Governor Adams Oshiomhole, yesterday, sacked four commissioners in the state, saying that the decision was part of efforts to strengthen the ministries they headed, Vanguard reported earlier today.
The affected Commissioners are Chief Lucky James (Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs), Mrs. Maigida Blessing, (Women Affairs), Mr. Patrick Aguinede, (Basic Education) and Mr. Chris Ebare, (Energy and Water Resources).
A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Public Affairs, Prince Kassim Afegbua, said the sack of the commissioners was “In line with government’s commitment to strengthen the system towards optimal performance.
“They are directed to hand over all government property in their possession to the Permanent Secretaries in their respective ministries. The governor expresses his appreciation to the former commissioners for their services to the state and wishes them well in their future endeavours.The termination is with immediate effect.”
Vanguard learned that more heads may roll in the state executive council, following the political interest of some of the commissioners ahead the 2016 governorship election.
It was learned that some of them have been involved in nocturnal meetings despite the warnings by the governor that the activities of his administration must not be distracted because of the 2016 governorship election.
The sacking of the four commissioners could be a clear warning by the governor to others who may want to distract his administration in the name of politics.
