Immediate past governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has warned his successor, Dr. Alex Otti, to focus on governance and stop deceiving the people with lies and fiction.
Ikpeazu, who spoke against the background of a report that his government awarded a N10 billion contract for the construction of an airport in Abia without doing same, insisted that Otti was on clout- chasing and deceiving gullible people with the alleged forensic report he conducted on Abia finances.
Ikpeazu said: “Accounting for the N10billion, no dime was diverted. Otti is diverting attention from his own quarterly report which captured him spending N3billion on research and non-existent projects.”Why is it that he is using the same Ferrotex contractor, who he accused of receiving N10billion from us for major contracts today?
Okiyi-Kalu said the alleged N10billion originally budgeted for the airport project was rechanneled into other projects, following the approval of the executive council, after traditional rulers in the state told Ikpeazu to forget an airport project and focus on repairing major roads in the state.
