Imo
State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has suspended the Commissioner for Women
Affairs and Social Development, Mrs. Nma Onyechere.
Confirming
the development in a telephone interview, the Governor’s Senior Special
Assistant, SSA, Media, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, explained that the suspension
followed the unwarranted physical assault the woman unleashed on a serving
Commissioner in the Local Government Service Commission, Chief Emeka Okoronkwo.
“Governor
received a complaint that the suspended Commissioner physically assaulted a
serving Commissioner in the Local Government Service Commission, Chief Emeka
Okoronkwo”.
According
to Mr. Onwuemeodo, it was the considered opinion of the Governor that such a
public figure of the rank of a commissioner should properly manage her temper,
no matter the level of provocation.
“The
reported incident brought bad image to the administration and the Governor
strongly felt that such a public figure of the rank of a commissioner should
learn to properly manage her temper very well, no matter the level of
provocation”, Onwuemeodo said.
It was
also gathered that the Commissioner had been directed to immediately hand over
all government properties in her possession to the Permanent Secretary in her
Ministry.
Meanwhile,
the state government has equally announced the sacking the Transition Committee
Chairman of Oguta local government area, Mr. Henry Igbomezie, from office.
It was
gathered that Ignomezie was removed for allegedly failing to respect a top
government official from the local council area
