“This is a normal government procedure, our president is the
appointing authority, he can appoint the governors and he can relief
them at any time, if you happen to be at the secretariat general of
Wau state, you can see a lot of names (of former governors) on the
board, so they were not to stay forever, you can expect any time to be
relieved," he told Sudan Tribune on Friday.
"I will continue to be an ordinary member of SPLM ruling party, I will
be re-appoint in any position at any time,” he added.
No reason has been advanced for the removal by President Kiir or any
government officials. This silence opened the door for speculation and
rumours to explain the presidential decision by Ach’s failure to
control the situation and implement the government policy.
Acho, however, said he was appointed at a critical time during the
conflict of Wau in June 2016, and he managed to contain the security
situation in the state.
“My main task was to see to the security situation in Wau is to be
contained which I did and I thank my colleagues in the security organs
from the SPLA, national security and other organized forces, we did
our best and I hope my colleague the new governor will continue
following my footsteps,” he said.
Acho remains a member of the State Legislative Assembly. Also, he was
the Western Bahr el Ghazal State Legislative Assembly Speaker before
the division of the ten states into 28 states.
“I will continue to support my ruling party through my position am
holding in the state assembly as an MP,” said Acho.
He also welcomed the appointment of his new successor Angelo Taban
Bajio and called on Wau state citizens to rally behind Bajio for
peaceful co-existence.
“I know Angelo Taban who is my brother. I knew him very well and I
hope he will fully do his assignment, I’ am calling upon the people of
Wau to rally behind Angelo Taban such that we all complete the mission
of bringing peace back to our state,” said Acho.
He stressed that Taban has the required experienced to lead the state
and administrate his affairs properly.
