Ex-Ebonyi SSG, Prof Bernard Odoh
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ebonyi state Chief Godwin Akaji, has urged former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Bernard Odoh, to apologise to Governor Dave Umahi over what he called unimaginable, unfounded, baseless and malicious allegations against the governor.
Odoh had among other things in a three-page resignation letter accused Umahi’s administration of running a one man show and workers in the state have not been fairly treated.
But while addressing journalists in Abakaliki the state capital, Akaji wondered why Odoh made the allegations against the administration he was part and witnessed payment of workers on 15th of every month. He urged Odoh not to use malicious allegation to achieve his 2019 selfish political interest.
Said Akaji: “Odoh should have known that all those things he raised against the Governor are not in existent. If they existed, he should show evidence and that is the only way he can convince the public. He should desist from raising falsehood against the governor because of his selfish political interest.
“He was a spy to the state government. He has been in this administration for three years only to accuse the government of maladministration. He did not work for the emergence of the administration as he was of APGA where he contested for senatorial election and lost.
“He should have resigned without abusing the Governor. Let him know that Ebonyi South must complete its own eight years of governorship seat the way North and central did. Odoh cannot stop the Governor.”
