Abia State government has disowned a report on social media
where Governor Alex Otti was quoted as saying that he had no business with
Lagos and also that he would make Lagos look like a village.
The State government was reacting to the trending report
tagged “Governor Otti fires back at over demolition of Igbo businesses.
The report had also quoted Otti as saying: “I have no
business with Lagos, I am not competing with Lagos. My competition is China and
Dubai.
“By the time I’m done with Abia, Lagos will look like a
village”.
But a statement released by Ferdinand Ekeoma, the Special
Adviser to Governor Otti on Media and Publicity on Sunday night, described the
statement as false, baseless and unfounded propaganda issued by angry and
frustrated politicians.
Ekeoma, who said that his principal detests garrulous and
childish showmanship, said that Abia Governor could not have made a statement
that bears the signature of arrogance,
thoughtlessness and divisiveness.
“Given the relationship which has become an unbreakable bond
that has existed between Governor Otti and his brother Governor Babajide
Sanwo-Olu for decades, speaking to the Governor directly off camera on any
subject matter is one of the easiest things to do,” he said.
He alleged that authors of the fake news were the same
desperate politicians that wrote petitions and inciting articles immediately
they learnt that President Bola Tinubu was coming to commission some projects
in Abia.
