The N22 Billion loan exists in the imaginations of the peddlers of the wicked and warped narrative. This is actually a no-brainer because no commercial bank in Nigeria will grant any facility to any state government, the repayment terms of which will run beyond their tenure of office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further disclosed that the Ikpeazu administration had financial arrangements with banks through Temporary Overdraft facilities, TOD, which was cleared before the end of its tenure on May 29.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to state that all TODs were cleared before we left office. To be more specific, the only outstanding TOD with UBA which was in the region of N6 Billion was fully repaid in the months of March and April 2023. It is public knowledge that the last allocation received by the Ikpeazu administration was for the month of April 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike we had explained before now, the only existing liabilities are loans taken by successive administrations from the old Imo State, most of which were taken to fund critical developmental projects over the years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese also include bailout funds which were loans given by the Federal Government to every State in the country to support the States, with very clearly defined repayment terms which are structured in a way that the ordinary day to day business of the State will not be hampered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is on record that throughout the 8 years that Dr Okezie Ikpeazu held forte as Governor, the people of Abia State largely slept with their two eyes closed on account of the relative peace and security that prevailed across the State. These didn\u2019t happen by giving excuses and playing blame games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe removal of Petroleum Subsidy by the federal government has naturally jerked up funds available to the 3 tiers of Government in the country. For the month of May 2023, the Otti administration received 9.113 Billion Naira as allocation. This was received in June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the highest allocation received by the State in any single month in the last 10 years. Allocation for the month of June which will reach the states any moment from today is projected to be more than double of what they got last month, so the Abia state government has no reason whatsoever not to fund security operations and even the legislative branch of Government.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ikpeazu challenged Otti\u2019s administration to produce any evidence to support its claim of a N22 Billion outstanding loan liability from the Ikpeazu administration.
