IMPOSITION OF CANDIDATE ON OBUBRA: Favorable to the LGA or not? By David Abam Is the imposed credible..?? Is he a round peg in a round hole..?? Is he the people interest..?? Has he been selfless before now..?? Obubra has ticked affirmative in all question asked... Congratulations Bassey Tom Agara (Doctor academic) on your emergence as obubra PDP chairmanship flag bearer which is timely and redeeming.. When you fight a man small in status but don't win him, look behind him you will see pillars of grace. The people fighting you today are people you have once fought for; for it is true that "the person you fight for go turn around to fight you" As asserted by Falz in his music titled "AMEN". But I implore you to carry all along, especially those fighting you; for you will be chairman obubra and not chairman to your supporters.. There is an uncanny fallacy that an Ikom man pressed you on us, I just laughed.. An Ikom man pay our school fees, obubra...

Publisher of Cross River watch Citizen Agba Jalingo has replied the Cross River Governor, Sir Ben Ayade on his recent interview in which he exonerated himself from the continuous detention of the journalist calling him a politician instead of a journalist. The journalist writes through Coalition To Free Agba Jalingo.  For The Record: Ayade’s Misleading Tale On Agba Jalingo ...Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts...          - Daniel Patrick Moynihan Governor Benedict Ayade of Cross River State on Monday, in what may be his best media spin so far, tried to spurn a narrative by playing the victim card which has remained his best response to every obstacle he has faced, on a matter he seemingly lost control of.

OBUBRA: A NATION DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH BETRAYAL ....Desmond Cruz. If as an Obubra son/daughter you believe the notion that the political bickering and crisis rocking Obubra is actually being orchestrated by *EXTERNAL INFLUENCE/FACTOR*, then is obvious you don't know the whole truth or maybe you just  choose to suffer *Selective Amnesia*. I read with utter dismay a write up posted by one of my kinsman, wherein he alleged that all the political leaders ever produced from/in Obubra were all products of *Imposition* by non-obubra indigenes. To underscore his point, a roll call of past leaders and their alleged political godfathers (Imposers) was published. Now, my mission here is to categorically state that the greatest problem Obubra have is not POLITICAL IMPOSITION but SELFISHNESS AND BETRAYAL. It is important to understand that the system of politics obtainable in Nigeria allows a political party to interfere in the affairs of it's members from the Ward to the National Le...
