LAGOS JULY 11 (URHOBOTODAY) –Secretary to Delta State Government, Mr. Ovuozourie Macaulay, has called on members of the State Executive Council to see the recent dropping of the Finance Commissioner, Mr. Bernard Okumagba, as normal administrative function.
He charged them to brace up to the challenge as the reshuffling was not yet over.
Macaulay gave the counsel when he hosted commissioners in the state to a party at his official residence in Asaba.
He said: “Political office holders and Deltans should see the minor cabinet reshuffle and what would happen as a normal process.
“Those of us that have been fortunate to be re-appointed in the second tenure of the Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan administration should be grateful to the governor for the opportunity to serve the state.”
Authoritative sources hinted Vanguard that a major reshuffling was in the offing and might be announced before next week, thus eliciting anxiety.
Meantime, the Chairman, Coalition of Registered Political Parties and pioneer chairman of Inter-Party Advisory Council, Mr. Christian Abeh, has said that the total overhauling of the cabinet was long overdue.
He said in a statement that “Deltans quite appreciate the governor’s partial executive dissolution, but will celebrate if he sacks his entire executive, including the special advisers and the State Universal Basic Education Board, SUBEB.”
