The Secretary to the State Government, Mr Etekamba Umoren, on Saturday issued a statement that confirms that the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr Udom Emmanuel has sacked all the members of his cabinet. In regards to this, Umoren directed Permanent Secretaries to take over from the commissioners pending formation of a new cabinet.

According to Mr Etekamba Umoren, the majority of the outgoing commissioners had been in the state executive council since 2007 when Senator Godswill Akpabio was governor. Umoren said the governor had expressed gratitude to the outgoing cabinet members for their services to the state.

However, the reasons for the sack were not mentioned, as reactions came in from the All Progressive Congress (APC) admitting that, the dissolution exercise was long overdue.
