Trouble in Abia as two commissioners resign from Otti’s government

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Commissioner for Agriculture, Professor Monica Ironkwe, and Commissioner for Science and Technology, Chima Oriaku, have both resigned from the cabinet of Governor Alex Otti of Abia State.

The reasons for their resignations have not been publicly issued by the immediate past commissioners.

Also, no official press release was issued by the Abia State government confirming the news, or the rumours concerning the exit of the two former top appointees and why they left.

However, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ukoha Njoku Ukoha in a short reaction to enquiries on Wednesday morning, said that the two former Commissioners resigned their appointments from the cabinet and were not sacked, as being rumoured by some persons.

“The 2 Commissioners resigned from the cabinet. No one was sacked. Disregard the trending rumours”, the CPS, Ukoha Njoku Ukoha reacted.
