“It is the prerogative of the Governor to appoint when he wants it. He will tell us and we will announce it and you will also get the release to that effect,” he added.
Until his appointment as the Chief of Staff, Amadi who is from Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of the state where Wike hails from, was the Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the LGA, and a known ally of the FCT Minister.
His resignation brings to 10 the number of key members of the Fubara administration who have parted ways with him as a result of the fallout between the Governor and his erstwhile political godfather.
