Outgoing Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has alleged that the disappearance of the state’s Accountant-General, Mr Cyril Agbele six days to hand over to the new administration is a conspiracy and in bad faith.
Daily Trust investigations revealed that the outgoing governor’s approvals from the state’s allocation for the month of May was running deep and may put the incoming administration in a very tight financial condition which the accountant general described as unhealthy.
The governor who received Permanent Secretaries on a farewell visit at Government House, Asaba yesterday said he was miffed at the sudden disappearance of the accountant general.
According to Uduaghan, the accountant general disappeared in the past six days. “The truth is that on Thursday we met and I told him we had some payments to make for the swearing-in ceremony. He did not object, he did not say no and on Sunday, I was calling him but he was not picking my calls and of course on Monday his phones had been put off and on Tuesday he sent in a paper that he was sick.
“By Wednesday, he sent in a memo and I find this act very inconsistent and irresponsible. If there is something that I am doing that is not right, he should be free to tell me it is not right rather than disappearing. Just imagine running the affairs of the state for a week without funds, even security men have started withdrawing from their posts across the state”, the governor said.
“It is a conspiracy to grind my administration to a halt and an attempt to set me up on a collision course with the incoming administration. I think is very irresponsible”, he added.
