Obinna Ejianya, the Australian-based Nigerian publisher of 9News Nigeria and CEO of Nine Communications Nigeria Limited has urged Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to utilize his recent appointment as the Chairman of the South East Development Commission Committee to exemplify the high level of productivity and efficiency he could bring to the presidency if given the opportunity.

In his congratulatory message, made available to the press, Ejianya described the appointment as a “well-deserved recognition” of Senator Kalu’s extensive contributions to the South East region and his unwavering commitment to public service.

Obinna Ejianya said “By this new role, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu can inspire confidence in his potential as a presidential candidate. The time is ripe for Senator Kalu to show Nigerians that he can deliver results, making the South East a model for national development and unity.”

“Senator Kalu’s political journey has been marked by both challenges and commendable achievements, especially during his tenure as the Governor of Abia State. However, his subsequent role as the Senator representing Abia North has seen significant developmental strides. Notably, he has initiated numerous projects aimed at improving infrastructure and empowering constituents, reflecting his dedication to the region’s progress.”

Noting Kalu’s ability to build bridges across tribal and religious divides, Ejianya referred to him as a “liberal politician who prioritizes national unity over segregation.” He encouraged Kalu to collaborate with South East governors and stakeholders to create a peaceful environment that addresses the long-standing sentiment of marginalization in the region.

“The South East region currently grapples with issues such as inadequate infrastructure, insecurity, and limited federal integration through roads and railways. In his capacity as Chairman of the SEDC Committee, Senator Kalu is uniquely positioned to address these challenges. By collaborating with state governors and federal entities, he can work towards enhancing infrastructure, bolstering security, and fostering a harmonious relationship between the South East and the broader Nigerian federation.”

“Senator Kalu’s extensive experience and his ability to build relationships across Nigeria’s diverse ethnic and religious landscape position him as a leader capable of uniting and advancing the nation. His inclusive approach has the potential to transform the South East into a model of development, thereby quelling longstanding sentiments of marginalization and reaffirming the region’s integral role in Nigeria’s progress.”

Ejianya emphasizes that this appointment is not just a regional responsibility but a platform for Senator Kalu to showcase his vision for Nigeria’s future. By effectively leading the SEDC, Senator Kalu can provide Nigerians with a glimpse of his potential as a future President, demonstrating his capacity to drive national development and unity.

In conclusion, Ejianya urges Senator Kalu to seize this opportunity to implement transformative initiatives in the South East, setting a benchmark for leadership that could inspire confidence in his ability to lead Nigeria at the highest level.

BREAKING: Haaland Scores Controversial Goal as 10-Men Manchester City Defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford

BREAKING: Haaland Scores Controversial Goal as 10-Men Manchester City Defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford—-Erling Haaland struck after a lengthy VAR review to hand 10-man Manchester City a dramatic 1-0 victory over Manchester United in a fiery Manchester derby.

Manchester City secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, with Erling Haaland’s controversial second-half goal settling a fiercely contested Manchester derby.

City were forced to play with 10 men for more than an hour after Phil Foden was sent off in the first half for kicking out at Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes. Despite their numerical disadvantage, Enzo Maresca’s side remained disciplined and eventually found the breakthrough through Haaland.

The decisive moment arrived around the hour mark when Haaland found the net, only for the assistant referee to immediately raise the flag for offside.

However, after a lengthy VAR review, the decision was overturned and the goal was awarded. Replays showed that Patrick Dorgu’s outstretched foot had played Haaland onside, while Enzo Fernández’s position was deemed not to constitute interference with play.

The decision sparked furious reactions from the home supporters, with Manchester United players also questioning whether Fernández’s position had interfered with their ability to defend the move.

United were handed a major advantage by Foden’s dismissal but failed to capitalise on it. Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo both struck the woodwork as the hosts desperately searched for an equaliser.

Manchester City’s defence held firm during the closing stages, while goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a crucial late save to deny Bryan Mbeumo and preserve the visitors’ clean sheet.

The victory was particularly impressive given City’s lengthy spell with 10 men and handed Maresca a huge win in his first Manchester derby as City manager.

For Haaland, the goal continued his remarkable record against Manchester United and proved enough to give City all three points in one of the most controversial derbies in recent years.

The result keeps Manchester City’s perfect Premier League start intact, with the champions moving onto 12 points from four matches, level with Arsenal at the top of the table but behind the Gunners on goal difference. Manchester United, meanwhile, remain on just four points after four matches.

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes on Target as Manchester United Thrash Azerbaijan Outfit in Champions League Opener—-Manchester United made a commanding return to Europe’s elite competition as goals from Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, Benjamin Šeško and Lisandro Martínez secured a 4-0 victory over Sabah Masazir at Old Trafford.

Manchester United marked their return to the UEFA Champions League in emphatic fashion, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Azerbaijani champions Sabah Masazir at Old Trafford on Thursday night.

Michael Carrick’s side took control of the contest after a cautious opening spell before eventually breaking through in the 27th minute. Matheus Cunha opened the scoring after Patrick Dorgu’s delivery created the opportunity for the Brazilian to put United ahead.

The hosts quickly took advantage of their growing dominance, with captain Bruno Fernandes doubling the advantage in the 42nd minute.

United then struck again before the interval as Benjamin Šeško found the back of the net to give the Red Devils a commanding 3-0 lead at halftime.

Sabah, appearing in the Champions League main phase for the first time in their history, struggled to cope with United’s attacking pressure and the quality of the Premier League side.

The Azerbaijani champions had a chance to pull one back during the contest, but United’s defence remained firm, with goalkeeper Senne Lammens also called upon to protect the clean sheet.

United eventually added a fourth in the 68th minute when Lisandro Martínez capitalised on confusion inside the Sabah defence to complete the rout.

The victory gives Manchester United an ideal start to their Champions League campaign after returning to Europe’s premier club competition for the first time since 2023. The result also provides a major confidence boost for Carrick’s squad ahead of Sunday’s highly anticipated Manchester derby against Manchester City.

For Sabah, the heavy defeat brought a difficult end to an otherwise historic night. The club, founded in 2017, earned their place in the Champions League after winning the Azerbaijani title and progressing through the qualifying rounds. Their appearance at Old Trafford represented their first-ever match in the main phase of the competition.

United will now look to build on the impressive European victory as they continue their Champions League campaign, while Sabah will aim to regroup for their upcoming fixtures against some of Europe’s biggest clubs.
