The transition committee of Abia State Governor-elect Alex Otti appears to be experiencing delays in the processes leading up to May 29.
WITHIN NIGERIA understands that the Otti transition committee has cried out that the state government is allegedly not coorperating with them.
This was revealed by Rev. Fr. Christian Anokwuru, the Leader of Alex Otti’s representatives in the Abia Government’s Handover Committee, in an interview with newsmen in Umuahia on Thursday.
According to him, the state government has refused to submit the handover document to its camp, citing their refusal to cooperate.
Anokwuru also claimed that the government’s own committee appeared to be more concerned with the swearing-in ceremony than with the documents, which could jeopardize the governor-elect’s plans for a smooth transition.
He noted that;
It is expected that the outgoing administration ought to avail the governor-elect with the handover documents early enough to enable him to study the content before May 29.
The administration has only a few weeks in office, so by now the handover documents, covering the government’s activities from 2015 to April 2023, ought to have been ready.
If the government insists that the handover documents would only be made available on May 29, it means the governor-elect has to take another period of time to study them. For us from the governor-elect, we are not getting the maximum cooperation we were promised by the government.
