From Okey Sampson, Umuahia
Abia State Government has said two of his Commissioners resigned and were not sacked, contrary to widespread reports.
Governor Alex Otti had about two months ago suspended the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Ngozi Okoronkwo from office even as he relieved his former Chief Press Secretary, Kazie Uko of his appointment without adducing any reason.
The affected Commissioners were that of Science and Technology, Chima Oriaku and Agriculture, Professor Monica Ironkwe.
