Awin Atare, an Assistant to the Delta State Commissioner for Project Monitoring/Audit, has been sacked for supporting Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate.
The female Obidient’s sack letter was signed by the state Commissioner of Projects Monitoring and Supervision, Chief Anthony Onoriode Ofoni.
The letter titled, “Withdrawal of Appointment As Media Technical Aide”, partly reads, “I wish to inform you, of your disengagement as Special Assistant Technical Aide to my office as the Delta State Commissioner for Project Monitoring/Audit”.
“This decision became of necessary owning to your well publicized opinions on the policies and programmes of the Delta State Government and PDP at large, which are in contradiction to what the State Government had achieved in the last 7 years.
“As a Commissioner and member of the State Executive Council, I wish to distance myself from the opinions you expressed on your platforms, as it does not represent my stand on the performance of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa administration which has been well credited for the overall transformation in the State by way of giant strides in infrastructure, social development, job creation, wealth creation and the overall development across the State.”
“This disengagement, is with immediate effect, I therefore, wish you well in your future political endeavours.”
In reaction, a Labor Party Chieftain in the state, Harrison Gwamnishu assured Awin Atare that “On behalf of Obidient Deltans, I sympathise with you over your SACK for speaking TRUTH TO POWER.
“We will soon get there where everyone will be proud of Governance and never be scared to Soro Soke.”
