Abia Still in Bondage: ‘Egyptian’ Leadership Thrives in the Promised Land
There is, in truth, no fundamental difference between the so-called “Old Abia” and the “New Abia,” except that those who parade themselves as the new Abia are far more sophisticated in packaging, optics, and sustaining propaganda. Beneath the glossy narratives lies the same familiar rot.
If anything, the current administration is performing worse, only that it has mastered the art of concealment, especially in the optics of governance. I recall vividly in 2022 when APC stakeholders convened all governorship aspirants at Senator Adieje’s residence in Asokoro for presentations aimed at screening and streamlining the field. The aspirants present at that meeting were Alex Otti, Uche Ogah, Paul Ikonne, Emeka Atuma, and myself.
At that gathering, I shared with fellow aspirants an extract from Abia State’s budget performance report, which revealed that the Ikpeazu administration spent approximately ₦1.2 billion on private jets, ticketing and travels Many of us were genuinely disappointed. We believed that reliance on commercial flights would have saved Abians millions, funds that could have been channelled into real development.
Fast-forward to today, the Abia State Government has reportedly spent over ₦18 billion on private jet services and travels. The only difference now is an internal rule barring officials from taking pictures that expose their movements by private jet. In the past, officials proudly posed with pilots to showcase their luxury travels. As one of our revered leaders, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, once said, the more things change, the more they remain the same.
Ironically, credit must be given where it is due. Thanks to the institutional reforms of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Abia’s combined state and local government revenue has risen astronomically, from about ₦8 billion to a staggering ₦60 billion monthly, as reflected in the Q4 2025 Abia State Budget Performance Report (October to December).
It therefore follows logically that if Alex Otti had assumed office in 2015, when total revenue stood at a paltry ₦3.6 billion, his administration, judging by current financial recklessness, would have performed far worse than previous governments.
This raises a fundamental question. Despite receiving about ₦60 billion monthly, why has the Otti government refused to fully implement the ₦70,000 new minimum wage? If not for sheer wickedness, why would a government fully aware of the economic hardship caused by ongoing reforms deliberately deny workers their lawful wages?
A Government elected on the Labour Party platform, one that ought to champion workers’ welfare, has shockingly turned around to shortchange its own workforce.
While APC and Mr. President bears the brunt of public anger arising from these tough reforms. Governors conveniently take credit for the gains, particularly in Abia. As far back as August 2025, I raised alarm over the injustice at Abia State University Teaching Hospital (ABSUTH), where junior staff earned as little as ₦29,000 monthly, while newly recruited nurses were paid ₦80,000. Meanwhile, their counterparts in Imo State earn up to ₦300,000 despite facing equal or greater occupational hazards.
The public exposure of this scandal embarrassed the Abia State Government into action. A memo for upward review was hurriedly raised, and within days the institution’s management worked round the clock to implement the ₦70,000 minimum wage, still far below what other states now pay, ₦90,000, ₦104,000, and above.
More recently, I discovered that road sweepers engaged by the Abia State Government (Abia state environmental protection agency)earn a miserable ₦23,000 monthly, while their supervisors earn ₦47,000. Staff of the Abia State Advertising Agency reportedly earn ₦55,000. To be clear, environmental sanitation is one area where this government has performed comparatively well. However, it borders on cruelty that road sweepers, mostly widows, widowers, and orphans, are subjected to such degrading wages, often unpaid promptly, despite the health risks involved. Their counterparts in Enugu State earn ₦80,000, while supervisors earn ₦120,000.
How does the Otti government expect Abia sweepers to survive on ₦23,000 in today’s Nigeria? Are they not employees of the state or its agents? How can a government claim to be fighting poverty while institutionalizing starvation wages?
During a particular National Economic council (NEC)meeting last year 2025, though chaired by the Vice President, the President , Sen Ahmed Tinubu, attended in person simply to tell the Governors to water the grassroots. This means cascade these huge funds at their disposal to the poorest of the poor in their various States.
It is estimated that the total monthly wage bill of Abia State and its local governments does not exceed ₦10 billion. What, then, is being done with the remaining ₦50 billion monthly revenue?
I still cannot comprehend why this Government finds it so difficult to improve the welfare of workers and pensioners. Their constant excuse is inherited arrears, yet they boast of paying salaries on the 28th of every month, as though prompt payment of inadequate wages is a favour. This is happening even as federal allocations have increased significantly.
The painful truth remains. Had this administration governed Abia in 2015 with only ₦3.6 billion monthly revenue, the outcome would have been catastrophic.
The “Egyptians” may well be laughing at us. Nothing substantial has changed, except the reported ₦560 million monthly spent on skit makers to manufacture an imaginary Abia adorned with painted roads. Workers and pensioners denied gratuities may even remember their days in “Egypt” with nostalgia. They were owed, yes, but once paid, the money still meant something.
To date, arrears remain unpaid at Abia Polytechnic, Ogbonnaya Onu Polytechnic. ABSU lecturers were paid only fractions of their outstanding salaries, labelled as full and final settlement. Today, a professor at Abia State University earns about ₦520,000 monthly, while counterparts in sister state universities earn up to ₦1.2 million. Many professors in Abia State University are effectively paid on senior lecturers’ scales elsewhere, not even reader level.
This reality explains the pervasive hunger in Abia, even among workers. The Government shut down informal survival channels under the TSA regime, which previously helped families cope even when owed for months.
The administration campaigned on prompt salary payments and improved welfare to increase the velocity of money in Abia State. Yet that velocity remains elusive when 99 percent of contractors in Abia are non-Abians with no offices in the state. The money leaves Abia almost as soon as it arrives, fueling hunger despite ₦60 billion monthly revenue.
And on the The Poor Quality of Work on the Umuikaa–Owerrinta 4km Road; Last week, I visited my village and observed the slow and substandard pace of work on the Umuikaa–Owerrinta Truck A federal road being undertaken by Abia State Government. Meanwhile, Arab Contractors, handling the Imo bridge to Imo Airport junction, is delivering far superior quality.
The rush to commence this 4km stretch appears linked to the ₦15 billion claimed as compensation in Abia State’s 2024 financial report. My late father’s house was demolished, and I had no objection, believing it served development. However, I was shocked to receive just ₦1 million as compensation from the ₦15 billion claimed.
We conducted independent inquiries among affected homeowners from Umuikaa to Owerrinta bridge. Our findings showed that only about ₦230 million was paid to actual beneficiaries of those house owners along that corridor out of the ₦15 billion claimed as compensation in 2024.
I still wonder why a government that swiftly paid ₦15 billion in compensation in 2024 and ₦14.5 billion for land and housing in 2025, though many land owners complained about non receipts of payments till date cannot adequately fund a major road project. Dangote cement trailers were seen manually discharging chippings, with young boys using shovels to spread them, an appalling sight for a Trunk A road. ( pictures attached)
Why engage a local contractor for such a critical road or even use direct labour while contract sums remain shrouded in secrecy? It would have been far better to allow Arab Contractors to handle the project. Even the drainage near the bridge was manually excavated.
The real difference between Egypt and this supposed Canaan is that, before, funds were allegedly used to maintain key stakeholders beyond being used to run the Government. Today, one individual allegedly pockets everything while telling supporters, “we dont share money ” Who is deceiving who.
As Phyno sang, you cannot counsel a rigid leader. But Ekwedike will continue to hold this government accountable. The days ahead promise to be very revealing.
On a lighter note, I watched Abia State Executive Council members excitedly take photos of Enugu State’s 360-room Marriott Hotel project during the South East Development Commission stakeholders’ meeting last week. I laughed in Swahili. Back home, Enyimba Hotel remains a 3D drawing after four announced take-off dates.
The penchant for the media aides of the Governor to use exchange rate as an excuse why they are yet to have any legacy project in Abia after three years is laughable. Gov Hope Uzodinma just commissioned 15MVA Orashi Power on record time using the same Nigerian Naira without noise and kit makers.
It was refreshing to see them step out of Umuahia and witness governance in another state beyond audio promises and endless MOUs.
Obinna Oriaku
Former Commissioner for Finance Abia State 2015 to 2019.
Kwankwaso said this when he featured on the News Agency of Nigeria Personality Interview Series in Abuja on Sunday.
He explained that his experience from the 2023 election had helped him understand Obi better and that he was convinced that both of them could work together in the interest of the country.
Kwankwaso, a former Kano State governor, said the decision was also influenced by the need to allow the South to retain the presidency for another term after the completion of the eight-year tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“People learn every day and that is why experience is very important. In 2023, we attempted to work together and at that particular point, I knew little about Peter Obi.
“But over these last four years, I was able to learn a lot and realised that Peter is somebody that I could work together with,” he said.
He said the decision was reached after consultations with members of the Kwankwasiyya Movement, supporters of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and the Obidient Movement.
He said the groups believed that the country needed a balanced ticket capable of attracting support from both the North and the South.
Kwankwaso said the security challenges confronting the country, alongside declining agricultural productivity and deteriorating infrastructure, had further strengthened his resolve to support a political arrangement capable of bringing democratic change.
He said economic hardship had particularly affected farmers, especially in Northern Nigeria, where agricultural production had become increasingly difficult and unprofitable.
The former Defence Minister said the dilapidation of infrastructure across the country, except in some areas such as Lagos, was another reason for accepting to pair with Obi.
He said the current situation required the kind of democratic change that Nigerians sought in 2015, adding that the need for such change was now greater.
Kwankwaso said the Obi-Kwankwaso ticket would provide a combination of regional balance, competence and credibility.
“Nobody, no ticket can beat our own in terms of credibility, in terms of capacity and of course, in terms of love for the country; even in terms of empathy for the poor that are suffering across the country today,” he said.
He explained that agreeing to serve as vice-president was not a setback for him, despite his extensive political experience, including serving as deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, governor, minister and senator.
“I have never been the vice-president. I think it is a step forward despite all the things you counted,” he said.
Kwankwaso said his decision was based on broader national interest rather than personal ambition, stressing that public office should primarily be viewed as an opportunity to serve.
“To me, being in government is to serve. I don’t have to be president. I don’t have to even be vice-president. These are things that are in the hands of Almighty Allah.
He said the agreement with Obi was for the South to produce the president for one term, after which the political arrangement would return to the North.
Kwankwaso cited historical examples of political leaders who had accepted positions below what they could have attained, including Sir Ahmadu Bello, who chose to remain Premier of Northern Nigeria rather than becoming Prime Minister.
He also said Nigerians should understand that service could be rendered at different levels, including as councillor, local government chairman, legislator, governor, minister, vice-president or president.
According to him, political leaders should be prepared to serve wherever they are needed, rather than considering certain offices beneath them.
He dismissed claims by political opponents that his political engagements with the All Progressives Congress (APC) or other parties were contingent on securing either the presidential or vice-presidential ticket.
Kwankwaso said discussions he held with President Bola Tinubu after the 2023 election were about working together and not about abandoning the NNPP or securing a particular position.
He said he had previously played a major role in the APC’s electoral victory, particularly through the votes recorded in Kano in 2015, but became disappointed with the party’s leadership after the election.
The former governor said his confidence in the Obi-Kwankwaso alliance was strengthened by what he described as Obi’s commitment to fairness, justice and national unity.
He said the arrangement would also ensure that the North would not be disadvantaged, stressing that the one-term understanding was important in securing the confidence of his supporters.
Kwankwaso said he was confident that Obi would respect the agreement and work with him as a partner rather than treat the vice-president as a “spare tyre.”
He said his experience as deputy speaker, minister and governor had taught him the importance of allowing deputies to function effectively.
According to him, a president or governor who gives his deputy meaningful responsibilities ultimately strengthens the government because the success of the deputy also benefits the principal.
He said he was therefore comfortable with the proposed arrangement and had confidence that Obi would allow him to contribute meaningfully to governance.
Kwankwaso said the alliance would prioritise competence in the appointment of ministers and other officials, with power shared according to the needs of the country rather than for political patronage.
“Power will be shared according to the needs of the country. We should not be in a hurry to go and take anybody on the streets or anybody we remember.
“We will make sure that we have competent people because from our experience, the president and vice-president cannot do it alone,” he said.
The former governor said an NDC administration would need technocrats, professionals and experienced politicians capable of addressing Nigeria’s complex challenges. (NAN)

ABAKALIKI, Ebonyi State — The people of Ori Agba zone in Ishielu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State have declared their unalloyed support for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for the Ezza North/Ishielu Federal Constituency, Chief Hon. Egah Paul Chidiebere, popularly known as Double Chief, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The declaration was made yesterday when political stakeholders and residents from Ntezi, Okpoto and Agba communities gathered at the country home of Hon. Agu Chigozie Agu, the PDP contestant for Ishielu South State Constituency and Chairman of the PDP in Ishielu Local Government Area.
The gathering provided an opportunity for stakeholders from the Ori Agba zone to express their concerns over what they described as years of inadequate representation and marginalisation of Ishielu Local Government Area in the distribution of constituency projects and other dividends of democracy.
Addressing the gathering, members of the group argued that the federal constituency, which comprises Ezza North and Ishielu Local Government Areas, should benefit from equitable political representation and development.
They particularly expressed concern that Ezza North has occupied the federal constituency seat for about 12 years and indicated their desire for Ishielu Local Government Area to have an opportunity to produce the representative.
According to the stakeholders, the issue was not about antagonising Ezza North but about ensuring fairness and rotation between the two local government areas that make up the constituency.
The group therefore rallied behind Chief Egah Paul Chidiebere, describing him as a candidate capable of providing effective representation and attracting meaningful development to the constituency.
The political gathering also witnessed a wider endorsement of the PDP’s gubernatorial candidate in Ebonyi State, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii.
The Ori Agba stakeholders said their decision to support Odii was aimed at pursuing what they described as a strategic political objective—ensuring that the people of the area secured effective representation at both the federal and state levels.
They maintained that the emergence of Odii as governor in 2027 would provide an opportunity for a new approach to governance and development in Ebonyi State.
The stakeholders expressed optimism that an Odii-led administration would promote equitable development across the state and ensure that rural communities and constituencies receive greater attention in the implementation of government programmes.
They subsequently urged voters across Ntezi, Okpoto and Agba communities to remain united and mobilise massively for the PDP candidates in the 2027 elections.
The endorsement is expected to add another dimension to the emerging political contest in the Ezza North/Ishielu Federal Constituency, particularly as stakeholders continue to debate the principle of rotation and equitable representation between the two local government areas.
For the Ori Agba stakeholders, however, the message from the gathering was clear: they want greater political representation for Ishielu and are prepared to support candidates they believe can deliver that objective.
The group also called on PDP supporters in Ishielu and across Ebonyi State to remain committed to the party and work collectively towards its success in the 2027 general elections.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Accord Party have been accused of engaging in widespread vote-buying across Osun State, with agents of both parties allegedly offering voters between N10,000 and N20,000 ahead of today’s governorship election.
Unlike previous elections, the alleged vote-buying reportedly began six days before the poll.
Some voters claimed that the parties also collected the bank account details of thousands of voters about a week before the election, with plans to transfer money to them after they cast their ballots.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party is being challenged by Bola Oyebamiji of the APC, Najeem Salaam of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and nine other candidates.
A total of 1,906,390 registered voters who have collected their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) are expected to participate in the election.
Findings by our correspondents revealed that agents of both Accord and the APC allegedly began distributing cash between Monday and Tuesday.
In some cases, the alleged inducement involved the distribution of food items and cash, with beneficiaries reportedly being asked to swear oaths promising to vote for the candidate of the party providing the items.
Our correspondents also came across viral videos purportedly showing supporters of Adeleke and Oyebamiji distributing cash, salt, rice and other items while urging beneficiaries not to betray them at the polls.
Ilesa
Voters in Ilesa alleged that the APC was distributing N20,000 to voters across polling units in Ilesa East, Ilesa West and Atakunmosa East Local Government Areas.
According to some beneficiaries, the money was being distributed at the residences of designated APC chieftains in various polling units.
The voters said the alleged distribution began on Tuesday and continued until Friday.
One beneficiary, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “I collected my N20,000 at the Bonnke area of Ilesa on Wednesday. The cash was in N1,000 and N500 denominations. We had over 200 voters and it was done unit by unit. I collected mine around 11am at the bungalow belonging to one of the APC chieftains in our unit.”
A human rights activist in Ilesa, who also spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, corroborated the allegation.
“At the Coca-Cola area, people were given N20,000 each at one particular storey building. But you have to show your voter card before being paid.
“At Abiola Avenue, APC members gave N20,000 to each voter. I was there. The storey building where the money was shared belongs to an APC leader in the area,” he alleged.
At Iroye and Imo areas of Ilesa, it was further alleged that APC supporters distributed rice and an undisclosed amount of money to voters.
“I saw them. They are APC supporters. They provided money and rice, but I don’t know the exact amount they were distributing. They were cursing the beneficiaries, saying it would not be well with them if they failed to vote for AMBO after collecting the money,” a student leader in Iroye said.
It was also alleged that while the APC was offering N20,000, Accord was distributing N10,000 to voters.
At Olowu Village in Atakunmosa East LGA, Accord was reportedly distributing N10,000 and asking beneficiaries to swear an oath of allegiance. A community leader said the alleged distribution began about three weeks ago.
The community leader further claimed that Accord leaders were distributing the money openly and without apparent fear of arrest.
Other residents in Ilesa also alleged that the ruling party had begun distributing N10,000 in Ifofin, Iloro, Okesa and other parts of the city since Tuesday.
Ahead of Saturday’s Osun State governorship election, the journey of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s governorship bid is one marked by a narrow defeat, a rerun loss, a legal battle and, ultimately, a major comeback.
Adeleke, the Accord Party candidate, first contested the Osun governorship election in 2018 under the Peoples Democratic Party.
The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola
The election produced a remarkably tight race between PDP’s Adeleke and the All Progressives Congress candidate, Gboyega Oyetola.
At the initial count, Adeleke polled 254,698 votes, while Oyetola scored 254,345 votes, giving the PDP candidate a lead of just 353 votes.
However, the Independent National Electoral Commission declared the election inconclusive after cancelling 3,498 votes in some polling units across Ife North, Ife South and Orolu Local Government Areas.
Explaining the decision, the Returning Officer, Prof Joseph Fuwape, said the margin between the two leading candidates was lower than the number of cancelled votes.
“Since the margin between the two leading candidates was lower than the registered cancelled votes, the election had to be declared inconclusive,” Fuwape said.
INEC consequently scheduled a rerun in seven polling units.
The rerun that changed everything
The rerun was held across four local government areas on September 27, 2018.
Oyetola won the rerun, polling 1,160 votes against Adeleke’s 325 votes.
The additional votes overturned Adeleke’s initial advantage, and Oyetola was eventually declared governor-elect.
Oyetola finished with 255,505 votes, while Adeleke ended with 255,023 votes — a difference of just 482 votes.
Adeleke rejected the result and vowed to challenge it.
Speaking through his brother, Dele Adeleke, he insisted that the PDP would seek legal redress.
“Adeleke’s mandate can’t be stolen, it will be retrieved. The wish of the people will stand at the end,” he said.
The defeat did not end Adeleke’s governorship ambition.
Four years later, Adeleke returned
Adeleke returned to the race in 2022, again facing Oyetola, who was then the incumbent governor.
This time, however, the result was different.
In the July 16, 2022 governorship election, Adeleke secured 403,371 votes, defeating Oyetola, who polled 375,027 votes.
Adeleke won 17 of the state’s 30 local government areas, while Oyetola won 13.
The result gave Adeleke a margin of 28,344 votes, a sharp contrast to the 482-vote difference that separated the two men four years earlier.
Declaring the result, the Returning Officer, Prof Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, said:
“I declare Adeleke Ademola Jackson Nurudeen, on behalf of the chairman of INEC, of the PDP, having satisfied the requirement of the law, is hereby declared the winner and he is returned elected,” Ogundipe said.
Adeleke was subsequently sworn in as governor on November 27, 2022.
The battle was not over
Oyetola and the APC challenged Adeleke’s victory at the Election Petitions Tribunal, alleging irregularities in the conduct of the election.
The legal battle lasted several months.
In January 2023, the tribunal annulled Adeleke’s victory after deducting votes it considered affected by over-voting and declared Oyetola the winner based on its recalculation.
Adeleke rejected the judgment and described it as a “miscarriage of justice”, saying the tribunal’s decision represented “an unfair interpretation against the will of majority of voters.”
He subsequently appealed the decision.
Appeal Court restores Adeleke
The Court of Appeal later overturned the tribunal’s decision and restored Adeleke as governor.
Oyetola, however, proceeded to the Supreme Court.
In March 2023, the Supreme Court upheld Adeleke’s victory, bringing the legal battle over the 2022 Osun governorship election to an end.
Now, ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, Adeleke is seeking another term in office as the Accord candidate, with other candidates including APC’s Bola Oyebamiji also competing for the Osun governorship.
