Governor Soludo
By TINA TIMOTHY
A member of Anambra State Peace, Justice, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Ngozi Odumuko, has resigned his appointment, saying: “It is quite unclear to me since the inauguration, how the commission intends to achieve the real reason for which it was established.”
In his resignation letter addressed to the Anambra State Governor, Chukwuma Soludo, dated December 18, 2022, Odumuko said he decided to throw in the towel after prayers and consultations with his family.
“Mr Governor, I write to express my appreciation for the opportunity given to me to serve in the commission. And I would like to say a very big thank you for the opportunity and the confidence reposed on my person.
“Your Excellency, please if you may recall, we had intense discussions prior to the formation of this commission on how urgent it is for us to address the insecurity bedeviling our region and for us to collectively take immediate and urgent steps in solving this problem. It is quite unclear to me since the inauguration, how the commission intends to achieve the real reason for which it was established. I fear that things are not very clear to me in the commission’s approach in solving this urgent problem,” Odumuko wrote.
While thanking the Governor for the opportunity given to him to serve, he assured: “I will continue to provide all manners of support and pray for the government and people of Anambra State, the commission and pray for the good people of Alaigbo and Nigeria.”
“On this note I regret to say that I have prayed and discussed this with my immediate family and our joint resolve is that it is only honorable that I resign from this commission at this time. I will continue to provide all manners of support and pray for the government and people of Anambra State, the commission and pray for the good people of Alaigbo and Nigeria. Meanwhile, I sent an earlier note on the security and future of Alaigbo.
“Again, I thank you for the opportunity to serve.
“Thank you, Mr Governor,” Odumuko concluded in the letter sighted byNews Express.
