(Nigeria) Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has terminated the appointment of his Executive Director on Poverty Alleviation and Mobilisation, Mrs Evelyn Igbafe, for “dereliction of duty, incompetence", among others.
Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, in a letter dated June 1 stated: “I write to inform you that the Governor of Edo State, Mr Adams  Oshiomhole has approved the termination of your appointment as Executive Director to the Governor on Poverty Alleviation and Mobilisation for dereliction of duty, incompetence and abdicating your responsibilities.
"Consequently, you are to return all government property with you, including vehicles and identity card, to the Directorate of Administration, Governor’s Office immediately.
"The governor wished her the best in her future endeavours."
Sources in the state said that her sack may not be unconnected to her criticism of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Edo State governorship primaties where Mr Godwin Obaseki emerged. It will be recalled that Mrs Igbafe had on Thursday alleged threat to her life over her faulting of the emergence of Obaseki.
