THE State Executive Council has been disbanded by Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The governor’s press secretary, Crusoe Osagie, noted in a statement today that the dissolution was with immediate effect.
Osagie revealed today that Obaseki made the announcement during the weekly Executive Council meeting.
The governor appreciated the council members for their assistance to the administration and the residents of Edo State.
“The governor said that beginning from today, all Special Assistants and Senior Special Assistants have been relieved of their appointments,” the statement added.
No reason was given for Obaseki’s action, however, there are speculations that the development may have signalled a power struggle within the administration.
