The Abia State Government has slammed the senator
representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Smart Adeyemi for allegedly
referring to the State governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu as a “champagne drinking
Governor”.
In a statement issued on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary
to the Governor, Onyebuchi Ememanka, Abia the state government said the Senator
made the comment on Monday while the Senate was debating on a motion on how to
protect schools across the country.
“Our view is that the Senator is either suffering from a
protracted case of mental illness or is battling with occasional fits of
schizophrenia which manifests in making careless, dishonorable, unrelated and
incoherent statements.
“This conclusion becomes irresistible judging from the total disconnect between the matter being discussed by the Senate and the comments made by the Senator as they affect the Governor,” Onyebuchi stated.
According to the statement, Abia Government alleged that the
Senator was not in sound mind, adding that Abia State is miles ahead of the
Adeyemi’s home state (Kogi).
Ikpeazu’s CPS stated that since his principal assumed office
as a governor, there has not been one single case of attack on any school
anywhere in the state.
“Senator Smart Adeyemi is clearly non compos mentis. If not,
he would have known that while his State is still awarding contracts for the
renovation of schools, Abia had long completed more than 500 classroom projects
scattered across schools in Abia State, and still counting.
“It is obvious that Senator Adeyemi is battling with acute
dementia and has lost every of his instincts as a journalist. If not, he would
have known that just last week, the National Bureau of Statistics adjudged Abia
State as No. 3 on the list of States that attracted foreign direct investments,
with only Lagos and Abuja ahead of Abia State in the entire country”, Onyebuchi
added.
