The statement announced that the dissolution is with immediate effect, saying that “all those affected by this dissolution are to handover all government properties in their possession, together with their handover notes, to their respective Permanent Secretaries.

However, not all members of the Council are affected by the dissolution order.

“The Governor expressed his deep appreciation to the former office holders for their services to the people of Abia State, and wished them well in their future endeavours”.

The statement further stated that the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr Anthony Agbazuere, who has been on suspension since December 6, 2020, was recalled with immediate effect.
