The immediate past Chairman of Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, on Tuesday, March 30 joined the league of those that had parted ways with Governor Dave Umahi’s government, by also resigning his appointment as SA to the Governor on School Monitoring, Afikpo North LGA.
According to a resignation letter addressed to Gov. Umahi and made available to newsmen, Hon. Oko Enyim accused the governor of interfering in his family matters, particularly as it concerns the burial arrangements for his late father.
Hon. Enyim clearly stated that the governor’s disposition towards him of late, had made him realize that he no longer have a place in Umahi’s government, adding that Umahi’s preference of her younger sister, Barr. Obiageri Oko Enyim, who is also the current council Chairman, Afikpo North LGA, had forced him take the decision to resign his appointment, in order to prevent unnecessary rancour and acrimony.
His Words: “Your Excellency, Sir, your current dispositions towards me has made me to realise that l have no
place any longer in your government.
“Your Excellency, your preference to my younger sister to me for reasons best known to you have
compelled me to take this decision in order to avoid rancour and acrimony.”
The Ex-chairman bitterly noted that contrary to the tradition of the land, the governor’s interference and decision had denied him his right as the first son to organize a befitting burial for his father, having spent so much money in the planning, as he maintained that he would never accept such decision.
He said: “Your Excellency, against every known traditions and good conscience, your decision to
interfere and deny me my right as the first son to organise a befitting burial for my father in line with my already concluded arrangements, after spending fortunes is not acceptable.
“I hereby resign my appointment as SA under your administration with immediate effect.
Kindly accept the assurances of my warmest regards”.
Attached is a copy of the resignation letter.
