Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, on Sunday said he dissolved the state executive council to flush out those he termed disloyal to the system.
He also said the first was taken  in consultation with the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party  (PDP) in  the state.

Speaking during the Election Thanksgiving Service in honour of the Majority Whip of the Rivers State House of Assembly at St. Martin’s Anglican Church, Ogu on Sunday, Governor Wike said that the dissolution  was done to rejig the machinery of government to move the  state forward.

He said: “This is when you know  those who are loyal  and those  who are not loyal. There  is no crack in government.  We are working together. The  dissolution  was done in consultation with the leadership of PDP  in the state.

“You must work with those who are loyal.  Those who are  not loyal will be shown the way  out. Those who are loyal will come back.  When you are going into another dispensation, you have to put things in order”.

The governor said that the dissolution of the State Executive Council was done  at the appropriate  time, saying that most states have already  dissolved  their respective  Executive Councils.

“In government, there are those hungry  to come in and those hungry to go. If you are a political appointee, you must expect any eventuality “, he said.
