty. It was born out of conviction. We acted not to destroy, but to redeem; not to divide, but to heal. We love this party. We have lived its ideals, defended its legacy, and believed in its promise. We were there when the PDP was not just a political party but a national movement a unifying voice across tribes, faiths, and regions. But we have also watched, with great pain, how the light of that noble vision has dimmed under the weight of arrogance, impunity, and disregard for its own constitution. So, when the party decided to embark on a National Convention without resolving the unresolved the invalidated state an...

Gov Otti at the Verge of Swallowing His Vomit as He Secretly Reaches Out to Presidency Over Defection Plans | #NwokeukwuMascot

Image
  News   Fresh indications have emerged that Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti , may be on the verge of defecting to the All Progressives Congress (APC)  a move that contradicts his earlier public stance and anti-establishment rhetoric. According to reliable sources, the Governor has been making covert overtures to the Presidency in recent weeks, exploring possible terms for his defection to the ruling APC. The development comes amid mounting internal crises within the Labour Party (LP), which recently suspended Otti over allegations of highhandedness and unilateral decisions that have deepened divisions in the party. Political observers say the Governor has become increasingly jittery following the wave of high-profile defections to the APC across the Southeast, and the growing perception that the Labour Party is fast losing grip both in Abia and at the national level. Adding to the Governor’s unease is the weighty petition currently before the Economic and Financial Cr...
