Obaseki Govt Gives Update On Alleged Sack Of Political Appointees

The Edo State Government has debunked what it on Tuesday night described as the fake news making the rounds on social media on the purported dissolution of the State Executive Council (EXCO) and sack of political appointees.

GWG.ng reports that the rumour had also alleged that Governor Godwin Obaseki had also dismissed all his political appointees.

“The rumour is the handiwork of mischief makers and fifth columnists who are out to cause panic and confusion in pursuit of their selfish agenda.

“The government urges all appointees (Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants and Special Assistants) to carry on with their duties and responsibilities and disregard the fake and fabricated news.”

GWG.ng reports that the news of the dissolution of the State Executive Council is coming in the wake of heightened activities political activities ahead of the forthcoming governorship election.
