Okezie ikpeazu, Abia state govermor

A total of 2224 ghost workers have been detected in the Abia State local government system, who have been drawing salaries from the 17 local government areas of the state.

Ogbonnaya who was answering questions from members of the House on his achievement in the Ministry before the last cabinet was dissolved, explained that he set up the committee to fish out ghost workers in the system following the high wage bill he met in the councils.

According to him, the exercise which covered the whole councils would go a long way to save for the State a lot of money that used to go to ghost pockets.

The Commissioner- nominee also frowned at the large number of autonomous communities in the state, saying that many of them are not viable.

    Ikpeazu, how would you claim to be better than the ghost workers since you were able to finance your children’s education in the United Kingdom only after you have been made a governor? This is a typical case of a white collar thieve calling a blue collar thieve a robber. We know your history very well for your sister is a nurse in Houston, Texas.
