A rights group, Coalition of Civil Society Groups in Abia State, CCSGA, has cautioned Governor Alex Otti, over the planned appointment of billionaires as the transition committee chairmen in the 17 local government areas of the state.Otti had during an event at the Aba Sports Club, disclosed that he would appoint billionaires as Mayors of the 17 council areas.
They urged the Governor to carefully select and appoint men of integrity who have no allegations of corruption and certificate forgery allegations hanging on their necks. The group stated that it had also petitioned the current House of Assembly to investigate the matter. “The rumours of appointment of these suspected persons are gaining ground. The rumours may be occasioned by your utterances eulogizing some of these billionaires who are under investigation of fake certificate and financial misappropriation in the last administration. We wish to reiterate that appointments as LGA chairmen should be based on integrity, notable antecedents, sound morals and good administrative acumen and a certain level of education and the fear of God to change the status quo.
