A statement by Wike’s Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, said on Tuesday:

“His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, commends the members the Rivers State Executive Council for their service and contribution to the development of the State. He has also wished them the best in all their future endeavours.”

It instructed the sacked officials to hand over government properties in their possession to the most senior officers in their respective ministries.
