Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, has dismissed
all his commissioners, just 24 hours after the Commissioner for
Information, Austin Tam-George, resigned from the cabinet.
A statement issued Saturday
by the governor’s spokesperson, Simeon Nwakaudu, directed the
commissioners to hand over to the permanent secretaries in their
respective ministries.
“Rivers State Governor,
Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has dissolved the State Executive Council. The
governor directed all former commissioners to handover to their
respective Permanent Secretaries. Governor Wike thanked the former
commissioners for their service to the state and wished them well in
their future endeavours.”
The statement did not give reasons for the termination of the commissioners' appointments.
Governor Wike had earlier sacked his Commissioner for Works, Bathuel Harrison.
The
governor has now joined the Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha and
Governor of Abia state, Okezie Ikpeazu who also dissolved their
cabinet this year.
