The Edo State Government has dispelled rumour in the social media that the State Executive Council and appointees had been dissolved.
Secretary to Edo State Government, Osarodion Ogie in a statement on Tuesday, 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.
“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,” the statement added.
