ODEN EWA'S DECEPTIVE GAME: WHY THE GOVERNOR MUST ACT NOW.

ODEN EWA'S DECEPTIVE GAME: WHY THE GOVERNOR MUST ACT NOW. Cross River Central is inarguably the political nerve center of the state. Recent events have affirmed this underlying assertion as various interest groups within the state are covertly having discussions and maneuvering in the political affairs of the senatorial district, which is ably under the indefatigable leadership of Sen. Eteng Jonah Williams. The man, Oden Ewa, who made spotlight in Cross River State politics with his defunct lobby group in 2023 elections - which had the current Southern Senatorial District Senator, Asuquo Ekpenyong, as its then frontliner for the Cross River governorship race - is orchestrating yet another deceptive move to destabilize the political order in the state. His rumored interest in the senatorial seat of Cross River Central is nothing short of another trick to undermine the benevolence of the governor, who considered him against superior interest for appointment to save his defunct "...

Destiny is not tied to one's background, it is tied to the magnitude of one's vision and the strength of their heart.

Destiny is not tied to one's  background, it is tied to the magnitude of one's vision and the strength of their heart. By: Ajogbor Williams  Senator Eteng Jonah Williams is not celebrated merely because he holds a political title; he is celebrated because he embodies the values that humanity longs for compassion, resilience, generosity, and visionary leadership. In an age where leaders often seek only to be served, he chose the nobler path: to serve. His hands have built bridges across communities, his mind has crafted opportunities where there was once despair, and his heart has carried burdens that many leaders ignored.   In Houston, Texas, USA a land thousands of miles from his homeland Nigeria, Eteng's  name is spoken with reverence. His contribution to global needs — from fostering economic partnerships to championing social empowerment, earning him a place among the world's most respected personalities.  He reminds us that greatness is not confined to one’...

Resign and focus on Senate ambition - Group tells Oden Ewa

Resign and focus on Senate ambition - Group tells Oden Ewa Cross River State is at a critical juncture in its development, with pressing challenges that demand the full attention of all government officials. It is therefore, deeply concerning that Commissioner Oden Ewa, who oversees a critical Ministry such as the Ministry of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, appears to have abandoned his primary responsibilities in pursuit of personal political ambitions for the 2027 Senatorial race.   Reports indicate that the Commissioner has already begun appointing ward coordinators and mobilizing support for an election that is still two years away - an election that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not even outlined a timetable for. This premature politicking raises serious questions about his commitment to the office he currently holds and the people he was appointed to serve.   Governance Should Come First: As Commissioner for Special Duti...

Why Senator Eteng Jonah Williams Deserves a Second Term: First-Term Senators Need Time to Deliver

Why Senator Eteng Jonah Williams Deserves a Second Term: First-Term Senators Need Time to Deliver When you have a toothache, you call a dentist. When your tap is leaking, you call a plumber. Why? Because you want someone with experience. Someone who has handled similar problems before and knows what to do This used to be how we chose our political leaders too. Over the years, research and common sense have shown that politicians who have previously held office usually perform better than those who are completely new. This is even more important when it comes to the Senate, a place of serious national decisions, policies, and complex lawmaking. Unfortunately, some people in Cross River Central, Yakurr to be precise are pushing to send new, inexperienced person to the Senate again. While this may sound exciting to some, it is not wise. Especially at a time when our democracy and political competition have become more advanced and demanding. Let’s be clear, the Senate is not a training gr...
