Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State has again sacked all his Special Advisers, following his defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In February, the governor had sacked all the Special Advisers and Director Generals but later recalled some of the sacked appointees.
Releasing a statement on Sunday, the Acting Secretary to the State Government, Kabiru Balarebe, said all the Special Advisers except that of the Security Affairs, Mamman Tsafe, are relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.
The statement said: “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.
“Accordingly, all the affected Special Advisers should hand over affairs of their respective offices, and Government properties under them to their Directors General and/or Accounting officers.
“His Excellency, the Executive Governor appreciated their contributions in running the government while in office,” he added.
