BEVERLY HILLS, April 2, (THEWILL) – The Secretary to Government of Ebonyi State, Professor Bernard Odoh has resigned his appointment citing the governor’s disconnect from members of his cabinet.
Odor, who was a lecturer at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka before his appointment in 2015, said in his resignation letter according to media reports, that members of the State Executive Council have not been freely allowed to express their views on policy matters.
He said: “In my opinion, this is the highest level of hypocrisy and the values I live does not allow me to operate in such deceptive atmosphere where people live opposite of what/who they are.
“Having assured you on my inception of office and at several times that I owe you the responsibility to be truthful and honest always, I wish to inform you that all is not well in your administration sir. If you observe carefully, almost all your appointees are nearly completely disconnected from your policy direction as they lack genuine sense of purpose, dignity, clear sense of commitment to decision taken in Council because of low morale”.
“Once more on behalf of my family, friends and those who worked closely with me for almost three years now, I want to most sincerely again say thank you very much for the rare opportunity you offered me to serve our dear state.
“My appointment as the Secretary to the State government is hereby resigned in good faith. I have handed over the status of cabinet office to the most senior staff office, Barrister Ogbonnaya Otta in line with the best practices of service”.
