Between Kalu And Kanu, By Emeka Obasi
Everything must be done to move the South – East Geo Political Zone to the next level. This is an area so blessed with human and natural resources, one of the three legs meant to balance Project Nigeria which unfortunately, continues to suffer neglect…..CONTINUE READING....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu and Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra ( IPOB ) Nnamdi Kanu share not just the same Igbo background, they are from Abia State. Only a mad man will deny his brother in times of turbulence.
I am encouraged by recent moves by Kalu to find a solution to the Kanu imbroglio. There will continue to be agitations as long as the law remains an ass. However, there is absolutely nothing wrong when politics is thrown overboard in the bid to achieve peace.
Kalu’s idea is to use Peace in the South – East Project ( PISE – P ) to do things differently. On December 28, 2023, he dragged prominent Nigerians to his Bende Federal Constituency. It was not a show of power, there is more to it than meets the eye.
Let me salute Abia State governor, Alex Otti, for being a true statesman. He belongs to the Labour Party while Kalu is a member of the All Progressives Congress. As the Deputy Speaker’s governor, his presence earned the host more respect among his colleagues.
This is the kind of leadership the South – East needs, to show the world that the Eastern Region of Michael Okpara can be relived in the present dispensation. Soon, by their actions, the real movers and shakers of the society will be known.
Kalu’s campaign headquarters is in Uzuakoli. This is remarkable because that town tells, to some extent, the story of the Igbo man. It is a shame that as I write, there is no functional refinery in Nigeria. Nearly sixty years ago, Biafra, attacked from all flanks, built refineries in less than two months. One was located in Uzuakoli.
Resilience was shown in Uzuakoli. Biafrans threw in everything to defend Umuahia, some 14 miles away, where Commander – in – Chief, Emeka Ojukwu, put up after the fall of Enugu in 1967. They defied bombs and artillery fire from the Federals.
Commander of the 8 Commando Brigade, Emeka Ananaba, who later became Deputy Governor of Abia State was involved. Tim Onwuatuegwu and Joseph Achuzia set aside their rivalry while Army Chief, Alex Madiebo, coordinated the battle.
Uzuakoli Sector was bloody. Biafra lost Oguta Boy, renamed after the Panhard armoured vehicle was captured in Oguta, from the Federals in 1968. It was emotional when a memorial service was conducted for it. The young man in command, Sylvanus Eta, from Ugep, survived with other crew members. One of them was known as Pope Pius.

‘He Has Remembered The Poor’ – Oshiomhole Speaks On Tinubu’s ₦70,000 Allowance,
The Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole, has praised President Bola Tinubu’s administration, insisting that the government is performing well and deserves recognition for its efforts.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Oshiomhole specifically pointed to the approval of an additional ₦70,000 transport allowance for workers, saying the decision demonstrates the President’s concern for the welfare of ordinary Nigerians.
The former Edo State governor made the remarks on Thursday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He argued that the allowance would provide significant relief to low-income earners, particularly workers who previously earned ₦70,000 monthly.
“I think this government is doing well. If a man who was on ₦70,000 now is given ₦70,000 addition that makes it ₦140,000 for him it’s a hundred percent increase and if you know what ₦10,000 means for the real masses, you’ll appreciate that Tinubu has shown that he cares,” Oshiomhole said.
The Federal Government approved the monthly ₦70,000 transport support for workers across all levels for an initial six-month period beginning in November 2026.
The decision followed a meeting with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on October 27.
During the interview, Oshiomhole also criticised the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, under which former Vice President Atiku Abubakar served.
He alleged that the administration struggled to guarantee the regular payment of workers’ salaries.
The senator further argued that the 2027 presidential election would offer Nigerians a choice between Tinubu, whom he credited with unifying the exchange rate, and Atiku, whose administration he accused of maintaining multiple exchange rates that favoured people based on their connections.
