APGA Wants Orji, Abia Speaker To Resign Over Fraud Investigation

The immediate past Governor of Abia State, Chief Theodore Orji, and the current Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Chinedum Orji, have been asked to resign their offices respectively over the purported massive squandermania that rained under the Senator’s administration as governor.
The ex-Governor is currently a two-term Senator, representing Abia Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, while Chinedum Orji, his son, is representing Umuahia Central state constituency.
The call by APGA follows widely spread news reports claiming that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had interrogated the duo over discovery of N150 billion naira alleged fraud during Senator Orji’s administration as Abia governor.
APGA, in a press release jointly signed by the Publicity Secretary, Ebere Uzoukwa, and Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Media Assistant to the 2019 gubernatorial candidate of the party, Dr. Alex Otti, and made available to journalists in Umuahia, yesterday, maintained that it has been vindicated in its long held view that the former governor presided over an era of mindless stealing while continuing his toxic superintendence as a destructive godfather, with the attendant consequences of failure and underdevelopment.
The party opined that the duo have lost the moral right to represent the people of Abia, much more preside over untainted legislators.
According to APGA, “We understand that millions of Abians in particular and Nigerians in general have been expressing shock,disbelief and anger over the report due to the magnitude of the thievery and therefore join Abians in solidarity at this moment of sadness and sobriety.
“Like millions of Abians and Nigerians, we believe that Orji and his son committed the kind of financial crimes that bore the trademark of incurable lunacy, and left the legacies of impunity,ruins and absolute destruction which have placed the burden of perpetual suffering, sorrow and subjugation on millions of Abians.
