The Executive Chairman of Aba South LG, Hon Clinton Ebere Thursday slammed Hon Obinna Ichita, accusing him of ochestrating a plot to tarnish the reputation of Abia State Government
The LG boss in a statement dismissing the allegations of an attack by thugs on Hon Ichita - member representing Aba South Constituency in the House of Assembly, argued that: "Reports available to us from some of those who attended the purported town hall event which turned out to be a full blown political rally along Port Harcourt Road in Aba indicates that those who engaged in acts of violence at the event were brought to the venue in buses by Honorable Ichita as part of a plot to bring the government into public disrepute"
According to the LG boss, Ichita failed to notify the LG authority or security agencies that he planned to hold a political event.
"The local government never received any notification from Honorable Ichita or any of his representatives on the planned public event at a time of heightened security alert across the country and the south east region in particular", the LG boss stated.
He further argued that Ichita's recent political activities necessitated that he seek and be given express permission to hold any political avtivity that potentially endangers the peace in the State, and LG.
"Given the recent political activities of Hon Ichita one would have expected that he gets express permission from the security authorities in the state and local government before embarking on a political activity that potentially endangers the existing peace within the local government and the state", the statement reiterated
The LG boss further urged the police authorities in tne state and local government to thoroughly investigate the clear security breach orchestrated by Hon. Ichita with a view to ensuring that all those involved in the orchestrated disruption of public peace are brought to justice as quickly as possible
He further urged members of the general public to avoid being used by anarchists and desperate political jobbers to cause unrest in the local government at a time all hands are on the deck to ensure security of life and properties of all those residing within the LGA
