There is absolutely nothing one would not see and
hear in Nigeria. I thought the non payment of salaries
was affecting only the poor masses?
Senior Special Assistant to Governor Seriake Dickson
of Bayelsa State on non-indigenes, Chief Chinedu Mba,
has resigned his appointment.
Mba, who is the Chairman, Board of Trustees,
Association of Non-Indigene in Bayelsa State (ANBS)
and played a key role in the governor’s victory in the
2012 poll, hinged his decision on non-payment of his
salaries and allowances for over a year.
Mba in his letter of resignation said he faced
intimidation, oppression and unfair treatments in the
over three years he served the governor.
He said his travails were masterminded by the
Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Edmund
Allison-Oguru, whom he accused of levelling
unfounded allegations against him.
He said no memo was approved for his office within the
period he worked for the government.
In the letter dated September 14 and addressed to the
governor, Mba said: “Since l was appointed till date, l
had suffered intimidation, oppression, unfair treatments
and unfounded allegations always leveled against me
without proof from the office of the SSG.
“My salaries and allowances were not paid for over one
year. My official car, Hyundai Accent, with registration
number AO 115 BY was seized. All these unfair
treatments are coming from the office of the SSG.
“Despite all the mistreatment, I still worked hard for the
restoration government. As a non-indigene leader, I
kept mobilising non-indigenes for the second term
ambition of the governor hoping that all these issues
will be addressed.”
Mba recalled that he wrote many letters to the governor
reporting his travails but to no avail.
He, however, thanked the governor for giving him an
opportunity to serve the state.
