Abia State's Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Prof. Kenneth Kalu, has reportedly resigned, sparking concerns about the stability of Governor Alex Otti's administration. According to sources, Prof. Kalu submitted his resignation during Monday's Executive Council meeting, citing a desire to reunite with his family in Canada ¹ ² ³.
The government initially remained silent on the matter, but later confirmed Prof. Kalu's exit, framing it as a "leave of absence" to attend to domestic matters in Canada. Governor Otti thanked Prof. Kalu for his service and wished him well ² ⁴.
This resignation adds to a growing list of high-profile departures from Otti's administration, including former Commissioners Chima Oriaku (Science and Technology) and Monica Ironkwe (Agriculture). Critics argue that these exits raise questions about internal cohesion and governance direction within the administration ¹ ⁵ ⁶.
