[Shola Sholaz]

THE crisis brewing between Abia and Imo State governments over the ejection of Abia Transport Company from its park in Owerri, deepened weekend, with the former giving the latter till tomorrow to secure a new loading bay for its transport company.
.
Abia State government threatened to also eject Imo Transport Company from the state, if its Imo counterpart failed to accede to its appeal by today.
.
It said the threat became necessary because of alleged refusal of Imo government to heed to its previous appeals to give Abia Line a place to operate in Owerri.
.
Chief Press Secretary to Governor Theodore Orji, Mr. Ugochukwu Emezue, said in a statement that the state government did not believe the reason given by its Imo counterpart for the ejection, saying other transport companies were still operating from the same park.
