The governor of Enugu state, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has fired his executive assistants from northern senatorial district over their alleged inability to sensitise, mobilise and promote government programmes, policies and interests.

The report said Ugwuanyi regretted that the former executive assistants did not live up to their responsibilities in the various wards in terms.

NAIJ.com learnt that the governor asked the sacked aides to go back to their various wards to revalidate their mandate and obtain fresh endorsement from the people as this is the only condition for them to be reappointed.

Ugwuanyi, who addressed the Enugu north senatorial district committee of the Peoples Democratic Party in Nsukka, said the voter registration was vital to the fortunes of the party and the state in the 2019 general elections.

“The ongoing voter registration is the key, it is very important to us. It is beyond the election. It is about all of us.

“Unfortunately, the EAs appointed to drive this campaign for the government at the grass roots have not done much in terms of sensitization and mobilisation.
