At least 10 members of the
cabinet of Seriake Dickson, governor of Bayelsa state, have resigned.
Their resignations come barely a
month to the state’s governorship election scheduled to hold November 16.
Among those who resigned are
Markson Fefegha, commissioner for mineral resources; Ombu Napoleon, senior
special assistant to the governor on community development; Iniruo Ipogi,
special assistant on student affairs; Stephen Diver, special adviser on
inter-party affairs; and Natus Zebakame, special adviser on culture.
In his resignation letter dated
October 2, Fefegha said he decided to quit the cabinet “after a period of deep
reflection”.
Fefegha, who had been serving in
the administration since 2012, said his exit from Dickson’s government will
take effect from Friday, October 18, 2019.
Describing himself as one of the
“first eleven” in the cabinet of Dickson, Fefgha blamed his exit on “political
uncertainty and other reasons personal to me”.
He added that “as the Holy Book
says; there is a season and a purpose for everything under the heaven.”
Fefegha is the first commissioner
to leave Dickson’s cabinet since political appointees defected from the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the governorship election.
In another letter dated October
16, Napoleon whose resignation appears most recent, said his reason is
personal.
On Friday, the governor had
appointed 60 aides which he said would “help his government finish well.”
