The Akwa Ibom State Governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, has dissolved with immediate effect the State Executive Council.
According to a statement on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Pastor Anietie Ukpe, Akpabio thanked the members of the dissolved cabinet on behalf of the people of the state, wishing them the best in their future endeavours.
The Eagle Online gathered that immediately the dissolution was announced, the members of the former SEC commenced high level lobbying to ensure their return.
It was learnt that some of those who got wind of the dissolution of the cabinet and who have been lobbying to be retained, intensified their push.
It was gathered that Akpabio is not in a hurry to reconstitute the cabinet.
