Ikpeazu sacks cabinet, recalls suspended Chief of Staff

 

Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, Saturday announced the dissolution of the state’s Executive Council.

Ikpeazu also announced the recall of his Chief of Staff, ACB Agbazuere, who was suspended in December 2020. Agbazuere was seen in a video spraying wads of Naira notes on eccentric preacher, Chukwuemeka Ohanaemere a.k.a. Odumeje.

In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Onyebuchi Ememanka, the governor directed the appointees affected by the dissolution to handover all government properties in their possession and their handover notes to the Permanent Secretaries of their respective ministries.

However, three commissioners – Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Uche Ihediwa; Commissioner for Information, John Okiyi Kalu and the Commissioner for Health, Dr Joe Osuji were not affected by the dissolution as their offices were spared.

The three commissioners, according to the government statement, would continue to perform the duties of their offices along with the Secretary to State Government, Chris Ezem.
