Ginger Onwusibe Lacks the Moral Locus to Call Past Abia Administrations “Egypt” - Okoro

The phrase “Abia is not for sale; we will not return to Egypt” has recently been echoed loudly by supporters and beneficiaries of the present Abia State administration. As 2027 approaches, these voices have grown more defensive, insisting that Governor Alex Otti must not be voted out.

However, in the last few weeks, a new reality has begun to confront Abians, one that social media hype can no longer conceal. Many residents who returned home during the festive period confirmed what the government’s online cheerleaders desperately tried to mask: Abia has been largely governed by media validation rather than measurable development.

Public schools across the state remain in deplorable condition, despite claims that ₦82 billion has been expended on so-called “smart schools.” The much-celebrated Enyimba Hotel remains, by every objective standard, an audio project including over #60 spent in repainting of old Primary Health Centers PHC. These realities have forced even neutral observers to begin asking hard questions.

Yet, amid this awakening, one voice stands out for its sheer audacity, Ginger Onwusibe, the member representing Isiala Ngwa North and South in the House of Representatives, who has repeatedly described Abia’s past administrations as “Egypt.”

This is where credibility collapses.

Ginger Onwusibe has no moral or historical standing to make such a declaration. Since the return of democracy in 1999, he has done little outside government. From being a councillor in 1999 to local government chairman (three different times) to the State House of Assembly, and now the National Assembly, his entire adult life has revolved around public office. He only exited the Abia political structure briefly after losing party primaries, before conveniently re-emerging through the much-denied Obi wave—the same wave his political camp now disowns.

What moral right does a man who served successive administrations from 1999 till date now label them “Egypt”? If anything, Ginger Onwusibe was a chief servant of the Pharaohs, he now condemns.

Records exist verifiable records of payments routed through him, including funds allegedly drawn from the Ministry of Sports, reportedly running into ₦10 million monthly during the Ikpeazu administration. These funds did not translate into salary payments, pensions, or sustainable grassroots development. Instead, Abia resources were allegedly used to build and maintain political structures such as Otawike, which today lies in ruins, not because of reform, but because the current Governor refuses to fund parallel political groups outside Abia Arise.

More telling is the quiet truth insiders know well: Ginger Onwusibe has, in private, criticized the fraud, manipulation, and governance inconsistencies within the present administration, criticisms he lacks the courage to voice publicly.

National Union of Teacher (NUT) last week issued warning strike notices over unpaid arrears. Pensioners are reportedly being forced to forfeit parts of their gratuities. Abia remains one of the few states still publicly struggling with salaries and pensions, despite reportedly generating over ₦43 billion monthly. These are not inherited problems, they are current failures. A manipulative Government will not like Nigerians to know the level of mismanagement in Abia State

With over ₦1.4 trillion received in 32 months, can Ginger Onwusibe point to a single major road, hospital, water project, or transformative infrastructure completed by the Otti administration in his constituency? Can he identify one virgin project initiated and completed in his own local government?

The General Hospital at Okpuala Ngwa, located within his constituency, has been abandoned to decay. Can Ginger confidently send his security aides there today for medicare?

Even basic rural electrification has been neglected, villages around Umuehim( Governor’s adopted village )remain in darkness, while electricity is conveniently secured elsewhere for Governor’s use only .Is this the “New Abia” citizens are expected to applaud?

Abians are no longer naïve. Anyone who actively participated in the governance of Abia for 24 years has no moral authority to denounce those same years, including the current Governor who once oversaw Abia funds as an Executive Director at First Bank and later as MD of Diamond Bank, where state funds were domiciled under his watch.

What Abians demand today is verifiable evidence, not slogans. Development should be tangible, like a bank with Signature of growing from zero to 22 branches in 35 months, not theoretical.

Alex Otti is not the best Abia can offer, even if we concede that the past was imperfect. And characters like Ginger Onwusibe longstanding fixtures of Abia’s political establishment and serial defectors should exercise restraint when history is being discussed. He is not an observer; he is an integral part of that history. 1999 till date .

The masquerade has been unveiled.
2027 will not be won with sentiment, recycled slogans, or selective amnesia. Even Peter Obi has been discarded by those he helped into power.

The shock is coming. And this time, Abians are watching closely.

MINISTER OF EDUCATION ACCUSED OF DOUBLE STANDARD AT FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (TECHNICAL), Omoku | #IgbereTV

PORT HARCOURT, Rivers State – The process for appointing a substantive Bursar at the Federal College of Education (Technical), Omoku, has become a subject of controversy, with staff unions and stakeholders raising concerns over adherence to statutory procedures and calling for the intervention of the Federal Ministry of Education.

The dispute centers on the published eligibility criteria for the position and the procedures followed by the institution's Governing Council, chaired by Obong Stephen Leo Ntukepo.

At the heart of the matter is a letter from the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) dated 3rd April 2025, with reference number NCCE/HR/FCEO/27/11/153. A copy of the letter seen by our correspondent explicitly states that candidates for the Bursar position must be "Deputy Bursars on CONTDISS 15."

However, the subsequently published advertisement for the role contained a different clause, stating that “a candidate must be a Deputy Bursar/Accountant Cadre or its equivalent on CONTDISS 15.”

Petitions Allege Procedural Irregularities

In petitions filed to the Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, and seen by this newspaper, some stakeholders within the college have alleged that this alteration amounts to a manipulation of the process. They claim the change was made to favor a specific candidate, Mr. Victor Ifeanyi Ahiakwo, the college's Director of Audit.

The petitioners argue that the Audit Directorate is not part of the Bursary department and cite the Federal Government Gazette No. 72 of October 27, 2009, which they say restricts internal audit staff from assuming accounting functions.

Further allegations in the petitions include a claim that the Governing Council Chairman may have acted in contravention of Section 20(1) of the Federal College of Education Act 2023, which mandates the constitution of a Selection Board for such appointments. Petitioners state they have seen no evidence that such a board was formed.

It is also alleged that the interview venue was relocated from Omoku, Rivers State, to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, a decision critics question given the absence of a stated security crisis in Rivers State.

Stakeholders and Unions Demand Action

Citing these concerns, some staff unions within the college have begun consultations and are threatening industrial action if their demands are not met. They are calling on the NCCE, the Minister of Education, and the National Assembly to intervene.

Their primary demand is for the position to be re-advertised in strict compliance with the NCCE's vetted guidelines.

“The Federal College of Education (Technical), Omoku, is a national institution. Its processes must be transparent and beyond reproach,” a union representative stated on condition of anonymity.

Efforts for Clarification

When contacted for this report, the Acting Provost of the College, Dr. Ndu Amadike, confirmed he was in Abuja but declined to comment on the specific allegations, stating he could not do so over the phone.

All attempts to reach the Chairman of the Governing Council, Obong Stephen Leo Ntukepo, for his response were unsuccessful, as his mobile phone was switched off.

The Office of the Director for Colleges of Education at the Federal Ministry of Education has not yet provided an official statement on the matter at the time of filing this report.

The situation remains unresolved, with the scheduled interview for the position reportedly pending ministerial review.

BREAKING!!! Again, Emegha Launches Heavy Blow On Ebonyi PDP, Snatches ex-Chairman

The relentless efforts of the Ebonyi State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, to unite all critical stakeholders of the State around the ruling party ahead of 2027 has continued to yield positive results.

In line with his track-records, he has successfully convinced the former Ebonyi State Chairman of the People's Democratic party, (PDP), Hon. Tochukwu Okorie, to defect from the opposition party into the APC.

Chief Emegha had for months been wooing the last elected Chairman of the PDP in Ebonyi State to join other patriotic and selfless stakeholders of the state to rally support for our performing Governor, His Excellency Rt.Hon. Prince Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, and consolidate the gains of our democracy under his people -oriented administration.

After months of selfless reflections and considerations, Hon. Tochukwu Okorie has gallantry tendered his resignation from the People's Democratic party (PDP), and subsequently announced his readiness to defect to APC, and support the re-election of Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru and all APC candidates come 2027.

Okorie's decision to leave PDP and to join APC has dealt a big blow to the irredeemably perforated opposition in the State.

Born in Mgbom Okposi, Ohaozara Local Government Area of the State, Hon. Tochukwu Okorie was elected the Ebonyi State Chairman of the main opposition PDP in October 2021.

In his resignation letter dated July 4,2025, which he personally delivered to Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, the ex Ebonyi PDP Chairman said inter-alia "this decision is the outcome of intense consultation with my supporters across Ebonyi State who have expressed growing discontent with the party.

"We feel rather strongly that the party can no longer provided a credible platform for the actualization of our collective developmental, economic as well as political aspirations"

To avoid leaving anyone guessing his next line of action, Hon. Okorie thanked the party for the opportunity given to him to have served them in the capacity of State Chairman, and boldly announced his readiness to support Governor Francis Nwifuru in APC.

He also used the opportunity to extend an invitation to all the remnants of PDP in the state to join him in APC, and support the government in power to move the State forward.

The Ebonyi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the able Chairmanship of Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha is very happy with the decision of Hon. Tochukwu Okorie to join the APC.

The APC Chairman therefore congratulates Hon. Okorie for his bold decision and wish to use this opportunity to assure him of a level playing ground in the party.

He enjoins Hon Tochukwu and his teeming supporters to expect a date for their official defection and reception into the party very soon.

It's important to use this opportunity to emphasize that APC Ebonyi State is not interested in content creation and the childish clout-chasing of the opposition in the state. In no distant time, the party will welcome yet another political heavy weight from the same Old Ohaozara into the party. Content creators are however free to continue to massage their own ego.

The APC Chairman once again appeal to political actors in Ebonyi opposition to elevate collective interests of the state above personal ambitions, and come to support Governor Francis Nwifuru in APC for the greater interests of the State.

Prince Chijioke Agwu
Special Assistant (Media & Public Affairs) to Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha.

Onuigbo is very correct here. Tinubu should be supported for this new tax law to work out

This is a bitter truth coming from Obidigbo. Igbo elders should caution Gowon

Civil War: Come clean on your deals with Britain, Obidigbo tasks Gowon

Elder statesman and President of Osisioma Foundation, Dr Chike Obidigbo, has advised Nigeria’s former military Head of State, Retd General Yakubu Gowon, to use the remaining days of his eventful life to make peace with God and humanity.

Obidigbo noted that as a Christian the pursuit of such ends should be uppermost in Gowon’s heart at this point in his life’s journey. He regretted that shortly after a former Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, released his autobiography “A Journey In Service,” Gowon had been making confusing and contradictory public statements about Nigeria’s civil war that tend to inspire hate rather than heal the country.

Recall that the Zaria-born former Head of State, had, in the course of appearances in national television talked about the genesis of Nigeria versus Biafra Civil War.

Gowon had pointed out that the collapse of the Aburi Accord and Lt. Colonel Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s insistence on regional military command led to the war, adding that at the time of the meeting he had fever and didn’t know how Ojukwu cornered him into signing what he did not agree with.

But, describing Gowon’s explanations as absolute hogwash, Obidigbo remarked that at his age, Gowon should be telling Nigerians the truth and nothing but the truth about the war, just as Babangida did.

“One thing Gowon should be very clear about is the truth. Though Gowon may not have wanted the war, forces beyond him particularly British and Fulani interests compelled him to renege on the agreement entered at Aburi.

“And, until the former head of state makes these facts known through public confession, his soul may not experience peace. Those of us who happened to be a little close to the then Governor of Eastern region, Lt. Colonel Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, knew that Ojukwu never ever wanted that war.

“Ojukwu never wanted Biafra to secede from Nigeria. He made this very clear to a team from the British Embassy in Lagos led by the then British High Commissioner in Enugu, Mr Parker, alongside the representatives of Shell Petroleum, who visited him shortly before the declaration of Biafra.

“They tried everything possible to convince Ojukwu to secede. Ojukwu gave them three reasons why Biafra cannot secede. One was that the Igbo, being very itinerant people, needed the space provided by Nigeria to ply their trade.

“Secondly, he told his visitors that the Eastern region did not have the weapons and armament to prosecute a war, adding that the cohesion in the then Nigeria military would make it odd for the soldiers to confront each other in a war,” Obidigbo narrated.

He pointed out that while the same British was compelling Gowon to reject the Aburi agreement, they made some offers to Ojukwu through the British High Commissioner and Representatives of Shell.

“Britain assured Ojukwu that they will talk Nigeria out of any plan to fight Biafra if Ojukwu agrees to secede. They disclosed that the huge arrears of royalties accruable to Nigeria from Shell, would be paid to Ojukwu in case of any eventuality.
“That Gowon is still hiding these facts is very unfair and very unfortunate. As a Christian, he should stop telling lies, and come out plain with the truth of what transpired so that God and humanity will forgive him and create a good passage for him in the journey into eternity,” the Elder states man stated.

While reiterating that Colonel Ojukwu never caused the war, Obidigbo said Gowon’s naivety coupled with the insistence of Britain and Fulani elements in Nigeria forced him to rely on the deceptive false promises of imperialist agents to plunge the country into war.

“Ojukwu informed Gowon that the security of life and property of his people can no longer be guaranteed in Nigeria, stressing that since Nigeria was not ready to go into destruction, let us go our separate ways.

“It is the same Gowon that brought the war down to us and did everything possible with the help of the British to cause massive genocide, such that if it was possible, they would have cleared out everything Igbo on the face of the earth.
“It is ironical that the same British that caused total genocide and blockade against Biafra, are crying out that Israel is visiting genocide on Palestinians,” he lamented.

Obidigbo wondered why the former Head of State could not admit that he was a mere puppet of his British and Fulani masters and apologise for his mistakes, instead of opening up old wounds.

He stated, “I think Gowon is doing much harm to himself with his recent public utterances. He should be advised to use the remaining days of his life to package his reputation properly.

“It is regrettable that a man who presided over the affairs of this country at a very young age could not with the benefit of hindsight admit that he was naïve and unprepared for the onerous task that was trust on him.

“He was ill-prepared for the task of managing the affairs of the multi-ethnic new republic that was still held on the juggler by the exiting colonial masters.

“Now, instead of documenting his experiences in a book form, just like Babangida did, Gowon has continued to embarrass himself further by making unsubstantiated claims when most of his fellow actors are no longer available to rebut his claims.
“Some people have pointed out that Gowon’s naivety brought the civil war upon Nigeria. His recent utterances seem to underscore the point that he was indeed an accidental leader bereft of purpose or creative ideas to build a nation.

“Nigerians are yet to hear Gowon’s suggestions for addressing the endless bloodletting in his Benue Plateau axis. Rather, he prefers to take Nigerians back to the painful past which was a major contributor to the missed opportunities for genuine and enduring statecraft.”

He noted that with what is currently happening in the former Benue Plateau, Gowon will remember how Ojukwu told him that the way his (Ojukwu’s) people are being massacred for no just cause is the same way his own people will face the music at the appropriate time. 
  “Who knows, he must have been shamed by Babangida’s contributions to nation building exposes his nine years of pogrom, death and division in the country

“Gowon’s current line of reasoning retains the lack of distinction, statesmanship, and poise that defined his nine years of headship of Nigeria’s first military administration. 

  “I was taken aback when I heard the former Head of State say, in his Arise Television interview, that ‘we just went there, as far as we were concerned, to meet as officers and then agree to get back home and resolve the problem at home. That was my understanding, but that was not Ojukwu’s understanding.’

“As Igbo, we have continued to lick our wounds, but the pain from this continuing attempt to slant the narrative against an innocent people goes deep. Babangida’s book has really pricked the conscience of those who are prepared to confess their sins and seek forgiveness for their attacks on the Igbo people.”

Heavy Rainfall Destroys Farm Of Journalist In Ebonyi State (Photos)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a6ZB_xasoU

Ebonyi-born journalist and Editor, Wisdom Nwedene has cried out after heavy rainfall destroyed his farm inputs worth over 2.5 million naira despite the economic hardship in the country.

Earlier, on Monday, the journalist had taken to his official Facebook account, Wisdom Nwedene to share pictures and videos of how the Sunday night heavy rain had flooded his farm, covering his heaps and cultivated seeds.

In the video, the planted seeds which had started germinating and growing healthily were being swept away by the overflowing flood.

According to him, the farm located at Igbeagu in Izzi Local Government of Ebonyi State never witnessed such an erosion.

Subsequently, on Tuesday morning, he would share heartbreaking photos and videos of the game completely swept away after the flood looked to have dried.

The inputs; Cassava, yams, vegetables worth over N2.5m were completely destroyed and nothing could be seen.

Some of them that were already growing seeds would be seen hanging in tiny soils holding some tiny roots that wouldn't let go easily.

"I am completely heartbroken. I don't know what to do. I spent money on that farm and now everything is gone," he lamented.


He called on good government and good spirited individuals to come to his Aide.

Some social media users have shared their condolences to him stating how devastating such experience could be over such incident.

A farmer who condoled with him disclosed that "as a farmer", it is not a funny experience. He further calculated how the heaps cost no little money in settling labourers. He also said the seeds do not come freely as one has to buy them and work hard to see them develop to the point the Editor's had developed in the videos and photos of the incident.
