Governor Dickson’s aide resigns, accuses employer of intimidation, oppression

Chinedu Mba, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Baylesa, Seriake Dickson, has resigned his appointment on Tuesday, September 15.

In his letter of resignation, Mba said he was owed salary arrears for over one year, while also claiming that he faced intimidation, oppression, and unfair treatment, in over 3 years he worked with Governor Dickson.

Mba blamed the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Edmund Allison-Oguru, for being responsible for his troubles, saying that he had a habit of always making false allegations against him.

His resignation letter, dated September 14, was addressed to the Governor.

“My salaries and allowances were not paid for over one year. My official car, Hyndai Accent, with registration number AO 115 BY was seized. All these unfair treatments are coming from the office of the SSG.

“Despite all the mistreatment, I still worked hard for the restoration government. As a non-indigene leader, I kept mobilizing non-indigenes for the second term ambition of the Governor hoping that all these issues will be addressed.”
