Who are these Petitioners.( Messer Anthony Aniobi and Lekwuwa Ndubuis) .Do they
really exist ? If they genuinely love Abia State and are worried with the allegations of Mr Oriaku. Why will they choose and pick which of the Paris refund figures that suits them.( Maybe interest of those that sent them)
These petitioners referenced what Mr Oriaku wrote as his ordeal with EFCC as their primary source material.
Why avoid the N8.2b in their letter to the house of assembly which was reportedly hidden from Abians since 2011 and jump at N22b which the state won award for doing well .
Are they aware that other South eastern states got average of N36b as Paris fund under this Buhari administration whereas Abia got only N22b because 8.2b was paid during Jonathan/ Okonjo era which was hidden from Abians as reported.
Do they know that Abia is the only State in entire south east that engaged consultants for this recovery and at 30% and 20%whereas other states did not even engage even at 1%.
Why will the house of Assembly deliberately ignore issues about the N8.2b that came in 2011 which till date Abians dont know how it was used and focus on N22b utilisation that won award from Governors forum ,and what was paid as consultancy fee.
Do you know what N8.2b would have done for Abia in 2011. Do you know that Port Harcourt road in Aba would not have deteriorated to the level Okezie met that road and its environs.
Do they know that N8.2b in 2011 would have paid down arrears of salaries owed workers and pensions before the coming of Okezie administration.
The 8.2b as at 2011 with the current exchange rate of N500 per dollar is about today N26b. This amount is too huge to be ignored by both the house assembly and the Petitioners.
The Petitioners referenced what Mr Oriaku said on his ordeal. Why did the petitioners ignore the N8.2b in their letter to the house of assembly.
Why will the petitioners set terms of reference for the house in their letter of complaint submitted to the Chairman commit on public petition. Who today is the one chairing the probe panel.
We dont want to dwell on the way and manner the letter got to the house and the hurried manner the committee was inaugurated.
Does this not appear strange that the house of assembly same day adopted 100% of the terms of reference of the petitioners which deliberately excluded the N8.2b. ( are you seeing what I saw according to Zeburudia)
Mr Oriaku though an opposition has always said the N22b was judiciously used .Is the house of assembly going to re -echo this position as an achievement or what?
Mr Oriaku said the N11b (eleven billion Naira only) which would have been paid as consultancy fee at 50% was not paid while he was Commissioner.
As reported by Nation newspaper of 30/06/21 The Kubwa High court proceedings shows that the Plaintiff agreed that 100m was paid to Ziplon Concept by Abia State government.
The illegality is that there was no approval for the N100m payment since the Governor has no right to sign off on any payment above N50m without going through Fand GPC and executive council of the state…Then imagine the illegality of the 11b.
We can see that this probe panel is tailored toward confusing the gullible public as the out come is already predetermined .
We are not suprised that the Speaker is working tirelessly to save what is left of the family image.
Almost all the people invited ignored this jamboree as the matter is before three competent courts in Abuja and most importantly before EFCC both at Porth Harcourt and Enugu.
Abians today are wiser than before ..Let’s leave he court and EFCC to conclude this matter..The house of assembly cannot give justice as seen above.
