Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has cleared the air about the sealing of the Renewed Hope Agenda office situated at Ojike Street, Umuahia, the state capital.
The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary,
Ukoha Ukoha, stated that the action was not politically motivated, contrary to
misinterpretation by members of the opposition.
Otti said the sealing was carried out by the state’s
Harmonised Task Force as part of a blanket enforcement of court orders.
He said he had, however, ordered that the property be
unsealed after the matter was brought to his notice by the Deputy Speaker,
House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.
According to him, the action has no political undertones,
warning against imputing motives to the activities of the harmonised taskforce.
“The unsealing was promptly executed pending the
regularisation of the building’s documentation.
“This enforcement was not politically motivated; rather, it
was part of a general exercise targeting properties in default of statutory
obligations,” the statement said.
It added that the owner of the property did not respond to
demand notices requesting proof of compliance with payment of ground rent and
other related charges.
