The Abia State Government has
denied being behind the alleged cancellation of the birthday reception in
honour of Governor of Rocha Okorocha of Imo State at the Abia State
Polytechnic, earlier on Saturday saying “it will not be drawn into
unnecessary matters with Imo state government over mundane issue.”
The clarification
comes on the
heels of a report by a national daily that Abia State Governor, Theodore
Orji purportedly ordered that the birthday reception should not hold in the
state because it was a ploy by Mr. Okorocha to launch the recently
registered All Progressives Congress, APC, in the Abia.
The report was however, debunked by the Chief Press Secretary to the Abia
Governor, Ugochukwu Emezue, who said Mr. Okorocha planned to launch
a pet-project called ‘Imo Rescue Mission’ at the Abia State Polytechnic
without the consent of the institution’s authorities.
He also said that the police in the state were not duly informed of the
planned programme.
The Abia governor’s spokesman said contrary to speculation, his principal
and Mr. Okorocha enjoy a cordial relationship but advised that rather
than launch his pet project in Abia State, he should have done same in Imo
State, where he is governor.
Mr. Emezue also noted that the state would do whatever it takes to prevent
the incursion of political thugs from Imo State into Abia to disrupt the
peace there.
