Zamfara State Governor Bello Mohammed Matawalle has sacked all his Special Advisers excerpt that of security, retired DIG Mamman Tsafe.
The governor had recently dissolved the state executive council ahead of his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He formally dumped his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last week.
The information relieving the special advisers of their appointment was contained in a statement by the acting Secretary to the State Government and Head of Service, Alhaji Kabiru Balarabe in Gusau.
“It is hereby notified for general information that Gov. Bello Matawalle has relieved all Special Advisers of their appointments, except the Special Adviser on Security Matters.
“This decision is in line with the recent defection to the APC and to allow for an in-depth search of more but competent hands in the administration of the state, irrespective of political affiliations,” the statement said.
Balarabe directed all the affected Special Advisers to hand over affairs of their respective offices, and government property under them to their Directors General and/or Accounting officers.
He also extended the governor’s appreciation to them for their contributions towards the development of the state.
