The Outgoing Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has replied the immediate-past governor, Senator Theodore Orji concerning the backlog of unpaid workers’ salaries, stating that he will not join issues with his predecessors.<\/p>\n

WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that Orji has distanced himself from the struggles faced by Abians workers<\/a>, ordering Ikpeazu to accept responsibility for failing to pay employees.<\/p>\n

Ikpeazu’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Onyebuchi Ememanka, in a press release issued on Saturday, May 13, 2023, said; \u201cThe attention of the Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has been drawn to a statement credited to Senator T.A Orji, the immediate past Governor of Abia State.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Ikpeazu wishes to state that he is proudly carrying the cross of the governance of Abia State and will continue to carry it till his last day in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecondly, and as a personal policy, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu will not join issues with any of his predecessors in office. For the almost 8 years he has held office as Governor, he has not engaged any of his predecessors in any kind of untoward exchange, even when it seemed politically expedient to do so. This policy is largely responsible for the sociopolitical stability we have enjoyed in Abia State since 2015. The Governor intends to sustain this personal policy going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu is of the firm view that as in all matters, history and posterity will over time put all things in proper perspective\u201d.<\/p>\n

Earlier in a press statement by the Abia State Liaison Officer for Sen. Theodore Ahamefule Orji, Ifeanyi Umere titled \u201cIkpeazu should carry his cross\u201d, noted, \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that I am forced to comment and refute the half-truths being dished out by those who through their own bad choices have found themselves in a quagmire.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of any doubt, neither myself nor my administration is responsible for the staggering salary arrears owed both civil servants, parastatals and pensioners in the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore my administration came to an end on May 29,2015, core civil servants were not owed even one month salary arrears. Parastatals were the ones that were owed between two and four months. The records are there.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt any rate,the arrears were necessitated by the dwindling federal allocation occasioned by the worsening global economy. The price of crude had crashed and the states were getting a paltry two to three billion naira monthly which was not even enough to run the state including capital and recurrent expenditures.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who took over from us inherited both assets and liabilities. In this case, government is a continuum. So, if we were owing two to three months, we expected our successors to clear them. This expectation was based on the fact that they received bailout funds from the federal government more than three times running into billions of naira. Again the economy had picked up considerably enabling the outgoing government to chalk up considerable income as can be confirmed from the ministry of finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo why was it difficult for them to offset the debts? Again if for any reason they couldn\u2019t or were unwilling to offset, why did they allow it to skyrocket to between 35 and 40 months? Why do they also owe core civil servants? So basically, I am not the problem. They should carry their cross\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
