Read MoreAudacity of Hope Uzodinma and Travesty of November 11
By Chibuikem Diala Last Saturday, November 11, 2023, Imo State witnessed the biggest singular electoral heist in our political history. It was a deluge of evil perpetrated against the humans of Imo. Even while a student, I have always seen politics as a genuine means to community service and not this criminality we are forced to accept.
