According to Evelyn, Ohisa served as the SPLM State Secretariat General, SG, after being elected democratically following the May 2008 SPLM State General Convention which was held in Torit. On Monday the 28th of March, in a closed door State Liberation Council’s meeting for the party that was held at Hotel Torit, Ohisa who sat next to the chairperson, Louis Lobong Lojore decided to leave his seat while joining other liberation members in the normal membership seats. The State SPLM Spokesperson who is also the Assistant Secretary for Information & Culture, Ms. Lorot, explained to Gurtong in an exclusive interview at SPLM State Secretariat office in Torit. Mr. Felix Okanyi Remijo, the State party’s deputy chairperson was immediately appointed by the Chairperson to serve in the capacity of SG for 3 months after which elections for a new SG by SPLM State Liberation Council will be held. Following the March 28 liberation meeting, Governor Lobong who is also the present Governor for the State has told the press that Ohisa’s resignation was welcome by the party members after reaching a consensus during the deliberations on thorny issues affecting the system and smooth administration of the party within Eastern Equatoria State. “Felix Okanyi has been nominated to steer the office for three month after which the council will meet again to elect a new state party Secretary General,” He added. Mr. Ohisa declined to elaborate to Gurtong the reasons for his resignation; instead he decided to avoid conflicts between him and his party members, especially his boss the SPLM State Chairperson Mr. Louis Lobong if he revealed in depth. However, Okanyi welcomes provisional nomination to the position and promises to serve up to the higher expectation of the party.
