Breaking news: Obiano Sacks Adviser for supporting Jonathan

 The Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Willie Obiano yesterday sacked his Special Assistant on Politics, Barr. Joe- Martins Uzodike for supporting the Presidential bid of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

 The sack was dramatic as it took place while EXCO meeting was on yesterday. The Governor who expressed disgust at Joe-Martins's politics directed the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Oseloka Obaze to immediately go to his office and write a sack letter to 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.
