A letter signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, obtained by our correspondent in Awka, ordered the affected officers to hand over to permanent secretaries of their respective ministries, departments and agencies or to the most senior civil servants in the absence of permanent secretaries.
The memo directed the affected appointees to hand over any project/vehicles in their possession to the office of the Secretary to the State Government on or before Friday, 16th March, 2018.
A Senior Special Assistant to the governor on media, Mr. Oliver Okpala, confirmed the development, saying, “It’s the proper thing to do in the circumstance. When a government is transiting to a new term, it’s proper to disengage all those who served in the former tenure. Gov. Obiano will start his second term on 17th of March. So, all those who served in the first term should go. If the governor wants to reappoint anybody, then it is a fresh contract. So, the disengagement of the political appointees is normal and proper.

Ayam not understanding. The governor will start his second tenure on the 17th March? So which tenure is this present one??
