Akwa Ibom State Governor, Umo Eno has berated Members of his State Executive for disrespecting his office.
The Governor expressed disappointment over what he described as a growing trend of insubordination among his cabinet members.
The Governor was visibly angry after commissioners and appointees abandoned him after an official engagement and left his convoy to be driven alone back to government house.
Eno who described the action as disregard for leadership protocol, frowned that the incident is becoming a recurring attitude among his aides.
He insisted that members of the state Executive Council and other political appointees must accompany him back to his destination after a public event — a protocol he said must be respected at all times.
In a stern warning to his team, Governor Eno emphasized, once again, that any appointee or commissioner found guilty of disobedience or neglect of official decorum would face immediate dismissal.
“For the umpteenth time, I must remind everyone that after any official function, it is mandatory for my aides and commissioners to ensure I’m seen off properly — either to my lodge or office.
“This is not about ego, it’s about discipline and respect for the office of the governor.”
