He went on to say that the State Government has no issue with Chief Charles Orie, therefore could not have resigned from a non-existent position since his tenure was not renewed.
He said,”it is necessary to put the records straight so as not to mislead members of the public.
The truth of the matter, is that Chief Charles Orie’s tenure as chairman of ISOPADEC was not renewed. He, therefore, could not have resigned.”he stated
