A Special Adviser to Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi has stepped down from her position in order to save her marriage.
Deaconess Emerald Udeakaji, in a letter dated December 30, said that she’s resigning due to family issues as she can’t watch her family tear apart.
According to her, her devotion to the government is taking a toll on her family and she had no choice but to make the decision for her children’s sake.
Udeakaji thanked the governor and his family for the opportunity given to serve the state and wished Umahi well in his future political endeavour.
The letter reads: “I sincerely want to thank His Excellency and her Excellency and the entire Umahi family for the opportunity they gave to me to serve in this government.
“Thank you so much, Sir and Ma. My resignation is born out of family issues. I have given my 100% loyalty to this government but my family is tiring apart.
“The Bible says, “Woman be submissive to your husband”. The Bible also said that two shall become one”. As a Deaconess that I am, I have to go back and study my scripture very well. In obedience to these scriptures, I decided to resign and save my marriage.
“I sincerely and most humbly appreciate all that you have done for me. I am not an ungrateful person and can never be. Please bear with me for my children’s sake. I wish you well in your future political endeavour.”
