Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has sacked his appointed aides from the Ivo Local Government Area of the state, the LG of the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Pius Anyim.
This came barely 24 hours after Senator Anyim had written a petition alleging that the governor was after his life.
Anyim was reacting to an allegation by Governor Umahi that the former Senate President was plotting with other leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state to cause violence in Ebonyi.
The Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Kenneth Ugbala, announced the sack of the governor’s aides in the state-owned radio station, the Ebonyi State Broadcasting Corporation, on Wednesday.
According to Ugbala, the sack was informed by the governor’s decision to ensure inclusiveness in governance.
Those affected by the sack are all senior technical assistants and technical assistants to the governor; all liaison officers; and all management committee members from Ivo council.
The governor directed all concerned to hand over government property with them to the Secretary to the State Government by the close of work on December 2.
Umahi had last Thursday sacked coordinators of Ivo and Echiele Development Centres for allegedly refusing to sign a communiqué against Senator Anyim.
