Kenedy Tonjo-West, senior special
adviser to Bayelsa governor on Niger Delta youth matters, has resigned.
This is coming a few days to the
governorship election in the state.
Tonjo-West did not give reasons
for the resignation in a letter dated November 13 and addressed to Seriake
Dickson, the governor.
However, he expressed his
appreciation to the governor for giving him the opportunity to serve.
“I appreciate the rare privilege
to work under your administration from October 2015 to February 2016 and from
December 2016 to November 2019, an opportunity that deepened my understanding
of politics, campaign promises and good governance,” he said.
Tonjo-West, however, said he
still remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In October, at least 10 members
of Dickson’s cabinet resigned.
Among those who resigned were
Markson Fefegha, commissioner for mineral resources; Ombu Napoleon, senior
special assistant to the governor on community development; Iniruo Ipogi,
special assistant on student affairs; Stephen Diver, special adviser on
inter-party affairs; and Natus Zebakame, special adviser on culture.
The election is a two-horse race
between the governor’s preferred candidate, Douye Diri of the PDP and David
Lyon of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
