Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, has given reasons why he dissolved the State Executive
Council on Saturday, June 23, 2017.

said dissolution of the state executive council was done in consultation with
the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.
Wike spoke
yesterday, during a thanksgiving service in honour of Majority Whip of the
House of Assembly, Evans Bipi, at St Martin’s Anglican Church, Ogu.
He
reiterated that the dissolution was done to rejig the machinery of government,
to move the state forward.
“This is
when you know those who are loyal and those who are not.
“There is no
crack in government. We are working together.
“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 dissolution of the executive council was done at the appropriate time and
added 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.
The governor
noted that his administration would continue to deliver on its promises to the
people.
He lauded
Bipi for his unwavering loyalty at the beginning of the struggle for the
enthronement of a new Rivers State.

“Bipi is a
loyal and committed person. Bipi is among the first group of supporters we
had.”
He thanked
the people of Ogu/Bolo for supporting the lawmaker through the rerun elections.

In his
remarks, Bipi assured Wike of the support of the people of Ogu/Bolo.
