The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Grand Alliance has expressed shock on the report of the Economic Finacial Crimes Commisson Investigation of a former of the state chief Theodore Orji.
The report which was on many National dailys on Sunday showed that the former governor and his son, Chinedum Orji, allegedly looted funds belonging to Abia state to the tune of over N500 Billion Naira.

Ebere Uzoukwa and Ferdinand Ekeoma Media Assistant to
Dr. Alex Otti stated that the party shares with Abains in their pains concerning the funds allegedly looted from the state.
The statement read it in part,"We understand that millions of Abians in particular and Nigerians in general have been expressing shock,disbelief and anger over the report due to the magnitude of looting and therefore join Abians in solidarity at this moment of sadness and sobriety.
"We believe that the very in-depth report has confirmed our leader, Alex Otti's long held view that the former governor presided over an unchecked
era as governor while with the attendant consequences of underdevelopment in the state.
"Like millions of Abians and Nigerians, we believe that Orji and his son committed the kind of financial crimes that bore the trademark of incurable lunacy, and left the legacies of impunity,ruins and absolute destruction which have placed the burden of perpetual suffering, sorrow and subjugation on millions of Abians.
"As strongly held by our Principal, Otti,we believe that the fear of being expposed and brought to justice was the reason why Theodore Orji applied violence and brigandage to have a toothless lackey as his successor who could cover his atrocious acts as governor.
"The former governor was so blinded by greed and lust for public funds to the extent that he played down the place of God, and doubted his powers and ability to serve justice to man".
The party urged Abians to remain strong and vigilant even as EFCC continues with its investigation aimed at returning all looted Abia funds as well as bringing perpetrators of financial crimes against Abians to justice.
"APGA wishes to express her joy and state that the present EFCC onslaught is a huge blessing to Abians as it would help correct all false narratives consistently peddled by Abia State government.
"The suspects and their idle appointees against innocent Abians, and unmask all those who have played one role or another in the destruction of Abia state".
The party however called the Governor and his son to step down from their legislative duties and face their matters in EFCC.
It added that they have lost the moral right to represent the people of Abia, much more preside over untainted legislators.
"This is without prejudice to their right to be heard in court, should they choose to defend the weighty allegations" the statement stated.
