Okezie Ikpeazu, the governor of Abia State, has mandated the immediate removal of all political appointees in the state.
Special Assistants, Senior Special Assistants, Special Advisers, and Technical Officers are among those who will be impacted, which will increase the number of appointees that the governor has fired as a result of his unsuccessful senatorial campaign and inability to install a replacement.
The governor further instructed the State Accountant General to ensure that all appointees receive their March 2023 stipends right away.
The State Government’s Secretary, Barrister Chris Ezem, announced the dismissal.
The governor wished them luck in their future endeavors and thanked them for their contributions and services to the state.
