Intimidation, Harassment And Vandalism By Abia State Govt. by AlexOtti2015: 1:53pm On Jan 05, 2015
Abia First, the campaign organization of Dr. Alex Otti, governorship candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Abia State, wishes to draw the attention of the Federal Government, law enforcement agencies and Nigerians to the lawlessness being perpetrated by the Theodore Ahamefule (T.A.) Orji-led government of Abia State.

We had earlier alerted on the wanton destruction of our billboards. It is disheartening to note that this barbaric act has continued in the last couple of days, this time around being supervised by agents of the state government. We condemn this act in the strongest terms.

As if that was not enough, the government has resorted to disrupting meetings and events of supporters of Dr. Alex Otti with security agents and hired thugs. For instance, on the ..... a meeting of party members of APGA at Umuru Umehim Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA, was disrupted by hired thugs under the supervision of a government appointee. Though the government agent apologised when angry youths rose up against him, the message was quite clear.

Again, on ....... when a group of youths gathered for a meeting in Ovorji, another set of hoodlums attacked them, alleging that government had instructed them not to allow APGA meetings hold in a supposed PDP territory.

Still, on Sunday January 4, an annual football competition hosted by Honourable Damian Ozurumba in Mbutu Ngwa, was not allowed to hold. Security agents who were dispatched from the Government House Umuahia, physically stopped the competition from taking off, alleging that Dr. Alex Otti was invited as a Guest of Honour and therefore it was going to be a rally in disguise. They further questioned why the PDP governorship candidate was not invited. All appeals and assurances that Dr. Otti was not going to attend, fell on deaf ears.

Abia First is worried about these signals coming from the outgoing government of Abia State as they portend danger to our democracy.
Given the background of our governorship candidate and his insistence on law and order, we have and will continue to conduct ourselves with decorum. However, we need to state clearly that there is a limit to the provocation coming from people who we expect should be engaging the electorate on their programs, if any, rather than resorting to savagery.

We will like to use this medium to call on the Federal Government and the security agencies to call the State Government to order. This becomes very important as we may not continue to fold our arms and watch in the face of the brazen intimidation from the government of T.A. Orji. #AlexOtti2015

As an Abian that has been in Abia State for a very long time, I find it unbelievable that some people will still support that man T.A and any thing coming from him. That it'd why Abia State will still be where it is. Oti is our only hope for now. vote
him if you want Abia to be better
