Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita’s N3 billion scandal has taken a fresh a dimension as the Presidency on Monday, August 19, 2019 declared that it was not aware of the purported move of her resignation from office.

The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, in a text message said that the Presidency was not in possession of any letter of intent from Oyo-Ita to retire from service.

“Thanks. We have no such letter here, in the event that such a letter exists. This is our position.”

For those who don’t know, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had last week Tuesday grilled Oyo-Ita over alleged N3billion scam.

Besides, the embattled Head of Service of the Civil Service of the Federation was on Monday conspicuously absent at the opening ceremony of the 2019 Presidential Retreat for ministers designate and top government officials.

She was listed in the programme of the retreat as one of the resource persons and was expected to be among the top government officials to seat on the high table with the President.

But at the high table with President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday were the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari and National Security Adviser (NSA), Babagana Monguno.

On the President’s left side were the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, Deputy Senate President, Ahmed Idris Wase, and the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.
