The Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, Rt Hon. Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji, has urged self-appointed professional and intending blackmailers to exhibit some human feelings and suspend their antics of blackmail and politics of 2023 for now and focus on how to help manage the global health issues(Corona Virus) at hand.

The Speaker stated this on Tuesday as a fallout to the Politics of calumny and bitterness being played by some political actors in the State.

He cautioned that no matter how hard the social media hirelings and their scared paymasters try to malign his reputation at this time, he will not respond to them as he is focused on how to better serve the people especially in this difficult era of the pandemic.

“It is better to focus energy on how to manage the Corona Virus Pandemic at hand, rather than waste money and other resources that ought to have been better deployed in providing palliatives to the people rather than wasting it on fruitless ventures of churning out propaganda on a daily basis, which is really becoming quite embarrassing for them”,’ he said.

The Speaker further assured that he will not dissipate energy responding to such mischievous antics and their failed and deceitful sponsors.
