Under Onovo, the police have embarked upon aggressive man-hunt for hired killers. This crime has reduced considerably and it is hoped that with the measures put in place by the police, hired assassination anywhere in the country will soon be a thing of the past.

I think it is unfortunate. But having said that, you know parliaments do engage in that kind of brawl. The Japanese parliament and parliaments of many other countries engage in it. It is not something to be concerned about. Definitely, it is nothing to be worried about.

On state of the nation, the Fresh Democratic Party aspirant said, “Since the PDP led Government rigged itself into power in 2004, we had expected that its much advertised 7-point Agenda would provide solutions to the nation’s multifarious problems. Instead, the socio-economic and political situation has gone from bad to worse in every sector of our national life since the subversion of the popular will in the flawed elections of 2004. We could see for ourselves that the portend are indeed, frightening.”

In the beginningTHE political crisis which has engulfed Abia state following the strained relationship between Governor Theodore Orji and his political mentor and former governor of the state for eight years, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, will no doubt affect the governance of the state either positively or negatively.
