Governor of Abia State, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has announced the sack of all his aides and other political appointees.
A press release by the permanent secretary of the Abia government house, Elder Bernard Ogbonna, said the sack was necessary to pave way for the formation of a new team that will work with the governor upon his inauguration for a second term in office.

However, the governor asked his Commissioners, the Secretary to the State Government, his Personal Secretary, the Deputy Chief of Staff (both Governor and Deputy Governor) and the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to continue to perform their official duties till further notice.
The release read, “Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has approved the immediate dissolution of the body of appointees to the Governor, including Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, Special Assistants and Technical Officers.
“The Governor also directs that Commissioners, Secretary to State Government, Principal Secretary to the Governor, Deputy Chief of Staff (office of Governor and Deputy Governor) and the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor continue to perform their official duties till further notice.
“He wishes to express profound appreciation to all those who contributed to the success of his administration in the past four years and assures that their contributions to the making of a more progressive Abia would never be forgotten”.
