Mr. Ikenga Ugochinyere has resigned his appointment as the Special Assistant to the President of the Senate on Youth and Student Matters. Ikenga in a letter dated November 3, 32017 to the President of the Senate, Sen. Bukola Saraki stated that his decision was in pursuant of a new political ambition, having being appointed a National Chairman of a Political Party he recently founded.
He explained that his new position as a National Chairman of a political party may no longer allow him discharge his duties effectively but thanked him for the opportunity to serve. The letter as gleaned from Punch read;
“Sequel to the recent issuance of certificate of registration by Independent National Electoral Commission to my newly formed political party and my emergence as the national chairman, I wish to tender my resignation as your Senior Special Assistant on Youth and Student Matters. This is because of the legal and Political Implications of my new status as a result of which I cannot be able to discharge my functions to you. Your Excellency, it has been a pleasure working with a detribalized and youth-friendly leader like you for over two years now.
One of the most cherished moments of my public service life is working with the Office of the Senate President and you in particular. Your commitment to the economic transformation of our country and creation of the job for millions of young Nigerians, using legislative process, is outstanding. You have kept all your pledges to the Nigerian people and helped rekindle the hope that a New Nigeria is possible.
