Governor of Ondo state, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko has assured his kinsmen that he would not disappoint them as he prepares to start his second term in office.
Until his appointment as the Abia State Commissioner for Finance, Chief Samuel Onuigbo, was the Commissioner for Lands. He is a man adept in the politics of the state and has followed the vision of the state Governor, Chief Theodore Orji with passion. In an interview session with journalists in Umuahia, he spoke on the financial situation in the state, the vision of the governor and why Abia has not borrowed any money or gone to the bond market. EMEKA OKAFOR was there.
It is a year of mixed feeling for the country politically. While som key political figures had their day in the sun, others were not so lucky. Deaths, impeachments, electoral losses and security issues took the shine off the year. ABIODUN ADEWALE AND DAN AJANAKU report.
