Abia State Equity Group (ABSEG) Demands Gov Otti to be clean in the forth coming LGAs elections in a letter sent by Converner, Rev Okechukwu Christopher Obioha JP to the Abia State Governor demanding that he should nbe clean base on the incoming LGA polls.

The letter reads as follows…m

His Excellency, Dr Alex Chioma Otti good day.

Thanks so much for listening to the voice of reason, at least if not from us, the case coming up in the Supreme Court and the Bill in the National Assembly on the Conduct and another body for Local Government elections respectively being proposed are in the bidding.

What Abia State Equity Group-ABSEG is asking you to do is to be circumspect, follow the rules and be clean in every of the steps leading to the said forth coming LGAs elections in Abia State.

Yes, the Law may have allowed you,to appoint at will, the Abia State Electoral Commission – ABSIEC members even though they are Statutory; you must desolve the members of the Commission of old properly. It is a bundle of contradiction and runs counter to your self acclaimed transparent and accountable position to Ndi Abia State, to be paying the members of the Commission appointed by your predecessor Dr Okezie Ikpeazu and at the same time paying and running the next LGAs coming up on 2nd November, 2024 and paying the new members led by Prof George China Oti (though we often see him answering Prof George China in the recent). Except you have unprecedentedly put them on pension with their full salaries and allowances after one year plus in office.

The most prudent and of eguity, justice and fairness, is to officially pay the old members off front and deal with the New alone.

You proud yourself of identifying ghost workers in Abia to save our money, which we appreciate. This one of paying two sets of members of the same Commission as ongoing is an abaration both in law and precedent in practice. Stop it forthwith please and save us this money which is the major reason we elected you in office.

If we are democratic, we must be seen to be democratic.

Thanks and God bless.
