  News   Abia State Government’s Demolition of Ekeoha Shopping Center Sparks Outrage Amid Economic Hardship | #NwokeukwuMascot File Image The Alex Otti-led Abia State Government is facing heavy criticism following the demolition of the Ekeoha Shopping Center Market in Aba, a move that many residents and traders have labeled as ill-timed and insensitive given the prevailing economic hardships. The demolition, which began earlier this week, has left hundreds of traders distraught and uncertain about their livelihoods as the government pushes forward with its plans to modernize the market. Recall we had earlier reported that the High Court of Abia State, presided over by Justice C.K.

  Politics   Barr Nyesom Wike | Gov Sim Fubara Rivers Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has directed all 23 local government chairmen in the state to contest the forthcoming local government elections under the banner of the All People’s Party (APP). The decision comes in the wake of Governor Fubara losing control of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) structure in Rivers State to former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike. The local government elections are scheduled for October 5, 2024. Wike has maintained significant control over the PDP structure in the state, causing friction between the two leaders. The power struggle has culminated in Governor Fubara opting to back the APP, a move many see as a bid to counter Wike’s dominance in the state. With the local government elections fast approaching, this move is expected to reshape the political dynamics in Rivers State. The APP, previously a lesser-known party in the region, now stands to gain
