Delta State Commissioner for Education (Technical ) and former member of the House of Representatives, member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituencyncy, Hon Joan Oyemaechi has resigned her appointment as a commissioner, over the ongoing crisis rocking her local government on who to produce the next local government chairmanship candidate in Aniocha South local government area of Delta State.
In a viral video where Hon Joan stated clearly that her resignation was to pave the way for her brother, who is contesting the Aniocha South local government chairmanship, to enable him to scale through since there had been much bickering kicking against one family having the two positions, Commissioner and Council Chairman.
She was quoted saying while addressing the congregation at her church in Asaba “You are now seeing a former Commissioner I have resigned my appointment….”
She made it clear that it was the turn of the Ubulu-Ukwu clan (her clan) to produce the Chairmanship since the other two clans had rotated the same position among themselves in the past.
Three clans comprise Aniocha South local government area of Delta State, Nigeria contesting which clan is equitably qualified to produce the next Chairman of the local government Council coming up in July.
The clans are namely – Ogwashi Uku, Ubulu-Ukwu, and Nsukwa.
The development prompted a recent protest staged by a group known as Equity Crusaders in Nsukwa Clan, claiming that it was their turn, accusing Joan Onyemaechi popularly known as Ada Anioma of trying to disrupt the zoning formula due to alleged greed and avarice.
