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.
