AKPABIO SACKS THREE COMMISSIONERS, SPECIAL ADVISER

Governor Godswill Akpabio yesterday approved the sacking of three commissioners from his cabinet. Those sacked are, Austin Mbeh who served in the ministry of transport, Martyns Udoinyang of the Commerce ministry and Soni Ayang of Economic Development. The Special adviser dropped is Hon Samuel Frank who served at the Bureau of youth and sports development. 

All the dropped Exco members it was gathered are loyalists of the sacked SSG Obong Umana Umana. Competent sources told our reporter at the ministry of Information that some of these Exco members were always leaking information to Mr. Umana ever since the Nsit Ubium born ex SSG was dropped by the Governor in a commando style more than one month ago.
