Posted by As a result of suspected acts of egregious misbehavior, Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi has ordered the immediate suspension of one of his Special Assistants, Mr. Collins Eze.
The Secretary to the State Government/Coordinating Commissioner, Ugbala Kenneth Igwe, revealed Umahi’s order in a statement that he signed and made accessible to reporters in Abakaliki.
The following is an excerpt from the statement: “The Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, has ordered the immediate and indefinite suspension of Mr. Collins Eze from office for acts of gross misconduct.”
The governor also revoked the recent state honors given to the troubled aide.
“As a direct consequence of this indefinite suspension, His Excellency, the Governor has, in the exercise of his powers as enshrined in the State Honours Law, 2022, approved the cancellation and withdrawal of the honours award recently given to Mr Eze by the state government.
Umahi also directed Eze ”to hand over all government property in his possession to the Secretary to the State Government and Coordinating Commissioner before the close of work on Wednesday, 28th December 2022″.
Eze quickly responded by claiming that there was only a little disagreement between him and the governor, adding that the suspension would be lifted.
