UMUAHIA, NIGERIA – A civic group, the United Front for a New Abia (UFNA), has called for the immediate dismissal of the Abia State Accountant General, Mrs. Njum Uma-Onyemanam, accusing her of fueling discontent and creating unnecessary hostility against Governor Alex Otti’s administration.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the group alleged that the Accountant General’s conduct has strained relations between the government and key stakeholders, particularly civil servants and the media, thereby weakening public confidence.
“Her actions are gradually positioning the government against the people it should be working with. Civil servants are aggrieved, the media is frustrated, and the general public is beginning to lose confidence — all because of the conduct of one office,” the group stated.
UFNA further alleged that approvals granted by Governor Otti are being unnecessarily delayed or withheld at the Accountant General’s office, describing the situation as troubling and counterproductive.
“When a public official begins to act in a manner that suggests immunity from oversight, it sends the wrong signal,” the group noted.
UFNA Secretary, Senior Comrade Chukwudi Ifeanyi, stressed that urgent action is required to prevent further deterioration of trust between the government and the people.
The Abia State Government has yet to respond to the allegations.
