There are indications that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike will be reconstituting the State Executive Council.

The governor had on May 24 announced the dissolution of the council through his Special Assistant, Kelvin Ebiri, with immediate effect.

Governor Wike’s decision to reconstitute the council followed his communication to the state Assembly for the screening and confirmation of three Commissioner nominees.

The Speaker of the Assembly, Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani, on Friday read Governor Wike’s letter during plenary.

The nominees include two former Commissioners on the immediate past cabinet and one former Special Adviser to Governor Wike.

They are former Commissioners Professor Zaccheaus Adangor (SAN), who was the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, and Isaac Kamalu, who was the Commissioner for Finance.

The other nominee is Dr Alabo George-Kelly, who was Governor Wike’s Adviser on Special Project.

Isaac Kamalu and George-Kelly resigned their appointments before the dissolution of the cabinet to contest the Governorship Primary of the Peoples Democratic Party, in which they emerged as the first and second runners up, respectively.

Recall that Governor Nyesom Wike had dissolved the State Executive Council, while his Chief of Staff, Emeka Woke and his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, Harold Koko, were sacked.

The dissolution and dismissal were contained in a special government announcement signed by Governor Wike’s Special Assistant on Media, Kekvin Ebiri, in Port Harcourt.

No reason was given for the sacking of the two senior government officials.

However, the governor thanked the cabinet members for their services and contributions to the state and wished them well in their future endeavours.
