Governor Dickson Sacks Special Adviser For ‘Gross Misconduct’

Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, has sacked Helen Bob as his Special Adviser on Talent Development and Gender Education.

Bob, according Dickson’s Chief Press Secretary, Fidelis Soriwei, was relieved from her duty on Wednesday for alleged gross misconduct.

Soriwei said the governor sacked the aide for “repeated acts of gross misconduct, indiscipline, irresponsibility and acts unbecoming of a person occupying the high position of Special Adviser in any government whatsoever.”

Bob was said to have worked as Dickson’s Special Adviser for almost eight years.

Soriwei said the sacked aide was among 130 Special Advisers, out of over 2,000 appointees, engaged by Dickson to render necessary services to the state and to give a sense of belonging and legitimate support to party members.
