Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi has sacked most of his political appointees from Ivo Local Government Area of the State.
One of his former allies and former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Pius Anyim is from Ishiagu community in the local government area.
The sack comes barely 24 hours after Senator Anyim wrote an open letter to Umahi and copied President Muhammadu Buhari, and heads of security agencies.
In the said letter, Mr. Anyim alleged that Umahi was plotting to kill him, among other issues he raised.
The letter was a reaction to an earlier accusation by Umahi that the forth Senate President was plotting with other top People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leaders in the state to unleash violence in the state.
Mr. Umahi had last week named the other persons allegedly in league with Mr. Anyim as Senators Obinna Ọgba and Sam Egwu and Acting Southeast Zonal Vice Chairman of the Southeast, Ali Odefa.
He said they were plotting with cultists and IPOB members to make the state ungovernable.
The duo and other Leaders have fallen out following the governor’s defection from the PDP to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
