Abia Group Wants Gov Ikpeazu To Recall His Chief Of Staff, Says Agbazuere Exceptional

A group under the aegis of Concerned Abians in Diaspora (CAD) has called on Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State to reconsider his decision and reverse the suspension of his chief of staff, ACB Agbazuere.

In a letter signed by Engr. Kelechi Arungwa, the Chairman and Mr. Noble Nwigwe, the secretary, the group pleaded with the governor to return Dr. Agbazuere to his position, stating that since the death of Chief Chijioke Nwakodo, no other person has been able to organize the administrative structure of his government the way Dr. Agbazuere had done.

The group said that it would not want to dwell on the righteousness or otherwise of Dr. Agbazuere’s action during the visit of a popular pastor, prophet Chukwuemeka Ohaneme, to the Abia Government House, Umuahia, but stated that Governor Ikpeazu should not forget in a hurry the positive attainments of Agbazuere as his Chief of Staff, a position he has handled “so well.”

The group urged the governor to remember that under his watch as the chief of staff, Agbazuere had carried out major reconstructions and remodeling of Okpara Square and many other structures within the Government House.

Dr. Agbazuere, the statement said, was also able to checkmate some fraud being carried out in the Government House without the governor’s knowledge, and had introduced some reforms that had helped the government reduce cost of running government.

The group stated that Dr. Agbazuere had assisted the governor greatly in pursuing the goals of his administration and had brought in sanity and discipline into the Government House in Umuahia.

They insisted that what happened during the visit of the pastor was an honest mistake that should not attract suspension but at worst a caution, “because Dr. Agbazuere’s mission towards bringing the man of God to government house in Umuahia is for the betterment of the state.”,

They advised the governor not to heed the calls from the opposition and “those who do not mean well for his administration but to focus on the positives that Dr. Agbazuere had brought into his administration.”

They prayed that the governor would reconsider his stand and return Dr. Agbazuere so as to continue with the good works he is doing for him and the state.

The chief of staff was suspended by the governor due to a viral video on the social media showing where he was spraying money on the vocal pastor in his office, an action condemned by many Nigerians.
