Image
   By Wordshot Amaechi Ugwele  Life is often described as unpredictable. And nowhere is that more evident than in politics. Chijioke Edeoga stands out as a leader with rare instinct. His pursuit of the public good is guided not by impulse, but by a steady, pragmatic sense of timing and purpose. In the aftermath of the 2023 elections, it became clear that many of his contemporaries were unsettled by his swift rise in the consciousness of the people.
