There is tension among commissioners in Akwa Ibom State as Governor Umo Eno announced the dissolution of the State Executive Council on Friday, January 10, 2025.
Eno , who succeeded former Governor Udom Emmanuel, inherited all the commissioners and advisers appointed by his predecessor, except the Commissioner for Internal security General Koko Essien appointed to head the newly created Ministry of Internal Security.
Sources close to the governor's office have disclosed that the valedictory council meeting scheduled to hold on Friday will mark the dissolution of the State Executive Council. The sources also confirmed that the commissioners last week received a 'favourable handshake' from Eno, paving the way for their tenure to come to an end.
