Ikpeazu’s Govt Has Weaponised Hunger In Abia – Alex Otti

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA in the last 2019 general elections in Abia State, Alex Otti, has declared that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu-led Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, administration has weaponised hunger and poverty against the people of the State.
Otti who made the declaration in a press statement issued to reporters in Aba yesterday by his Media Assistant, Ferdinand Ekeoma, decried the insincerity of Ikpeazu-led government towards the welfare of Abia civil servants and pensioners.
He again, claimed that despite tranches of bailout funds and Paris Refund Club accrued to Abia by the federal government for the payment of Salary arrears owed to State workforce, as well as execution of infrastructural projects, the governor had decided to impoverished the citizenry.
Parts of the statement read, “I’m pained that workers in many state government owned institutions are being owed up to 15 months salary arrears while pensioners are being owed 32 months pension arrears. This leadership atrocity defeats every pretence of sincerity and seriousness on the side of the Okezie Ikpeazu led government. No unmotivated workforce can give a healthy output.
