The Edo State Government has debunked news making the rounds that it has dissolved the state executive council while political appointees have also been relieved of their duty.

The Secretary to the State Government, Osarodion Ogie, in a statement on Tuesday described the news as fake and the handiwork of mischief makers.

He said, “The Edo State Government debunks the fake news making the rounds on social media alleging that the State Executive Council (EXCO) and appointees have been dissolved.

“The rumour is the handiwork of mischief makers and fifth columnists who are out to cause panic and confusion in pursuit of their selfish agenda.”

He added, “The government urges all appointees (Special Advisers, Senior Special Assistants, and Special Assistants) to carry on with their duties and responsibilities and disregard the fake and fabricated news.”
