Omusati governor Erginus Endjala plans to step down from his position on June 20. He spoke about leaving office during the Olufuko Annual Festival dinner at Outapi on Saturday. Endjala told the crowd this might be his final speech as their regional leader. His contract extension runs out at the end of the month. Some local people have criticized him for staying in the job longer than expected.
Endjala thanked residents for supporting him during his time as governor. He promised to remain active in the community after leaving office. The governor said he will continue attending local events as a regular person. Former president Nangolo Mbumba extended all regional governors terms for three months in March. Endjala faced controversy in 2017 when he made offensive comments about ethnic groups that spread on social media and later apologized publicly.
