Larrybash Emerges APC Reps Candidate In Ado-Odo/Ota as Party Members Embrace New Direction

Image
By Olatunji Peter  The political atmosphere across Ado-Odo/Ota Federal Constituency became clearer on Saturday as High Chief Olanrewaju Bashorun, popularly known as “Larrybash,” emerged as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for the House of Representatives following the party’s primary election conducted across the 16 wards of the constituency. The exercise, which many political observers initially expected to end in affirmation of an endorsed candidate, eventually transformed into a ward-based democratic process that witnessed massive participation of party members across the federal constituency.

Abia Youth Group Defends Benjamin Kalu, Dismisses Claims Of Abandoned Constituency Project

Image
A youth-based advocacy organisation in Abia State has rejected allegations that a constituency project linked to Benjamin Kalu, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, was abandoned, describing the claims as misleading and politically motivated. The group, Abia Progressive Youth Frontier (APYF), said recent reports questioning the implementation of a conference and e-learning facility attracted unnecessary controversy without proper understanding of the project’s status and execution process. In a statement issued on Sunday and signed by its state coordinator, Chinedu Nwafor, the organisation said attempts to portray the project as abandoned ignored the broader record of infrastructural and educational interventions facilitated by Kalu across Bende federal constituency. According to the group, the deputy speaker has remained one of the most visible and impactful federal lawmakers from Abia state, particularly in the areas of youth empowerment, education, infrastructure, healthc...
