The Abia State chapter of the Association of Online Practitioners of
Nigeria (AMPON) has reacted to the moves by the Abia State Government to
Clamp Down on three major leading Online News platforms over their
investigative Style of Journalism which has repeatedly exposed nefarious
activities of the Ikpeazu administration. AMPON, a body with the
responsibility of overseeing the activities of Online Practitioners in
Nigeria described the the latest move by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu as that
of a drowning Man. The Association in a Press statement made available
to Journalists in Umuahia by its Secretary in Abia State Mr Iroegbu
Emenike wondered why Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and his cronies should be
chasing after shadows when its roof is seriously burning with heavy
fire. The Association wondered why the Abia State government should
direct its agents to specifically go after the publishers of ABIA FACTS
NEWSPAPER, IGBERE TELEVISION and PUO REPORTS when the official chair
used by Ikpeazu is about to be taken away from him unless something
miraculous happens.
The statement further advised Governor Ikpeazu to focus on delivering
the dividends of democracy to the people of Abia State rather than
starting a battle no government has ever won in history.
AMPON further made it abundantly clear that the association shall
continue to collectively and individually hold the government
accountable on her actions, which is one of the primary objectives of
the Association.
