Outgoing Governor of Delta State, Emmanuel Uduaghan, has confirmed the disappearance of the State Accountant General (AG), Mr Cyril Chuma Agbele, six days to handover to a new administration.
SaharaReporters, on Tuesday, exclusively reported the disappearance of Mr. Agbele following alleged financial pressure from Uduaghan.
Confirming the AG disappearance Thursday, when Permanent Secretaries and retired Permanent Secretaries paid him a farewell visit at Government House, Uduaghan stated that the disappearance was done in bad faith towards him.
Uduaghan, who expressed surprise that after a fruitful discussion on arrangements for the inauguration of the new administration, including security and entertainment, the Accountant General made him incommunicado.
"The Accountant General has disappeared in the last five to six days. The truth is that on Thursday we met and I told him we have some payments to make in the areas of the swearing-in ceremony coming up tomorrow (today), he did not object, he did not say no and on Sunday, I was calling him but he was not picking my calls.
"And of course on Monday his phones have been put off and on Tuesday, he sent in a paper that he was sick. By Wednesday, he sent in a memo and I find this act very inconsistent and irresponsible,” the Governor stated.
"You know the security implication of this particularly when peace and security is a key agenda of my administration and I cannot compromise on it. It is a conspiracy to grind my administration to a halt and an attempt to set me up on a collision course with the incoming administration. I think is very irresponsible." Uduaghan lamented.
It was reliably learned that the disappearance of the AG was planned and executed by the Governor-elect, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, who is from the same Ika with the absconded AG.
