The Abia State Government has clarified that the recent revocation of the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) for a hotel in the state is not politically motivated. Officials emphasized that the action was carried out as part of a broader effort to recover government properties and enforce land regulations. The government assured the public that politics played no role in the decision.

Authorities explained that the hotel had issues with documentation and compliance, prompting the revocation. The state government noted that such measures are routine to protect public interests and ensure transparency in property ownership. This step is in line with existing laws and policies on land management in Abia.

The government further stressed that all property owners are expected to adhere strictly to legal requirements. Any revocation or recovery actions are based on compliance and regulatory standards, not on the political affiliations of the property holders. Officials urged residents and business owners to cooperate with regulatory authorities to avoid similar situations.

Residents have reacted to the announcement, with some expressing support for the government’s position on enforcing regulations. While the revocation may affect the hotel’s operations, the state government reaffirmed its commitment to fairness and transparency in all property-related matters.
