Cross River State Governor, Prof Ben Ayade, has approved the sack of two commissioners in his cabinet, making a total of seven of them relieved of their appointments as members of the state executive council.
Also sacked in a statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media, and Publicity, Christian Ita, was his Special Adviser on Budget.
Their sack may not be unconnected with the current political development in the state, following the Governor’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The Governor thanked the affected persons for their services to the state and wished them well in their future endeavors.
The affected commissioners are Hon. Goddy Etta – Commissioner for Water Resources, Ntufam Gabe Odu Orji – Commissioner for Infrastructure, and Hon. Moses Onoh – Special Adviser, Budget.
