Abia: Otti responds to ex-governors’ threat over operations from private residence

Daily Post Nigeria
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has reacted to the threat by three former governors, Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu, to drag him to court for running state functions from his private residence in Isiala Ngwa South LGA.
The governor, who was responding to questions about the threat, said that his lawyers are ready for any eventual suit on the matter.
Otti informed his predecessors that he has not committed any constitutional offense by operating from his home, adding that reconstruction of the Umuahia Government House is ongoing.
Otti stressed that Abia people are more interested in the development of their state, and not where the Governor is operating from.
He expressed surprise that one of the former governors launched a verbal attack on his administration from far-away Ebonyi State, warranting the response he received from Abia State government media personalities.
