Former Commissioner for Trade and Investment in Abia State, John Okiyi Kalu, has countered recent claims by Governor Alex Otti that the previous administration left behind an empty treasury and indebtedness.
Speaking on Arise TV’s This Morning Show on Monday, Kalu accused the governor of misrepresenting facts surrounding the state’s financial position as of May 29, 2023.
Kalu dismissed Governor Otti’s reliance on a KPMG report, which he described as a “process review document” rather than a forensic audit, as the governor had characterized it.
