Gov Rochas Okorocha sacked Nkiru Sylvanus because of her....

Model and actress, Shirley Igwe in an interview with Vanguard, addressed reports that Nikiru Slyvanus was sacked to make way for her to become Governor Rochas Okorocha's Principal Protocol officer. According to her, she simply sent in her CV and got the job, but she kinda got overly defensive addressing how she got the job. Lol.

On her typical day like as the PPO to the Imo State Governor...
"I go to work everyday and after that I return home."
On her job description...
"I've been screaming this: everyone knows what ' Principal Protocol' means, right? Protocol is protocol. People can as well check the dictionary or Google the word to know what it entails. There's not much explanation to it. The word 'protocol' defines itself.
Asked how she got the job...
"People go to offices and submit their CVs and applications. The same way people get jobs in offices is the same way I got mine."
You seemed worked up over something concerning your job...
"No, all I am saying is that protocol is all about protocol. My job as a protocol officer to Imo State Governor is not different from any other protocol officer found anywhere in the world."
Do you mean you actually applied for the job?
"Yes, I did. I didn't get that job as an actress. I applied for the job and submitted my CV alongside. Nollywood didn't get me that job, I got the job as an unemployed youth seeking a job, not with my status as an actress."
Some people were of the opinion that because Nkiru Sylvanus was sacked from the governor's cabinet, she had to be replaced with another Nollywood face?
"I have to tell you that a change of cabinet doesn't mean one was sacked. There was a change of cabinet which I knew nothing about. I don't know how her name got into the picture. I think it's some bloggers trying to do some mischief. It wasn't an exchange or replacement. And Nkiru Sylvanus' job had nothing to do with my job."
What has working with the government exposed you to?
"A lot of things. I can be able to tell you a lot about politics and governance. It has exposed me to a lot of things that people who are my age don't know or won't know even in 10 years to come. It has been a big privilege and I thank God for that."
How did you get your first professional shot in the entertainment world?
"One of the people I met was Otega Obaseki. I don't know if he's still in the entertainment industry. When I met him, he said if I wanted to do movies, I would have to take pictures so I could send them out to producers."
"So I went for a photo shoot at Shola Creative Studios. After taking the pictures, Shola told me my face was good for Orange Drugs Advert. He also said the auditions will be coming up soon and that he would call me when it commenced.
"At that point, my father didn't want me to act, because I was still in school. So I put acting aside and started modeling. After a week, I got a call from Shola to come for the Orange Drugs advert audition. That was how my first contract started with Orange Drugs. I also did for Multilinks, Oceanic Bank, Skye Bank and others."
