Independence Is Meaningless Without Real Freedom
As we continue to reflect on Nigeria’s Independence, we must remember that independence means very little if citizens cannot freely express themselves, within the bounds of the law, without fear.
Reports that some Nigerians in Akwa Ibom were arrested simply for identifying with the Obidient Movement should worry every Nigerian who believes in democracy and freedom, especially when such identification is a constitutional right.
One of the greatest tragedies of our society is that people who once described themselves as freedom fighters can become defenders of oppression when they eventually occupy positions of authority. Those who once complained about injustice can become comfortable with injustice when it is being perpetrated against people they disagree with. That must not be the Nigeria we accept.
Our independence must ultimately mean freedom from fear, injustice, intolerance and abuse of power.
Nigeria must belong to all of us. -PO

What do you think about this 50 year roadmap for the South East?
Aba - Manufacturing.
Make it the factory of Africa.
Onitsha - Trade & Logistics.
Build Africa’s most efficient commercial and distribution hub.
Nnewi - Engineering & Industrial Production.
From spare parts to machines, automobiles and advanced manufacturing.
Awka - Technology & Skilled Talent.
Build the engineers, technicians, software developers and craftsmen our industries need.
Enugu - Education, Research & Innovation.
Turn it into a university city where knowledge becomes companies, patents and industries.
Ebonyi - Agriculture, Food Processing & Solid Minerals.
Stop exporting raw produce and minerals. Process everything here.
Owerri - Technology, Creative Economy & Hospitality.
Build a city that attracts young talent, startups, entertainment and tourism.
Umuahia - Agriculture, Biotechnology & Agro-industry.
Research what we grow. Improve it. Process it. Export it.
Then connect ALL of them with rail, reliable power, broadband, highways and a single regional market.
Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy
My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.
We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.
The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.
The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.
It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.
If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
