Two commissioners in the cabinet of Governor Alex Otti on Wednesday, July 17 resigned from their positions, ABN TV reports.

The commissioners who resigned include Chima Oriaku, Commissioner for Science and Technology, and Prof. Mrs. Monica Ironkwe, Commissioner for Agriculture.

Our correspondent reports that news about the termination began circulating shortly after the State’s Executive Council meeting, presided over by the governor.

While some sources claimed the commissioners were dismissed, others asserted that they voluntarily resigned.

At the time of filing this report, there had been no official statement from the governor or the Information Commissioner, Prince Okey Kanu, explaining the circumstances of their departures.

It was also reported that the two commissioners were unaware of the reasons behind their removal.

The development followed the recent dismissal of Dr. Ngozi Okoronkwo, the Commissioner for Health, during a State Executive Council meeting presided over by the governor in Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South local government area.

Reacting to the news, Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, clarified: “The two commissioners resigned from the Cabinet. No one was sacked. Disregard the trending rumours.”

"The Executive Governor thanked them for their service and sacrifice to the State and wish them well in their future endeavours." his statement reads.

Nigerian politicians don't resign voluntarily...

Since they have resigned, they should be replaced immediately. Many people are begging for the opportunity to serve.

The only problem is that most of them want to loot and will be disappointed if there's no room for looting.

And how are u sure about this. Thats a fictitious statement at best. A terrible assumption too

With the facts on ground, its reasonable to say that they resigned cause they dont wanna work with a man that gets allocation from the FG every month yet sticked to paying 18k as the minumum wage in 2024

Its even more sad, when u consider that the workers are still being owed 11months salary

otti the two faced governor, pretends to be good in public but wicked within

These guys have their conscience intact.

The got fed up when Otti announced 15k naira for the workers in the state. Is it for garri or eba.

We are protesting this injustice on August 1st in Abia. We will demolish everything built by this one chance governor Otti.

Hmmm....

Resigned or dismissed?

Ehen?
.
No choppins?

If that will make saint Otti to start paying 30 000 minimum wage

Talk true will only put you in trouble in this country

Abịa must work. Nobody is indispensable.

Him dey owe dem salary?

Maybe they failed to dance to some rhythms that has brought about their removal

Or


They over envisaged how juicy the position will be but were disappointed on appointment

They are tired of all the propaganda being dished out from the state government, and a government that only wants to pay between 18,000-20,000 naira only as minimum wage.

If dem born you well come.
Your carcass will be used for cadava
You think is chest beating and you think Igbos will watch and allow what they have to get destroyed.

Kid me not

Kudos to the Governor. Resign if you are not going to work. Otti is working.

Governor Otti is not here to protect corrupt government officials. Others will seat up. He gave them soft landing by allowing them to resign honorably.
This how it should be, not romancing criminals

They were fired
To save face they’ll ask you to resign

I wonder why....hmmmmm

The audacity of Tinubu's drug trafficked in Chicago. Seems he gave out leftover from that deal for some people to ingest.

What do you expect? Governor that can't pay 30k minimum wage. They are resigning on moral grounds.

But if it was Mr Tinubu's government, you will tell us there is crises in his government. Mr Tinubu is incompetent. He can't control his government. He should resign. The North is dealing with him. 2027 is not far. This and that.

But now that it is a Labour party - run State, you give the Governor a soft landing and suggest that everything is fine, and that the Commissioners only resigned because they were unable to loot.

That's double standard.

Oga calm down oh. No go get involved in something you'll regret for life. How do you vent your anger by demolishing state infrastructure? Use your tongue and count your teeth.

Most likely sacked

Otti is a no nonsense man.

Under perform and u will be removed.

God bless
Otti our darling daddy
Our incoming president

Clown.
He trafficked drugs yet he's never charged with any offense not to even talk of a drug offense, unlike your blodas that are doing life in prison from the US to South East Asia. Some are facing the death penalty. Check your brain.
