EES Search for a Leader: Examining Advocate Ajo’s Record and the Question of Leadership Continuity

Author.  On the 26-10-2026, when I wrote  about the qualifications of Advocate Ajo to become the governor of Eastern Equatoria State (EES), those who lacked the foresight to see the future took great offense. They assumed my observations were merely born of prejudice, yet time and maturity have exposed the superficiality of their arguments. In this article, I present clear evidence showing that Ajo is simply a tool and a continuation of a failed system. Heavily Armed Bodyguards. While providing bodyguards is a constitutional responsibility intended to protect officials in power, aspiring candidate Ajo has far exceeded this mandate. As a private citizen who should be free to interact with the people he plans to govern, he has instead created a barrier that could take a century to penetrate. If Ajo emerges as the winner in the final race, who will be able to reach him with their grievances? Relying on a massive security detail is a clear sign of insecurity. Who is Ajo afraid o...

ADVOCATE AJO ONYOISHA: A New Era of Development or a Continuation of the Destruction of EES

Pray for Nakeke. What is happening in the Nakeke area is not a new development. Governor Lobong has been destroying EES for far too long and is finally handing the mantle to his student, Advocate Ajo. With his slogan, “It is now,” this new political entrant signals the complete vandalisation of the state. Eastern Equatoria should prepare for the worst under Advocate Ajo. The Toposa people have been resisting the exploitation of their land, but the burden has been heavy. Lobong continues to drain their gold in broad daylight without any accountability. Today, if you hear about the fighting in the Nakeke area, it should not surprise any serious citizen of EES. Ajo and Lobong have agreed to dismantle the state to enrich the Juba cartel through sham elections and dynamic empowerment. If you want to understand Ajo’s leadership style, follow the illegal court trial of Dr. Riak and his co-accused. A true citizen will not support what is happening in Juba. This is not about supporting Riak...

WHO WILL RESCUE US LIKE KALISTO LADU

Poem of Lament Who will rescue us like Kalisto Ladu? He is rescuing Juba from prostitution. But Magwi is drowning in its depths. He is rescuing Juba from drug abuse. But Magwi is feeding on its poison. He is rescuing Juba from expired goods. But Magwi is consuming what is rotten. Who will rescue us like Kalisto Ladu? He is returning retail trade to the hands of Juba. But Magwi is surrendering retail trade to foreign lands. He is lighting up the streets of Juba. But Magwi is darkening the hearts of its people. He is securing lives in the heart of Juba. But Magwi is endangering the lives of its own. Who will rescue us like Kalisto Ladu? He is distributing good roads to his own people. But Magwi denies its own right to good roads. He is building hope through transparency and accountability. But Magwi is crushing hope through wrongful arrests He is rebuilding Juba's broken democracy. But Magwi is demonising freedom in the open. Who will rescue us like Kalisto La...

WHERE DOES KALISTO GET THE MONEY? The Question Other County Commissioners Should Answer

Facebook file: "No resource is too small to make a difference, but not trying with the little available is actually being nothing as a leader," Abunerry .  When Hon. Kalisto Lodu was appointed Mayor of the Juba City Council, he transformed Juba City within six months before he was dismissed and jailed. He was the talk of the country. On 22 September 2026, he was appointed caretaker commissioner of Juba County, in which even an unborn child knows he has transformed Juba County in less than a month. Kalisto's transformative development raises a question: Where does he get the money for all those works? While this article may not answer the question, it challenges other leaders to be creative, utilise public resources and taxes in the interest of the people, and carefully weigh their chosen paths of vision. While Juba has many revenue sources that help raise taxes for development, Kalisto has been functioning uniquely compared to other leaders who have held the same offi...

EASTERN EQUATORIA GOVERNORSHIP RACE: My Take on Mr. Ajo Noel Ohisa

Is EES ready for another mess?  Until now, the Eastern Equatoria State (EES) governorship race under the SPLM has been gaining momentum, with new faces entering the race. Unfortunately, we are not seeing opposition candidates showing interest, for reasons best known to them. Among the most disturbing developments is the declaration of Ajo Ohisa, the lead prosecutor in a high-profile case involving a prominent figure in the country. Many people have expressed varied views, and I want to add my observations in this article. First, I appreciate the need for inclusive elections, as long as a person meets the required qualifications. Ajo's expression of interest is constitutional, and he has the right to contest any available position like any other qualified person. As he picks up his nomination papers for the primaries, I wish him the best. However, every EES citizen should carefully assess each candidate, particularly Ajo, to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. Educationall...

WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE? Observations on the Altercation at the Anglican Church in Abim District

At first glance, I thought it was a joke until I watched the full clip. Many people have commented differently, with some accusing the pastor and others the LC2. Well, let us leave the rest for the law to judge, but I have a few observations. From what can be observed, the Reverend, the LC2, and the congregation each bear some responsibility for allowing the situation to escalate, although their responsibilities were not necessarily equal. The Reverend While exercising his spiritual authority, the Reverend appeared to cross the line by acting as though he had sole authority over the church proceedings. His intentions may have been right, but he should have excused himself when the LC2 appeared determined to speak to the people. A servant of God needs tolerance and calm when responding to a non-believer or an authority figure. Since it was the first time, the pastor should have controlled his emotions and avoided allowing the situation to escalate. Sometimes, exercising authority ...
