Contrary to speculations peddled by on Cross River cyberspace that Okoi Obono-Obla, the Special Adviser to the President on Prosecution has been sacked and demoted to the position of Non Executive Commissioner (South South) in the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Chief Obono-Obla has taken to his social media account to condemn the insinuations as 'malicious, vexatious, and demented'. He referred to those holding such positions as being 'detractors and bad belle people'. See full text:
*Some malicious, vexatious, and demented people are peddling the falsehood that President Muhammadu Buhari has removed me from my position as Special Assistant on Prosecution, Federal Ministry of Justice. Nothing can be farther from the truth! It is a figment of the fertile imagination of detractors and bad belle people!
I remain the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Prosecution, Federal Ministry of Justice; Secretary, Administration of Criminal Justice Monitoring Committee; Member National Prosecution Coordinating Committee and Member Constitutional and Electoral Reform Committee . The President has also graciously and as a clear manifestation of the confidence he has on me nominated me as Non-Executive Commissioner to represent the South South Region in the prestigious and strategic Nigerian Communication Commission, the regulator of the telecommunication industry in the country!
I therefore urge my friends and well wishers to disregard and discount the antics of wailing detractors! To God be the Glory!
