"Plot By Ikuku and Father to Take-Over Abia Govt Through Backdoor ‘ll be Resisted" - Ikonne

By: Emeh James Anyalekwa, Ogochukwu Isioma, Wisdom Nwedene

UMUAHIA - Some stakeholders have continued to react to the alleged rift between the Abia State House of Assembly and the executive led by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

There's been media reports that Speaker of the Abia Assembly, Chinedum Orji (Ikuku), and father, T. A. Orji, are warming up to “hijack” the state government, ahead of 2023 guber in the state, which Ikuku is widely believed to be keenly interested.

Adding her voice to Abians who have condemned the said move, Lady Shirley Ikonne, on Friday declared that such ‘sinister’ move by the duo, would be strongly resisted by the people of Abia.

Igbere TV reports that Ikonne is daughter of Eze Isaac Ikonne (Enyi 1 of Aba), paramount ruler of Ngwa, hometown of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.

She lamented what she described as witch-hunting on the part of the Speaker, saying that the State Assembly is out to frustrate the executive.

Speaking with Igbere TV, Lady Ikonne decried the number of ministries being probed by the State House of Assembly, under the leadership of Chinedum Orji as Speaker.

Igbere TV gathered that the Abia State Assembly had set up several committees to probe various ministries and agencies under the Ikpeazu led administration.

Just few days ago, the State Assembly summoned the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency, ASEPA, in what many alleged is targeted at the state governor.

Ikonne said: “Within few days of his inauguration, Ikuku has practically taken over the running of Abia State government and indirectly instituted probe of the Ikpeazu led administration.

“Over 10 government Ministries, Departments and Agencies, are being probed by various committees set up by the Ikuku led State Assembly.”

Speaking further, Lady Ikonne said the Speaker had no moral justification to probe the current administration, over what he (Orji) could not do when he held sway of government.

“What moral justification does he have to probe the present government over things he and his father couldn't do when they were in the helm of affairs?.

“Ikuku was the defacto governor of Abia State between 2011 and 2015 during which civil servants in the state were owed over 12 months salary.

“Talking about environmental decay, his father's administration witnessed worse. Abia State was in the most sorry state in terms of environmental decay”, she added.

Ikonne alleged that the move by the Speaker is aimed towards impeaching the Governor, and assuming the affairs of the state.

“The Ukwa Ngwa see Ikuku’s present undue meddlesomeness in the running of the state, a plot to create unnecessary tension between the Ikpeazu led executive and the legislature, in order to find excuse to impeach the governor on trumped up charges.”

She, however, insisted that such move would be strongly resisted by the people of Abia, particularly those of Ukwa/Ngwa extraction.

On his part, Chief Nkem Nwosu, from Obinwa clan, said he had it on good authority that the Speaker would in the next few weeks and months, move against more appointees of the Abia State government.

He alleged that the move by Ikuku, is to see to the sack of the appointees and influence the appointment of his loyalists.

According to him, “Ikuku wants to sack all Ikpeazu’s loyalists and replace them with his, those who will do his biddings.”

Chief Nwosu added that “the ASEPA General Manager (Victor Apugo), has been penciled as first victim of the legislative onslaught.”

When Igbere TV contacted the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker, Chief (Sir) Jude Ndukwe, he denied the allegation, describing it as "baseless".

"How can the person say that Ikuku wants to hijack Abia State government through the back door? Are we in military regime? ".

" So my brother, we are not in military regime and I can't react to such allegation," he told our correspondent on telephone, declined to make comment.

Igbere TV will continue to keep a close eye on the development and bring you updates as events unfold.

Enough of this sensationalism and alarmist attitude.

Ikuku and his senator dad cannot hold abia down. Abia is too big for that. If they try it, they will be sent packing instantly with deep political wounds.

If this is the reason why some e-diots will want to defame Abia, they came late.

Abia is too big to be under someone's pocket. Orji uzor Kalu tried it with his mom and cronies, it didn't work.

Even when the source of news is not credible, you will still go ahead to attack abia with your hate. The deputy Governor is from abia north. Abiriba-ohafia, arochukwu, voted for ikpeazu so quit the childish rant. Perhaps igbere bende didn't vote for him so must we now die? Mtcheeeeeeew

oga,so criticism is now hatred to you. Abia north did not vote for ikpeazu. He won because of the block votes from Iowa ngwa and Umahia coupled with rigging. My family house is in aba and I visit there a lot. If we can castigate people that voted for Buhari, who is Ikpeazu abi T.A orji and abians that voted for them.
Abia is lagging behind other states. I pray for abians.
