…And hand him over for prosecution
A group – Concerned Abia Professionals (CAP) – has requested Abia State governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu to sack his Chief of Staff, Anthony Agbazuere, for lavishly spraying money at a guest inside the Government House, Umuahia.
The action had earned Agbazuere an indefinite suspension from office last week.
A statement by the Head of Media and Publicity of the CAP, Mr. Christian Nwogu, commended the governor for suspending Agbazuere from office, but urged him to hand the suspended CoS over to the anti-graft agency for prosecution.
The statement reads: “While we hail the government for Agbazuere’s suspension, we believe the only way the government can boost its public trust is to disengage Agbazuere and hand him over for proper investigation.
“Such act, as exhibited by the Chief of Staff, does not suit times like this when Nigerians are trying so hard to overcome the ruins made of businesses by COVID-19.
“Agbazuere’s attitude is incompatible with his office and so let the law take its course fully so that public confidence is not lost…”
