Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has dissolved the State Executive Council (SEC) as well as relieved his Chief of Staff, Chief Emeka Woke and his Senior Special Assistant on Protocol, of their duties.

Wike, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt on Tuesday morning and signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Kelvin Ebiri, commended the former state government officials for their service and contribution to the development of the state.
He directed all of them to hand over to the most senior officers in their respective ministries.

“The Chief of Staff to the governor and Senior Special Assistant (Protocol), have also been relieved of their office.
