Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has sacked the 25 Commissioners in the State, Secretary to the State Government, Chief of Staff Government House, Senior Political Adviser, and others.
Their dismissal was contained in a statement issued by the immediate past Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu.
Okowa also ordered that all the affected former political appointees should hand over to the Permanent Secretaries in their respective ministries.
Aniagwu said the move was to give room for fresh blood to strengthen the administration’s agenda of a stronger Delta.
He listed those affected by the dissolution to include the 25 Commissioners, Secretary to the State Government, Mr Chiedu Ebie; Chief of Staff, Mr David Edevbie; Senior Political Adviser, Mr Funkekeme Solomon; Chief Strategist, Festus Agas and Special Advisers.
‘The Governor thanked members of the dissolved cabinet for their contributions to the successes of his administration in the past six years including those who joined in last two years.’
One Bernard Onomugo from the State Civil Service was also sacked for allegedly recruiting names into the state payroll.
