CHAIRMAN,  Senate Committee on Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has dismissed claims  that the emergence of Abia State governor of Ukwa-Ngwa extraction would lead to the seizure of property of non-indigenes in Aba.

Abaribe,  a  governorship aspirant, said  it was morally and legally reprehensible to talk about  seizing property of any Nigerian.

His words: ‘’It is, therefore, a case of a barefaced wicked propaganda, to insinuate that in Abia, a section will suddenly wake up and declare fellow citizens persona non grata on account of having assumed office as governor of the state.

“It is the height of illiteracy by the authors of such hate propaganda. It will never happen in Abia.  Abia is low in income, because it produces about only three per cent of the national oil output, but we must tap from those who have.
