In breaking news, it has been gathered that the Secretary to the Government of Imo State, SGI, Sir Jude Ejiogu has been sacked with immediate effect by Chief Rochas Okorocha, Imo State Governor.
This decision was repeatedly broadcast Friday, on the radio and television channels of Imo Broadcasting Corporation, IBC.
According to the announcements, which was signed by the Principal Secretary to the Governor, Dr. Paschal Obi, the sacking was “with immediate effect”.
The Governor thanked Sir Ejiogu for his previous services to the state and wished him well in his future endeavours.
Mixed reactions have started trailing the sacking of the SGI, even some chieftains of All Progressives Congress, APC, who spoke yesterday, on strict grounds of anonymity, expressed shock at the sacking of Ejiogu. While some people described Ejiogu as “very loyal to a fault”, others were however of the view that “the man should have honourably quit the office when the ovation was highest”.
Another APC chieftain reasoned that “Since Sir Ejiogu came into the corridors of power on the ticket of the former deputy governor, Sir Jude Agbaso that was similarly sacked by Okorocha in questionable circumstances, he should have known that he was neck in line to go”.
No official reason has been given for Sir Ejiogu’s termination.
