Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, on Tuesday, sacked his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Emmanuel Uzor, Igbere TV reports.
Umahi in a statement made available to Igbere TV said he took the decision because Mr Uzor misrepresented him and Southeast governors in a statement he issued on the controversial National Livestock Transformation Programme.
The governor described the said statement by Mr Uzor as highly embarrassing and regrettable.
He said the position expressed by the sacked CPS was contrary to his on the issue.
The statement reads: âI just directed the termination of the appointment of my CPS for misrepresenting me and south-east governors on National livestock transformation plan programme of which I had issued a press statement on behalf of NEC after our last NEC meeting.
âMy former CPS was never authorised to talk to the press on the matter. His position is different from mine and that of the south-east governors.
âHis statement is so embarrassing and regrettableâ, Umahi added.
Mr Umahi directed Mr Uzor to hand over to his Principal Secretary, Clement Nweke, immediately.
He wished him well in his future endeavours.
