Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has told the immediate past administration in the state, headed by Okezie Ikpeazu, to get ready to return looted funds, including money budgeted for the airport project.
Otti , who was reacting to the report of the forensic audit of the state's accounts, said his administration is not fighting anybody but is only interested in recovering looted funds, in a bid to ensure good governance. The governor spoke at Nvosi, during a solidarity visit by supporters and loyalists of the member representing Isiala Ngwa South State Constituency, Rowland Chinwendu.
'I established a forensic audit of our accounts as soon as I was sworn in and the report turns out that a lot of money was looted, stolen brazenly and part of the ones I mentioned was the N10 billion Abia Airport Project. 'They started insulting me. If you follow what is happening in the media, you would know that what I said is true. 'We are looking for our money. If we are not able to find the airport, they would have to refund us our money.
