Ok, I pray the governor succeeds

You are doing well

Otti pls continue. Those bluhoriok ruined Abia and made it a mockery.

He paid salary as promised.

How can you promote a Director to become the Acting Head of Service when there are 2 Permanent Secretaries that are her seniors. This is against civil service rule except Abia is operating a different law to the remaining 35 states.

So far there are 2 Permanent Secretaries appointing a Director as acting HOS is against the civil service rule. She will now be their superior.

The clerk is a stunch pdp member and the solicitor general is the wife to the late pdp governorship candidate uche ikonne. If you were the governor will u appoint them as hos?

So now party affiliation is the basis to deny civil servants their promotions? Your excuse is watery and if those people initiate a case at the Industrial court they will win.
You can’t appoint a Director as HOS when there are 2 Permanent Secretaries ahead of her.
Otti is showing the world his level of nepotism.

Abi state no suppose pass LGA .

Do the state even look like it has ever had a governor sef ?

Even LGA in Delta are better managed than that cannibal lair.

Doesn't matter.

They are career civil servants, they got to those posts by merit and number of years they have put into the civil service.
