Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu has sacked three of the 17 Local Government Chairmen in Abia and appointed their replacements, Igbere TV can authoritatively report.

This is coming less than two weeks after their appointment as Transition Committee Chairmen, and less than 48 hours to the March 9 Governorship and State House of Assembly election in the state.

The affected local government councils were Arochukwu, Osisioma and Isuikwuato. The chairmen appointed to oversee them were unceremoniously removed last week and immediately replaced.

Though the governor did not make public the reasons for their removal.

However, a close source to the governor told Igbere TV that the affected chairmen had refused to endorse the governor's re-election bid.

The source, who doesn't want him name mentioned, added that “they were not seen as trusted PDP members who will deliver their council areas to the party because that was the reason the governor inaugurated the chairmen this time”.

Swearing-in the new chairmen, Governor Ikpeazu charged them to ensure electoral victory for the PDP in Saturday’s election in their respective councils.

According to him, the appointees were carefully chosen to intervene to bring stability and victory to the PDP in Saturday’s polls.

Ikpeazu, however, urged them to work closely with stakeholders and other members of the party in their areas to ensure victory for the party.

He also charged them to ward off external influences that may mar the conduct of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly polls.

The Governor told the new Transition Chairmen that their appointment was a stepping stone for greater opportunities to serve the state in future and wished them well.

Responding on behalf of his colleagues, the transition committee chairman of Isuikwuato council, Mr. Chima Agbaeze thanked the Governor for the opportunity given them to serve and pledged not to disappoint him.

If this is true then,I see the clamour for restructuring as a facade coup designed by the mini gods to have more access to the state treasury not as if they have the interest of the citizens at mind.just imagine the way the governors abuse their office ranging for abuse of the police ,silencing journalist for exposing them,local government chairmen as their stooges. Then we are deceiving ourselves. The only restructuring I will accept is the one the local government receive more than the state and federal combined at least if my chairman Bleep up,his will not be spared by the outrage of the youth.
