The All Progressive Grand Alliance has accused the Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, of commissioning non-existent projects.
The party, which described the development as media commissioning of projects, said one of such projects is to be commissioned in Aba on Friday.
It thus urged journalists to take independent tours of such projects, especially the one to be commissioned today.
In a statement on Thursday, the Chairman of the party in the state, Onapuruagu Prince Ukaegbu, said: “APGA, Abia State chapter decry Governor Orji’s obsession with the incident of February 28, at the Aba sports stadium and the attendant mania to reverse the humiliation which he claimed he suffered as a result. This has clearly led to governance coming to a halt in the state, as all efforts of government have been concentrated at soothing the governor’s bruised ego.
“It is this same obsession that led to the attack on our liaison office in Aba and money meant for developmental projects has been wholly consigned to one form of propaganda or the other with officers of state struggling to outperform each other in this gory drama at ingratiating self to the governor.
“APGA Abia State chapter calls on the political editors, journalists and media practitioners who have been contracted by the state government for the great makeover, to, while on the assignment, veer off from the well choreographed route and go on their own tour of vital roads like: Ngwa, Obohia,Eziukwu, Omuma, Uratta, Osusu, Ukaegbu and Emelogu, just to mention a few. It is then that the true picture can be ascertained.”
