A team of former governors, legislators and political appointees in Abia State, who served between 1999 and 2023, have indicated readiness to sue Governor Alex Otti for operating from his private residence in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South LGA.
The decision to sue Otti was taken during the second meeting of the group, at the residence of the former governor Theodore Orji.
Members of the team include ex-governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu, among others.
In a communique issued by the team after the meeting on Friday, the group said the lawsuit should be used to compel Otti to relocate from his personal house and operate from the Government House in Umuahia.
“A lawsuit should be instituted compelling Governor Alex Otti to operate from the Government House, Umuahia,” the communique said.
The communique which was read out by a former media aide in Abia State government, Victor Ike Oye, expressed dismay that Otti is still operating from his private home .
The group declared its readiness to work for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and also thanked the President for nominating one of their members, Okezie Ikpeazu, as an ambassador.
