[dropcap] D[/dropcap]r. Tony Nwaka has resigned his appointment as Executive Assistant to the governor of Delta State, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa after six months. In his facebook post on Tuesday with the title “TO THE NEXT PHASE: TODAY I RESIGNED MY APPOINTMENT WITH DELTA STATE GOVERNMENT,” Dr. Nwaka, who was appointed Executive assistant to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, said he has resigned from the appointment from today.
He said the appointment was received with mixed feelings from the people of Delta state, considering his pedigree, though some viewed it as an opportunity to render service to the people of Delta state.
The post reads in part: “Whatever the case, permit me that I do not dwell on my experiences since the appointment. For I have learnt that in all situations we should give thanks and glory to God. He alone knows the purposes for the vicissitudes in the affairs of men. Indeed as mortal man we learn everyday.
“At any rate, I once again thank His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, Governor of Delta State, for the opportunity to partake in his government. Incidentally, I now have to move on. I must now heed the call of my people, who desire that I re-energize my political career in a manner that will make me directly accountable to them and God.
“I shall, therefore, take the liberty of my disengagement from the state government to seek the best possible way to serve the people, using the available vehicles in our democratic arrangement. In this vein, I will be guided by not only the lessons of the past but also the realities of today; especially the increasing yearning of our people for a more effective representation at the different levels of government.
“I thank all my friends and well wishers for their prayers, counsel, criticisms and support over the years. Rest assured I will keep you all posted on the next step forward, believing that collectively we can truly fashion a more fulfilling direction for our people.”
