River State governor Nyesom Wike sacks all his commissioners

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.
