Today at 1:00 PM, The News Chronicle will host a live Zoom and Facebook interview featuring Hon. Cletus Obun, a prominent Nigerian politician, in conversation with Renowned political science professor, Prof. Jideofor Adibe.
The discussion, expected to cover a range of pressing political and governance issues, promises to be both insightful and thought-provoking.
Hon. Cletus Obun, a former Cross River State House of Assembly member, has held notable positions such as Chairman of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and Vice Chairman of the APC Central Senatorial District in Cross River State. Prof. Jideofor Adibe, a respected academic and columnist, brings a wealth of political analysis expertise to the conversation.
Obun’s past interviews reveal his deep concerns about Nigeria’s political evolution, governance structures, and democratic processes. He has been a vocal critic of what he describes as poor reward systems in political appointments, notably within the APC. In a recent TV appearance, he warned President Bola Tinubu against sidelining loyal party members, calling such a move “political suicide.”
Insights to Watch For:
- Political Appointments: Obun’s perspective on merit-based appointments versus political patronage as well as APC reward system.
- Political Defections: Expect commentary on Nigeria’s fluid political reforms, including the tax reform bill as well as Ghana’s President Elect John Mahama.
- Local Government Autonomy: Obun has consistently advocated for stronger, financially independent local governments.
