Wike suspends finance commissioner, accountant- general

RIVERS State governor, Chief Nyesom
Ezenwo Wike, yesterday suspend- ed the
state Commissioner for Finance, Dr. Fred
Kpakol . Another official, who also
incurred the wrath of the governor, is the
state Accountant Gen- eral, Sir Abere
Dagogo, who was also suspended .
The suspension of the duo was
contained in a two-paragraph statement
issued in Port Harcourt yesterday, by the
Special Assistant to the Governor on
Electronic Media, Mr. Simeon Nwakaudu.
No reasons were ad- duced for their
suspen- sion but the statement said it
was with immedi- ate effect. Recall that
Governor Wike, during the thanksgiv- ing
service in Port Harcourt last Sunday, to
celebrate
his victory at the Supreme Court,
accused some of his appointees of “one
leg in , one leg out”. He said they were
only wait- ing to see the outcome of the
Supreme court judgment, alleging that
they were fraternizing with the All
Progressives Congress.
