“The false claim that the Deputy Speaker intends to destabilise the peace in Abia State is both baseless and mischievous. His only “offence,” as everyone knows, was his call for the state government to show tangible results in line with the increased federal allocation which is absolutely, a fair and logical demand given the improved revenue from President Tinubu’s reforms.
“It is now clear that the Abia State Government is angry simply because the President has refused to endorse its deceitful posturing with an official visit. This anger, now being redirected through this politically sponsored protest, is nothing but an act of desperation.
“We therefore warn the security agencies to take note of this dangerous plan and the grave implications it poses for peace and stability in Abia State. No one should underestimate the capacity of such politically motivated agitation to inflame tensions.
“Rather than wasting time plotting needless protests, the state government should focus on delivering the promises it made to Abians. Resorting to diversionary tactics will not silence genuine questions about performance and accountability.
“Abia APC Renaissance Group is sending a direct message that the opposition in the state will not be intimidated into silence. We will continue to demand transparency and results.
“Any attempt to stage such an ill-intentioned protest will be met with an even stronger counter-protest, where all supporters and lovers of Mr. President will mobilise in solidarity. The Abia APC Renaissance Group will not stand idly by while the peace and political stability of our state are threatened for cheap propaganda”. The statement reads.
