The Governing Council Chairman of the Abia State Polytechnic, John Nwangborogwu, has tendered his resignation from the position effective immediately.
Nwangborogwu revealed this in a resignation letter addressed to the Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu on Thursday.
He attributed his decision to constraining circumstances affecting his assignment.
The resignation letter read: “Your Excellency, the Executive Governor of Abia State, leveraging on the provisions of Section 22 of Edict No. 8 of 1994 and through a letter referenced POL/SSG/A.31/XXIX/II/310, dated November 26th, 2019, and issued by the Secretary to the Government of Abia State, had appointed me Chairman of Abia State Polytechnic Governing Council, which, by law, was a three year tenure.
“On the 20th of July 2022, Your Excellency announced a dissolution of the governing council which, as at then, had about 5 months to complete the tenure.
“On the 4th of November 2022, the governor recalled the governing council together with the equally suspended management of the institution. Today marks two months, two weeks and two days of the recall, leaving approximately two months and two months to the end of the statutory three year tenure.
“Sir, with humility and due sense of responsibility, I hereby tender my resignation of that appointment. I do this voluntarily as an appropriate response to certain constraining circumstances prevalent around and affecting my assignment for sometime now.
“I must express my profound gratitude to the governor for finding me worthy to serve Abia State in that capacity, and particularly so for recalling the dissolved governing council as above referred. Thank you and God bless you sir.”
Hours after his resignation as the Chairman of Abia State Polytechnic Governing Council, Nwangborogwu has officially announced his resignation from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
In a letter addressed to the Aku na Ekpu/Eziama na Obuba ward 6 chairman of Isialangwa South Local Government Area, dated 12th of January, 2023, he said: “I have taken this decision and step in response to the dictates of my
conscience and current political convictions and dispositions which implicate obvious conflict of interests, among other reasons.
“I appreciate all members of the party in the ward and beyond for the very
wonderful fellowship we shared over the years, even as I wish everyone well.
“If within the period of my membership of the party I had injured anyone in
any way, I sincerely apologies to such a one. On my part, I bear no grudges
to anyone either.
Once again, thank you very much for the warm association we had.”
