Gov. Ikpeazu constitutes handover committee as Catholic priest leads Otti’s eight-member team
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia has constituted a 23-member transition committee to prepare the ground for the smooth handover of power to Governor-elect Alex Otti.
The committee, headed by the Secretary to the State Government, Chris Ezem, included an eight-member team nominated to represent Mr Otti’s interest.
The leader of Mr Otti’s team, Rev. Fr. Christian Anokwuru, told journalists in Umuahia on Monday that the committee would be open and transparent in their deliberations for proper documentation of facts.
Mr Anokwuru said the government team had quality members, which included commissioners, businessmen and professionals.
He also spoke on the composition of Mr Otti’s 100-member Transition Council, inaugurated on Friday in Aba.
Mr Anokwuru said Mr Otti appointed eggheads, professionals and captains of industry, who had excelled in their respective walks of life, into the council.
