Jubiliation In Fugar Over Oghiadhome's Removal

There were reports of jubilation on Tuesday in Fugar, Edo State, hometown of President Goodluck Jonathan’s erstwhile Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiadhome, who was sacked on Monday
Kinsmen of the former CoS, including market women,  who had accused him of neglecting his people, were said to have sang and danced round the community as news of Oghiadhome’s exit from office hit the town.
They were said to have commended the President for relieving Oghiadhome,  who was a former deputy governor in Edo State, of his position as the Chief of Staff.
Though a statement by Jonathan’s spokesman, Reuben Abati, on Monday said Oghiadhome voluntarily resigned from his position but the President was believed to have forced his CoS to resign.
One of  Oghiadhome’s kinsmen said, “We were happy when we heard the news. Of what relevance is Oghiadomhe to Fugar people that he has neglected? Rather he used his position to oppress and intimidate our poor people.
“Look at what the late (Mike) Akhigbe did for us, but sadly he (Oghiadomhe) preferred to keep enmity with him (Akhigbe) until his death. That was a man who brought him to reckoning in Edo State. For us, it is a welcome development.”
Reacting to the news of Oghiadhome’s removal, a former commissioner in Edo State, under the administration of ex-Governor Lucky Igbinedion, Mr. Bobby Ikazoboh, cautioned Nigerians against dissipating their energy over Oghiadhome’s sacking, saying the development had shown that the President was capable of taking tough decisions.
He said, “I don’t have enough information with which to comment on the particular circumstances of his removal or his legacy while in office. Also I am not sure it is wise to waste emotions on what we all know is inevitable as everything that has a beginning will surely have an end. Political appointments by their nature are transient and are not meant to last forever, so in my opinion nothing news worthy has transpired.
“Worthy of comment though is that contrary to the generally held view, Mr. President is capable of taking tough decisions.”
