Governor Alex <\/a>Otti of Abia <\/a>State has cleared the air about the sealing of the Renewed Hope Agenda office situated at Ojike Street, Umuahia, the state capital.<\/p>\n The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ukoha Ukoha, stated that the action was not politically motivated, contrary to misinterpretation by members of the opposition.<\/p>\n Otti said the sealing was carried out by the state\u2019s Harmonised Task Force as part of a blanket enforcement of court orders.<\/p>\n He said he had, however, ordered that the property be unsealed after the matter was brought to his notice by the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.<\/p>\n According to him, the action has no political undertones, warning against imputing motives to the activities of the harmonised taskforce.<\/p>\n \u201cThe unsealing was promptly executed pending the regularisation of the building\u2019s documentation.<\/p>\n \u201cThis enforcement was not politically motivated; rather, it was part of a general exercise targeting properties in default of statutory obligations,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n It added that the owner of the property did not respond to demand notices requesting proof of compliance with payment of ground rent and other related charges.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
