There is growing anxiety in Delta State, particularly among Heads of Personnel Management of the 25 local government councils over strong indications of a possible announcement of the appointment of Caretaker Committees to run the councils, Fresh Angle scoop can reveal.
Fresh Angle understands that some of the HPMs are already tidying up their desk to avoid any form of liability or loose ends in the event of a formal handover of power to the political appointees that have been waiting endlessly for almost a year.
When Fresh Angle put a call through to one of the awaiting appointees who is likely to chair one of the councils, to ascertain the gist, his response was “well, I don’t know for now, we have been hearing lots of rumour but let’s hope it’s for real this time”.
A PDP stalwart who confirmed the speculation to Fresh Angle explained that but for the issue of DESOPADEC that is yet to be resolved between Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and the State House of Assembly, the governor would have publicly announced the committees.
It remains to be seen how members of the Chief Edwin Kiagbodo Clark faction of the PDP and members of the opposition parties who are not incorporated in the impending Caretaker Committees will react because those to be appointed are solely members of the governor’s faction of PDP that have been in the wait for almost a year.
Speculations are rife that when appointed, members of the Caretaker Committees are to spend a maximum of 6 months in office and “prepare grounds” for next year’s local government poll.
