Abia State Debt Management Office General Manager Kingsley Nwaigburu rejected accusations against Governor Alex Otti regarding Fulani herder restrictions. Former Finance Commissioner Obinna Oriaku alleged the governor banned cattle rearers from Umuajuju village operations. Nwaigburu clarified that three autonomous communities within Okpora Ahaba made the restriction decision independently. He accused Oriaku of spreading false claims about statewide Fulani bans.
The communities of Okporo Ahaba, Ike Ahaba and Isi Ahaba acted to prevent cattle damage to local farms. Previous incidents involving herdsmen prompted their protective measures for agricultural areas. Nwaigburu emphasized that political opponents attempt to implicate the governor in local community choices. He highlighted past cases of misconduct and farm destruction that influenced community decisions.
