GOVERNOR Theodore Orji of Abia State
has dissolved his body of Special Advisers, saying
he wants to re-engineer his administration. Affected were Senior Special Assistants, Special
Advisers and Special Assistants. There were over
50 Advisers, some of who were recently
appointed. Governor Orji announced the dissolution at a
banquet he organized for the sacked advisers at
the Banquet Hall, Government House, Umuahia. According to the Orji, the sack was not done out
of malice but rather to reengineer government
and inject new blood into the system. ”I will like to retain all of you and appoint more if
we had all the money”, Orji said.
The governor promised that fresh persons would
be appointed into the administration and also
assured that former appointees who have done
very well would be reappointed to tap from their experience. The Governor however advised those that will be
dropped not to behave like typical politicians who
would start romancing with the opposition
because of the sack. According to him, the sack was a normal thing in
government even as he made it clear that he was
guided in arriving at the decision by public
opinion. Orji disclosed that he has been under pressure to
dissolve the special advisers and assistants having
earlier dissolved his commissioners. According to
him, those clamouring to taste governance have
been on his neck to let them have a feel of the
government.
