**Open Letter to Governor Allex Oti* November 8, 2024

His Excellency
Governor Allex Oti
Abia State Government House
Umuahia, Abia State

Dear Governor Oti,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits.

The attention of Abia PDP has been drawn to recent claims you made regarding the payment of N90 billion to contractors in our state, which you allege to be debts incurred by the previous PDP-led administration. To be clear, the Abia PDP is not aware of the existence of such a debt incurred by the immediate past PDP administration. It will serve the interests of Abians if you put out the records as proof of your claims.

We must express our profound concern regarding your assertion that such a significant sum can be disbursed to settle debts that, as per our understanding, lack verifiable documentation and due process. This staggering amount warrants immediate scrutiny, and we urge you to provide clarity on how this figure was determined and the basis for these payments.

In the spirit of transparency and accountability, it is vital that you disclose the names of the individuals and companies that have benefited from these financial transactions. The citizens of Abia deserve to know who received these payments, as it will help foster public trust in your administration and its financial dealings.

Moreover, the speculation surrounding these payments raises alarm bells among our constituents. With your administration allegedly enriching Signature Bank with an additional N90 billion, it is crucial that you assure the public of the integrity and legitimacy of these transactions. Our people deserve to have confidence in their leaders, and without clear communication, such confidence is eroded.

We also find it disheartening that despite previous assurances related to spending and project funding, the situation now appears inconsistent. We implore you to take immediate action to clarify these matters, thereby reinforcing the commitment to transparency that is essential for effective governance.

We look forward to your prompt response on this pressing issue and anticipate your engagement in addressing these concerns for the betterment of our beloved Abia State.

Sincerely,

Elder Abraham Amah
State Chairman
People’s Democratic Party (PDP)
Abia State

Even if he shows proof of payment, the opposition will find another reason to discredit this hard working governor. There should be a boundary between politics and development. We all need to work together and ensure rapid development of this country, quite sad that Nigeria is not among 15 richest countries in Africa. Pull Him Down syndrome should be discouraged in this country.

Wale Edun should also show proof of payment of 25,000 to to the millions of people he claims.
