Ukoha my friend, This epistle is too long and I doubt who will have time to read all the pages especially when most Abians now know the truth.
My formal response of the demolition of Abia Governor’s lodge at Asokoro Abuja and planned demolition of Umuahia Government house will get to you later today. However, I will advice you ask people who may know what goes on in a government you serve as Chief Press Secretary.
Your response suggest that you do not even know what happens in the government just like most of you . You get to know when you read from people like us and become reactionary.
I will foward the video of Abuja demolition to you to confirm that I don’t tell stories. People take my positions to the bank because none has been proven to be false . I stand by all I have said on current Abia administration.
Your colleague, the media aide to the Governor in one instance on a radio programme acknowledged the borrowing. It is on record, the documents from Craneburg construction Ltd ( Offer letter of N50b and N35b confirms it . The document showing borrowing of N35b from Access bank to off set loans of UBA and Zenith before the FAAC account can be moved to Access bank will so be forwarded to you . You know you just resumed and may not know all these . I dont say what I don’t know, moreso when it bothers around an industry i play on. The state borrowed from Access bank and Union bank. You can say the draw-down is not 100% yet.
I have never said the state have drawn down on $115m ADFB facility , the state is at the stage of signing subsidiary loan agreement with Federal Ministry of finance Abuja. It is a loan transaction I initiated from day one and even defended before several committees at National Assembly in 2018 .I still have follow up lead on it. Any day you draw down I will notify Abians.
The €50m RAAMP draw-down which was supposed to have taken place was truncated with the forced resignation of Mr Ogbonna the Abia Project Coordinator of RAAMP. I am sure you know the reason why he left . It is clear that your office may not even know that beyond the N125m collected ahead of the award of contact, two new contractors were being forced on the Project Coordinator. Craneburg Construction and Ferotex construction Ltd, even when they were not part of the bidding process . The same Ferotex construction that was the conduit for N10b airport scam. “Nde erieri” . We are more knowledgeable than before.
Unfortunately, Abia is about being removed from the €50m project which was initiated under my supervision in 2016 due to fraud and corruption under our new Abia.
There was no specific payment from FG for wage award. However, seeing the Federal allocation balloon from 600b to 1.3 trillion occasioned by subsidy removal and Naira devaluation, FG in NEC meeting persuaded the states to start paying wage award pending when the minimum wage issue is sorted out. Abia is the only State that never did that till yesterday when 15k was sprinkled against 35k paid by other states .
Your Govt is like a cult where only few understand what goes on. It is unfortunate that as CPS you are not aware of the Abuja demolition which is currently happening as we speak.
See the video at TY Danjuma Asokoro. I doubt if you even know the location as most of you are confined to Umuehim Nvosi. It is also possible you have not enjoyed at Transcorp Hilton were I usually meet your people when they are at Abuja.
My friend Ukoha , Dont answer CPS if you will not have access to day to day happenings in a government you are the chief spokes person. Take this very seriously.
Your mutual friend . Am coming with my formal response to the Gov yesterday at Aro chukwu on planned demolition of Government house Umuahia.
