The Executive Chairman of Nkanu West Local Government Area, LGA, Hon. Uchenna Callistus Ejim has terminated the appointment of all the political office holders in the Council Area.
The notice of termination was contained in a letter signed by the Council Boss and made available to the public at the Council Secretariat, Agbani.
Recall that the appointment of the former Council Secretary, Hon. Offor Nnaji Offor was earlier terminated on 1st November, 2022.
According to the letter, the termination of appointment of all the remaining political office holders which takes effect from 31st March, 2023 affects all Supervisors, Special Advisers, Special Assistants, Executive Assistants and Field Assistants.
However, the reason for his action could not be determined as at the time of filing this report, but a source close to the Chairman said "this cannot be unconnected with the sabotage and anti-party activities of some appointees in their various political wards and polling units during the just concluded elections." The source stressed that the action of the Council Chairman was necessary and long overdue, as most of the appointees have not been active in their various capacities and clearly worked against the progress of the Council.
