The Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Willie Obiano Monday sacked his Special Assistant on Politics Matters, Barr. Joe- Martins Uzodike for alleged supporting Presidential Goodluck Ebele Jonathan cause against that of the state and the All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA.
The socking news was brokered to Ashiwaju.org by a source, disclosed that the sacked special adviser had on different fora jettisoned state government command, shortly after he was appointed as the only APGA member representative in the President Goodluc Jonathan campagin team.
The Governor who expressed displeasure at Joe-Martins's conduct in reporting Jonathan politics even when even that mattes to the state is been mentioned in the council.Ashiwaju.org was rightly informed that the unguarded conduct of the erstwhile commissioner for information during Governor Peter Obi;s administration spurred the governor to immediately direct the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Oseloka Obaze to file a sack letter for Barr Uzodike. The letter, we learnt, was ready before the EXCO ended.
Infuriated Obiano, who spoke annoyingly and without restraint said it was very saddening that a man who called himself his Adviser on Politics should carry the re-election bid of the President to the detriment of his own party. He said even when some of the things he was doing were tactical, that it was a surprise to him that an Adviser could not read the lips of his boss nor understand his body language. He said his aides should ask themselves question on why APGA chose in law to Gov. Rotimi Amaechi, Dozie Nwankwo as their House of Representatives candidate.
Attempts to speak to Barr. Uzodike was not fruitful, but investigations show that trouble started for him when he was named as a member of the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan's Campaign Committee. Barr. Uzodike who accepted to serve on the Committee on the understanding that APGA is working for Jonathan, was said to have continued to properly brief the Governor on the outcome of their numerous meetings.
Barr. Uzodike, who was also the Director-General of the Obiano Campaign Organization was said to be one EXCO member that defied the directives from Obiano during one of EXCO meetings to EXCO members not to visit or call the former Governor Peter Obi on phone, threatening not only to sack anyone that disobeyed the directives, but also to disgrace the person.
Uzodike did not pick his calls as at press time as well the Commissioner for Information , Tony Onyima said he was in IGR meeting and could not speak
