You worry yourself too much trying to reason with these deluded IPOB clowns. Just let them understand that the woman was sacked and there ain't nothing any of them can do about it. Case closed. Hakanai!

Is it me or is it a coincidence that anytime an Igbo person is replaced it turns tribal

Why cant she go. she is an appointee and as such the people in charge have asked her to resign. I also don't believe that crap she is corrupt free. the way things are going,they (top shots)all have one crap or the other hidden from the public. until exposed she would seem a saint.

Sometimes a shuffle or replacement is the best way to ensure continuity and transparency. It is only when she is not there that she can be truly appreciated or judged for her goods or Bad. While she is there nothing can be seen. Its Nigeria same butt lickers would dump her for the new boss and stories about her escapades begin to surface.

She can't be there forever.All she needs to do is be glad God saw her through and she did her part. With her status she is not leaving as a junior staff. She would be well compensated except for the fact she loses the seat of boss.

Anyway tribalism will not bring anything good. The people accusing others of tribalism are even the ethnocentric beings. Full of wahala and always reading meaning from tribal prism all the time.I dey sure if the names of her supporters are brought forth you would see its her kinsmen which she has placed or influence there jollfing in pencom and beyond.

Na them them.....

Did you read being relieved before the expiration of her tenor.
Do know the implication of that to a person's career and reputation even though we don't value reputations in Nigeria.

I read that and just like she is hired she can be replaced at anytime.If someone that employ you, tells you I don't need your service anymore then you should know is time. Not to begin to say it's a tribal matter. Let me tell you it has no implication particularly since is government work and not be junior staff. Heads of agencies are replaced or retired left right and center all the time.The wise ones always have there exit plan ready even before any new government comes to power.

She should be grateful to God and move on. Did she ever plan her appointment there or did she rise through the ranks.Check the daily's when she was appointed by GEJ in 2014.

" President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday forwarded the name of Mrs. Chinelo Anohu-Amazu to the Senate for confirmation as substantive director general of the National Pension Commission (PenCom).

Jonathan, in a letter addressed to Senate President David Mark, said the appointment was in consonance with the provisions of the Pension Reform Act 2004 as amended.
Anohu-Amazu has been in acting capacity since December 2012when the tenure of the former D.G. M. K. Ahmad ended. She started her working career in 1998, meaning her years of experience fell short of the requirement of the former law which informed the decision to reduce it to 15 years to enable her be appointed, our correspondent reports.
However, the proposal was opposed by lawmakers including Senate President David Mark in May last year who said it was wrong to enact a law to favour a particular individual.

Industry operators also faulted the move to lower the bar for a DG, saying it portends grave implications for a fast growing industry that controls more than N4 trillion.
Her appointment as acting DG in December 2012 had sparked crisis at PenCom given that she was due to retire at the time, having served for eight years as company secretary on the level of director.
On November 20, 2013, in the wake of the succession crisis, President Jonathan appointed Anohu-Amazu as commissioner representing the South-East zone on the PenCom board which paved the way for her to continue in acting capacity pending the passage of the controversial amendments to the extant law which had barred her from holding the office as she was not qualified then.
In April, 2013, Jonathan forwarded the Pensions Reform bill to the National Assembly in which he requested for the reduction of the years of experience needed for a director general of the commission from 20 to 15 years, ostensibly paving the way for the eventual appointment of Anohu-Amazu as substantive PenCom boss."

So sound people are usually sacked for doing a great job? Abeg wait for the revelations of what she did to come out first before you start your dance of injustice!

She is good and sound at her job.Take it or leave it.Mind you she had survived similar exercise by this administration in the past.

All those making comments for the sacked DG ought to go back to the controversies sorrounding her appointment during GEJ. She was practically forced on Pencom by the then SGF Pius Anyim, because she had served 8 years with the former board and ought to have gone with them coupled with the fact that she does not have any requiste qualifications nor experience as she was appointed as secretary to the former board straight from school out of nepotism during
OBJ. You need to read the CV of the new DG to know that he is round peg in a round hole, an astute banker and pioneer MD/Chairman of premium pension

So in your opinion making the helmsman of an operator in the industry the DG of the industry's regulatory body is a fair practice??

He is not currently a helmsman but once was. I made reference to that to buttress his pension industry experience to the OP who claimed he lacks experience. And as you can see from the article above, she was once a beneficiary of nepotism and should not cry when she is been served

I am really disappointed by your defence of her sack. It i s very sad that at this point in time when nearly all the mdas are under performing that it is the one that has exceeded all expectation that the helms person is removed when those in ministry of darkness, potholes and carnage on our highways. are given pats on their backs.
To support your argument I think we can equally give meritorious awards to minister of darkness and his cohorts.

If the bold is the case then why leave her there? It was not like the PENCOM was not growing under the person before her. It was also projected that it was expanding and growing. That is the case,PENCOM can survive without her. We are always hell bent on keeping people as if they hold the solution to everything.
