Wike reappoints Emeka Woke as Chief of Staff

Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has reappointed the sacked Chief of Staff of the government house, Chukwuemeka Woke.

Recall that the governor had dissolved the State Executive Council on Tuesday, May 24, 2022.

A statement by his special assistant on media, Kevin Ebiri said the Chief of Staff to the governor, and Senior Special Assistant (Protocol), were also relieved of their office.

“His Excellency, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, commends the members of the Rivers State Executive Council for their service and contribution to the development of the State. He has also wished them the best in all their future endeavours.

“Governor Wike has therefore instructed all the former members of the State Executive Council to hand over to the most senior officers in their respective Ministries,” the statement read partly.

Woke’s reappointment was contained in a statement on Thursday, by Ebiri, who said the governor has approved the reappointment of the Chief of Staff.
