Ferotex Construction Company said that when the former Abia State governor approached them for the construction of an airport, they informed him that they had never built an airport before and expressed concerns about their capability to handle the project.
However, he insisted that they should proceed with the construction of the Abia State Airport. Subsequently, when the initial payment of ₦10 billion was made into their account, they were given 32 accounts and instructed to transfer the funds meant for the airport project to these 32 different bank accounts. – Gov Alex C. Otti
However here are 7 Major updates from the fake Airport saga in Abia state.
1. The EFCC have started inviting people involved in the airport heists in Abia State.
2. Documents show they (PDP) paid 80% for the same airport they said they diverted its funds to roads.
3. PDP never wanted to build any airport in the first place.
4. PDP handed over a doctored handover note to us just to cover their illegal dealings.
5. It’s not a witch-hunt. We must continue to demand for our money for the development of our people and State.
6. PDP never covered their tracks well while looting the state dry; they were banking on their thugs to rig them into power as usual.
7. We met over 900 idle staff members in the government house. Most of them were paid 50k while they were also forced to return half of the money to the so called PDP bigwigs that “employed” them.
