Abia state governor, Alex Otti has said that he experienced a very hostile handover on May 29, 2023, when he took over governance from his predecessor, Okezie Ikpeazu’s administration.
Otti, who stated this at Government House, Umuahia, while inaugurating a judicial panel of inquiry to recover government properties and funds allegedly looted during previous administrations in the state, lamented that the situation made it difficult for him to hit the ground running.
He stated that he assumed office blindly and below ground zero, alleging that he had discovered that the reason for noncooperation may have arisen from mischief from those who are in the custody of public properties and funds.
