Governor of Abia state, Alex Chioma Otti, has via his Chief Press Secretary, Kazie Uko, denied social media reports claiming he has filed a suit against President Tinubu and the Nigerian government at the International Criminal Court (ICC). It will be recalled that over the last couple of days, reports have been rife on social media with claims that governor Alex Otti had sought legal redress on the president's purported refusal to facilitate the opening of a seaport in Abia state.

Debunking the allegations, Kazie Uko on governor Otti's behalf, referred to the rumour as a "badly stringed and concoted report". In the Chief Press Secretary's words: "Abia State Government’s attention has been drawn to a fake report trending on social media, especially X (formerly Twitter), that the governor had sued the Nigerian government and President Bola Tinubu at the International Criminal Court (ICC). The fake news claims that Governor Otti sued the Federal Republic of Nigeria and President Tinubu for allegedly refusing to grant the request of the Abia governor to establish a seaport as well as an international airport in Abia."
