The governor, during a recent trip to the US, accused Mr Ikpeazu of allocating N10 billion to a non-existent airport project in Abia State. It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall. The governor said he would soon release the forensic audit report which indicted Mr Ikpeazu, adding that the report also indicated that the money had already been transferred out of the state government account before his predecessor approached the Abia State House of Assembly for approval.

“What is important to our Government is that somebody is showing us the airport or returning our money. That’s what is important to us. We are not interested in the fireworks and all the abuse. We are not even interested in anybody going to jail except if they are telling us that somebody whose money is missing should not look for it. Where I come from, if your property is missing, you have to look for it,” he said.
