Why exactly did a senior public officer resign from his influential position in government recently? Well, it has emerged that the strategist could have quit in a huff after he was asked to leave in peace or be shown the door. The crux of the matter is that the officer had fallen out with his boss after a controversial dispatch that appeared to challenge a decision by a high-ranking state officer. The officer, after realising that he had been given a cold shoulder in the past days, decided to call it a day. A key and powerful state officer was reportedly unhappy after the besieged strategist gave stinging criticism of his decisions.
