IKPEAZU, ICPC, VINDICATES OBINNA ORIAKU, SHAME DETRACTORS

This statement to the full intent of its meaning is a direct recognition of our earlier stance on the integrity and professionalism of Mr. Obinna Oriaku during his time as the commissioner for finance, according to the group under Mr.

Oriaku's watch, the states financials were professionally and creditably handled, Mr. Oriaku also introduced digital financial transactions to our payroll system which to a very great extent eliminated fraud and financial malfeasance in our financial systems and saved the state millions of naira that would have ended up in the pockets of these fraudsters, he reminded those who were busy using pseudo identity to publish of all manner of falsehood against the person of Mr.

Oriaku to remember that he was the chairman of the committee that handled the bailout funds and at the end of the exercise, while ICPC and EFCC were chasing after and probing other states for mismanagement, Abia received commendation from the Anti-graft agencies for effective management of the funds allocated to it.

Also speaking, the secretary of the group Hon. Okezie Chukwuka (AKA OC), insisted that under Obinna Oriaku, the states financials was digitalized and discipline introduced, he eliminated brazen stealing of states funds by public officials through the introduction of measures that will make it difficult for people to steal with impunity from the system and I am sure in a little while Abia will begin to reap the benefits of those structures that Mr.

Oriaku has introduced into the system through the ministry of finance, he went further to state that he is not surprised that the enemies of the state who are currently serving in government has been using their illegally acquired funds to fight Mr. Oriaku so as to make him give way for them to continue in their audacious thievery which they shamelessly rub on the faces of Abians.
