ABIA TRANSPARENCY GROUP INTERNATIONAL (ATGI)

PRESS RELEASE.

Recall, that few weeks ago, Abia Transparency Group International (ATGI), demanded governorship candidates of various political parties in the State with challenging issues arising from questionable WAEC result, Absence of candidate, Fronting as a Bank Owner for real owners that are behind the scenes, Failure to declare all bank accounts to CCB with many EFCC cases.

Whereas the Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu has come out within the time period we demanded and made some clarifications about the whereabout of the PDP governorship candidate Professor Ikonne. Despite the fact that everyone gets sick and the Governor stated he will be back to the state sooner or later. We are not fully satisfied with his attempt to clear the air because he wasn't specific on the exact date of the return of their candidate. We shall continue to press harder should more time passes without resurfacing of Professor Ikonne, the PDP governorship candidate.

The APGA candidate, Professor Greg Ibeh has also come out to throw light on the controversial WAEC result which surfaced online and alleged by sir. Chikwe Udensi to be fake and emanated from the APGA office as contained in the form completed by Professor Ibeh himself. Aslo, Gen. Ijioma an aspirant and APGA chieftain made same allegation that Prof Greg Ibe included the said fake WAEC result in his INEC form.

However, Professor Ibeh has responded by publishing a result bearing his name and school and year. The only argument that needed further clarification is that the said result published by Professor Ibeh has only (2) two credits but JAMB demands at least (5) give credits before applicants secure admission into any university in Nigeria. To this end, it is impossible that Professor Ibeh would have attended any university in Nigeria with just (2) two credits. We are not satisfied with Professor Ibeh's explanation as he couldn't have become a Professor with incomplete WAEC result.

Again, Professor Gregory Ibeh has failed to establish if the WAEC certificate he published was same document he attached to his INEC form that has widely been confirmed fake by his party members. Though, we hear rumours but not yet independently confirmed by ATGI, that Professor Ibeh is working behind the scene to remove the alleged fake WAEC result he submitted to INEC through his party that has better grades in exchange for the result with (2)two credits that seems to be authentic.

The Governorship candidates of YPP, Chief Nwafor and Dr. Alex Otti of Labour Party are yet to react to the concerns of Abians about them.

We promise to be keeping it honest and to continue mounting more pressure on these candidates to come clean with Abians on their integrity concerns.
