Senator T.A. Orji’s son-inlaw, Obinna Ararume, Enyinnaya Nwafor the son of Late deputy governor of Abia State Clement Chima Nwafor, his business partner and brother Dike Chimezie Nwafor, Pioneer Director General of the National Directorate of Employment NDE, Chuku Wachuku were among those who are believed to have drained monies that accrued to Abia State under the State’s Excess Crude Account, LeadingReporters exclusive findings can authoritatively reveal.

Abia State is near-synonymous with bad leadership. Across Nigeria, when states with worse leaders are mentioned, Abia State ranks first. This is despite the huge human capital and natural resources the State is blessed with. The state has perennial notoriety of having leaders that lack morality in leadership, sense of creativity and direction as well as fiscal discipline. From Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, to Theodore A. Orji, up to the current Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the story has been that of untamed massive looting of the State treasury and mismanagement of resources of the state. Abia State, like Rivers State is an oil producing state. While Rivers State Government has consistently deployed resources from the excess crude for massive developmental product, Abia State on the other hand has been bedeviled with leaders who loot the treasury for personal aggrandizement.

An investigation unveiled exclusively by LeadingReporters revealed that the peak of the financial malady was in 2016. All monies that accrued to the Excess Crude Account No 1014381352 domiciled with Zenith Bank, Government House Umuahia were, upon hitting the State account mopped up by the State Government using allies accounts and companies.
