Following the defection of Governor Bello Mohammed from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, he has relieved all Special Advisers of their appointments with immediate effect, except the Special Adviser on Security Matters.
A Public Announcement signed by the Acting Secretary To The Government, Kabiru Balarable, said the decision is in line with the recent defection of the governor to the APC.
It is also to allow for an in-depth search for more, but competent hands, in the administration of the state, irrespective of political affiliations.
All the affected Special Advisers have been directed to hand over affairs of their respective offices, and government properties under them, to their Directors-General and/or Accounting officers.
The Executive Governor appreciated their contributions in running the government while in office.
