Former Abia State Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Obinna
Oriaku has been appointed by President Bola Tinubu as the Commissioner
representing Abia in the Federal Character Commission, FCC.
His appointment was contained in a statement released by
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy,
on Monday.
Following the appointment, the Chairman of Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Abraham Amah and some other members of the party
described his appointment as “well
merited”.
A statement by Abia state PDP Chairman, Abraham Amah read in
part:
“Although Chief Oriaku is not a member of our party, we
recognize and celebrate merit wherever it is found.”
“Over the years, he has demonstrated admirable integrity,
competence and unwavering commitment to public service”, said Amah.
Obinna Oriaku has been a regular critic of the
administration of Governor Alex Otti since 2023, faulting Otti’s financial
policies and other programs.
Oriaku had also been trading words with media aides to
Governor Otti concerning contract awards, contract execution, financial
transparency, pensions and gratuities
payment and liabilities, as well as foreign donor agencies.
Apart from these, he has also been insisting that the past
administration he served tried its best in managing Abia resources, a position
faulted by the present administration.
However, the Abia state government had repeatedly urged Abia
residents to ignore Oriaku’s regular articles, arguing that the past
administration under which the former Finance Commissioner served
underdeveloped Abia.
