Abia Govt orders investigation into alleged threat to Obinna Ichita's life

The lawmaker representing Aba South State Constituency had alleged that some figures from an undisclosed political party were after his life.

The statement reads, “It is a well known fact that under the watch of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, premium has been placed on freedom of expression for all citizens of the State as well as protection of their lives and property. “It is desperately malicious and/or a hallmark of ignorance for a state legislator to claim that a World Bank project fund of N27.4b has been “paid in full by the World Bank to the state government“ and insinuate possibility of misappropriation whereas the practice is for such funds to be held in a project account supervised by the Bank with contractors’ payments released to them on the basis of agreed milestones and “no objection certificate” from the World Bank itself.

“With regard to the disbursement and application of the State House of Assembly appropriated Paris Club Refunds, the administration has no reason to interfere with legislative or legal reviews of the application of the Funds. We have already stated our position on that and other related issues to the effect that we do not interfere with constitutionally empowered bodies reviewing our management of the finances and other resources of the people of Abia State.
