Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, on Tuesday sacked the state executive council and 27 local government transition committees with immediate effect, while many were observing the Biafra Day celebration.
He also ordered the Transition Committee (TC) chairmen to hand over to the directors of administration and general services of their respective council areas.
A statement by the Principal Secretary to the governor, Mr Pascal Obi, in Owerri directed all former members of the executive to hand over to permanent secretaries or the most senior director in their ministries.
Obi quoted the governor as appreciating the invaluable contributions of the affected appointees to the success recorded by his rescue mission administration and wishes them well in their future endeavours.
While the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemodo, switched off his phone to avoid comments, it would be recalled that the governor at a recent function in Owerri, told journalists of his plans to sack his cabinet.
Okorocha accused members of his cabinet of sabotaging him and the administration.
