Aliga to ex-commissioner: Don’t link me with Abia funds

The Chairman of Allray Maritime Services Limited, Elder Raymond Aliga, has cautioned former Abia State Commissioner for Youth Development, Mr. Dannie Ubani, against linking him with the state fund.

Aliga was responding to a social media post by Ubani where he linked him and Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia to the purchase of a certain hotel in Lagos.

Ubani, who was the Labour Party candidate for the Isiala-Ngwa South State Constituency in the just-concluded election, equally alleged that he slept in a N1.2bn state-of-the-art hotel owned by Aliga and Ikpeazu located at Ikoyi, Lagos State.

However, Aliga in a statement signed by his Media Assistant, Olusegun Oyebode, warned Ubani against defaming his reputation.

The CEO of Goodseed Foundation stated that he has been a successful businessman, agripreneur and renowned maritime service provider long before the emergence of Dr. Ikpeazu as Governor of Abia State in 2015.

The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a social media publication by a self-acclaimed Alex Otti’s attack dog and merchant of cheap fortune, Dannie Ubani, titled “Ndi Abia, See your money o” wherein he unsuccessfully sought to bring to public disrepute and ridicule, one of Abia’s most respected business moguls and entrepreneur of supreme pedigree, Elder Raymond Aliga, MON. We wish to state as follows:

“Elder Raymond Aliga, MON, popularly called Goodseed has been a successful businessman, agripreneur and renowned maritime service provider long before the emergence of Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu as Governor of Abia State in 2015.

“He has never occupied any public office in Abia State or elsewhere in the world.

“Elder Aliga is proud of his long-standing friendship with Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, who he knows to be a principled and focused leader that frowns at primitive wealth acquisition and hateful political engagements.

“We wish to warn Dannie Ubani, other hired social media hacks and the masquerade that is sponsoring them that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. A word is enough for the wise.”
