Governor Otti never made such a statement. Governor Otti stated that he will pay the May salaries first before tackling the unpaid salaries left by the past administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read with dismay, the fake report being widely circulated by one Promise Uzoma Okoro wherein he alleged that the Governor of Abia state, Dr. Alex Otti, has vowed never to pay the April salary arrears left behind by the former government of Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Mr. Okoro could not state where and when the governor made the statement. He probably anchored his assumption on the plans of the Governor to pay May\u2019s salary first, which of course is his immediate priority before tackling the humongous accumulated salary arrears left behind, which include the April salary Okoro mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGovernor Otti understands the place and importance of payment of salary as an enabler of economic growth and development and is therefore marshaling out the right strategy geared towards clearing the Abia salary mess.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCuriously, the poster who had earlier claimed that Governor Ikpeazu wasn\u2019t owing April\u2019s salary is now talking about nonpayment of the same April salary after Ikpeazu had left office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe public should see the report as one of those fabrications dished out to draw media traffic and deceive unsuspecting members of the public and should be disregarded.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abia state governor Dr. Alex Otti, has said claims that he vowed not to pay April 2023 workers\u2019 salaries in the state which was left by the Governor Okezie Ikpeazu administration are untrue.
