“I do not want my people to keep counting years in service for me while in reality nothing good is forthcoming.”

Mr Udofot, who is also a local politician, published his ‘resignation’ letter on Facebook on Sunday.

“I do not want my people to keep counting years in service for me while in reality nothing good is forthcoming,” he said in the open letter which has elicited controversy in the state. “I was the chief of staff throughout his first term, we fought and won the second term and we continued the government.

“When I asked him why he reduced me from N100,000 a month to N25,000 he said he stopped paying me salary, that they have compensated me with the ward chairman and that I am now a delegate, so I will start getting money,” he said.The chairman, Mr Akpan, denied appointing Mr Udofot as his chief of staff. He said the local government administration law in the state does not make provision for such an office.
