Governor Wike fires Special Advisers

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has fired all his Special Advisers.

A statement by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Governor on Electronic Media, however, noted that the Special Adviser on Religious Affairs, Bishop Winston Iwo retained his post.

Recall that the governor sacked all his commissioners on July 24 and he is yet to reconstitute a new cabinet.

With the disengagement of all the Special Advisers, the governor can best be said to be running the executive arm of government with purely career civil servants without partisan politicians.
