The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Saturday April 9th, 2022 – National Winston Churchill Day
On April 9th in 1963, Winston Churchill became the second person to become an Honorary Citizen of the United States, although this was the first time Congress had resolved that it was to be bestowed by the 35th President of the United States, John F Kennedy, on a foreign national – he was granted citizenship of eight individual states as a prelude :- Hawaii, Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. National Winston Churchill Day commemorates this event.
Atiku Abubakar’s political walkabout by Kola King
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is a widely experienced and articulate political animal. He is also a smooth political operator. In a word, he’s a consummate politician and quintessential networker. He seems to be driven by a monomaniacal commitment to politics. He’s also a man of many parts. He’s both a successful politician and an astute businessman. He’s also an educationist and community leader. Now, he’s in his sixth and perhaps final race for president since Abubakar will be 77 in 2023. Having served as vice president his greatest ambition is to transform into the president of Nigeria. Indeed politics seems to run in his blood. For him, politics is a means to an end. That end represents power, the ultimate aphrodisiac for a man who seems determined to get the heady brew called power in one way or another.
Simply put, that explains why Atiku Abubakar has switched from one party to the other in his bid to clinch the highest position in the land. That’s the reason why he wrestled with his principal, former President Olusegun Obasanjo for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential ticket in 2003. That’s the reason why he would go to any length to fulfill his ambition. He sees the political parties as an all-purpose vehicle that will convey him to Valhalla or his political destination.

What cosmic electrician
Switched you into your ignition?”
