Amid a wave of financial misappropriation allegations rocking the Abia state government, Governor Alex Otti has dismissed Kazie Uko from his position as Chief Press Secretary and appointed Ukoha Njoku as his successor.


This significant shift in the governor's communications team follows serious financial misappropriation allegations and the indefinite suspension of Dr. Ngozi Okoronko, the Commissioner for Health.


Kazie Uko’s removal appears to be a strategic response to the escalating scrutiny over the administration's financial practices. Observers suggest that this shake-up is part of a broader effort to manage the public relations fallout from the alleged misappropriation of funds, which has tarnished the government's image.


The allegations center around substantial sums of public money that have reportedly been diverted or inadequately accounted for, raising concerns about the administration's commitment to transparency and fiscal responsibility. These claims have intensified calls for a comprehensive investigation and heightened accountability among state officials.


Adding to the administration’s challenges, Dr. Ngozi Okoronko, the Commissioner for Health, was recently suspended indefinitely. While the official reasons for her suspension have not been disclosed, insiders indicate that her suspension is related to the ongoing financial mismanagement issues.

 Dr. Okoronko's suspension has further fueled speculation about the depth and breadth of the alleged financial improprieties within the Otti administration, allegedly amounting to over 13 billion naira amidst heightened economic challenges.


However, the appointment of Mr. Ukoha Njoku, who was roundly defeated by Hon. John Eke in the PDP primaries for the Chairmanship position of Ohafia LGA in 2016, is perceived as an attempt to stabilize the administration’s communication strategy during this turbulent period. 


The new Chief Press Secretary is expected to reinvigorate the governor’s messaging and restore public confidence as the administration grapples with these serious allegations.




Governor Otti’s office has yet to provide detailed comments on the reasons behind Kazie Uko’s dismissal or the specifics of the financial misappropriation allegations. However, there is an anticipation that an official statement addressing these issues will be released soon.


As these developments unfold, they highlight the critical need for vigilance and transparency in governmental operations. The public and oversight organizations will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how Governor Otti’s administration addresses these allegations and manages the internal changes.


The response to these challenges will be crucial in determining the administration's future and its commitment to upholding principles of good governance.
