There was jubilation in Anambra State by workers in the state after news filtered in that Governor Willie Obiano has announced an increment to their basic salary.

Obiano added 15 per cent to the workers’ salary as a motivation and in fulfilment of his promise to increase their salary once revenue improves. The increase would be reflected on the new pension scheme about to take effect.

This is coming as the governor, on Monday sacked his Special Assistant on Politics, Joe-Martins Uzodike, for allegedly supporting the re-election bid of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Daily Independent gathered that the sack was dramatic, as it took place while Exco meeting was ongoing. His offence was correcting a jingle by the state government currently running on televisions and radio stations.

Uzodike is a member of the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s Campaign Committee and he allegedly accepted to serve on the Committee on the understanding that APGA is working for Jonathan.

He had continually briefed the governor on the outcome of their numerous meetings and was also the Director General of the Obiano Campaign Organisation.

To worsen his case, Uzodike’s tape at Blaze Fm was replayed at the Exco meeting where he was heard correcting the jingle publicly, saying the content of the jingle should not be that the electorate should vote Jonathan but vote umbrella at the presidential poll, and vote cock at other elections.

The advert was saying vote Jonathan whereas Jonathan’s picture would not be on the ballot paper but symbols.

The governor expressed disgust at Joe-Martins’ presentation and directed the Secretary to the State Government, Oseloka Obaze, to immediately go to his office and write a sack letter to effect Uzodike’s removal.

Daily Independent could not get through to the SSG, as his phone was not going through as at press time to know if the letter was ready before the Exco meeting ended on Monday.
