Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has denied suing President Bola Tinubu at the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the President's refusal to grant his request to establish a seaport as well as an international airport in the state.

This is in response to a social media report, which the chief press secretary to the Governor, Kazie Uko in a statement made available to ABN TV, said is false, urging the public to ignore it.

According to Uko, "The fake news claims that Governor Otti sued the Federal Republic of Nigeria and President Tinubu for allegedly refusing to grant the request of the Abia Governor to establish a seaport as well as an international airport in Abia.

"Another part of the badly stringed and concocted report alleges that Governor Otti had also placed a ban on businesses operated by Nigerians of northern extraction resident in Abia State, until the approval for the establishment of the said seaport and international airport is granted.

"There is absolutely no truth in this wickedly contrived fable. We are still on the drawing board on the proposed seaport while the Federal Government provided for an airstrip in Abia in the current budget, for which we are grateful.

Abia state does not need an airport. Port Harcourt airport is close to Aba while Owerri airport is close to Umuahia. Akwa Ibom airport is also there to serve them. As for seaport, Onne port in Rivers state is not very far away.

enemies of the people, what is wrong if Abia state have their own ?

There is no gain in hatred.

sue the president?? ipob.s abi obidence will ruin this gentle man career just as they have successfully ended obi's political career

Abians don't know ALEX OTTI is an expert driver of one chance. I pity abians from now till 2027

Other seaports should be allowed to breathe!

If that is done, the over population in Lagos will reduce

Losers. Crying marginalization and victimization everytime when people doesn't even know they exists

The fact that some people actually believed that a seaport could be built in Abia state baffles me... Is there any state in Nigeria that has a seaport without a sea? Some people think they can dredge the ocean from Niger Delta into the SE, it's all just comical...

Anyways, I think Otti is an honest man. He debunks all lies told on his behalf by overzealous party fanatics. The Geometric power plant issue comes to mind...

Propaganda machinery has failed.

The hate against the southeast is alarming

Noted.

Why sui the government?

hfhf

Otti should look very well. The news is from within his domain

people are hungry dis one wants to waste fund in building things that wont be functional, if approved it would have amounted to a waste of fund

Go an sue him now, you dey craze?

We all know it is false. Rumours like this are from the stables of the defeated Biafrans who are followers of Peter Obi by day and serve Simon Ekpa by night.

The biggest water body in Abia is Azumini river. For a ship to reach there, you must beg Akwa Ibom to allow you pass because they have a coastal access which the ship coming to Azumini must use.

Abia no get sea.
No seaport for una
Ntoooor
Go and fight God for not giving you a sea.

What's the important of building airport that won't generate revenue to the state. Building an airport that lacks passenger on daily basis.

That's how Umahi wasted Ebonyi State money to build Airport that I don't see it usefulness till date.
Aba is close to PH, so Port harcourt airport should serve for them, while Umuahia is close to Owerri so Owerri airport should serve for them.

Let him use the money and build another infrastructure in Abịa. Human capital development will be good for him to establish on, atleast to curb out poverty rate in the state by making almost everybody to be occupy with one thing or the other that will fetch huge money for them in return.

Great
