Abia State Media Should Stop Misleading Narratives On Deputy Speaker - Centre

Image
The media attacks on the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, regarding the 2024 national budget’s alleged neglect of the South East, has been described as uncalled for. This was expressed in a statement by the  Chinedu Ogah Media Centre, made available to our correspondent on Monday February 19, 2025. "The role of the media, particularly bloggers and journalists, is to inform, educate, and hold leaders accountable.  "However, recent narratives circulating in some quarters of the Abia State media space concerning the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, regarding the 2024 national budget’s alleged neglect of the South East, are not only misleading but also unfair.

Between bloodline, heritage and political loyalty: Is Turaki Adamawa at crossroads?

Image
By Zunnurain Abdul  A compelling and delicate discourse has recently emerged, drawing attention to the complex interplay of family, heritage, and political allegiances. The focal point of this debate lies between Aliyu Atiku Abubakar, the Turaki Adamawa and son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and one Madu Maiha, a public commentator. At the heart of the issue is the perceived conflict between personal loyalty to one's family and heritage, and the pull of in-laws and private relationships, particularly within the shifting dynamics of Nigerian political power. This situation is uniquely complicated by the longstanding prominence of both the Atiku and Ribadu families. These two powerful northern dynasties not only share immense political capital and traditional influence, but also a marital connection. Yet despite their familial bond, they now find themselves standing on opposite ends of the national political spectrum. Nuhu Ribadu, currently Nigeria’s National Se...
