“With the new leadership team now in place Peter Obi must now get his working team on every aspect of national life to go to work providing alternatives to the current order where the people do not seem to matter. Not to do that with vigor in the face of current burdens of no petrol, contemplated higher taxes, food insecurity and collapsing infrastructure while the powerful buy more presidential jets, strange looking Limos and splurge on mansions continue challenge moral sensitivities, will be to shirk duty.”
“How do you spell relief: UMUAHIA. In that Abia city today Labour Party showed it could get its house in order and put aside those putting themselves ahead of the common good and focus squarely on the Nigeria project.
