Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has formally sworn in Cliff Agbaeze as the new Commissioner for Agriculture. He replaces Professor Monica Ironkwe, who resigned from her job in July.
He also swore in the new Auditor General of the state, Mrs Ngozi Eke Ogbonnaya, as well as the chairman and members of the board of the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission, ABSIEC. Speaking while performing the ceremony at Government House, Umuahia, the governor said that his administration is founded on competence, accountability and responsibility. Governor Otti said that the appointments of the officials came freely to them without anyone requesting money from them.
While inaugurating the board members of the Abia State Independent Electoral Commission, ABSIEC, the governor, charged them not to bow to the pressure of compromise, as such would amount to suicide. 'Particularly to the board members of ABSIEC, you will come under heavy pressure. People would want you to compromise. They will bring money to you.
