The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has sacked all his special advisers and assistants for allegedly failing to secure sufficient votes from their political wards to guarantee his victory during the February 25 senatorial election in the state.
Ikpeazu, who was seeking to replace Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe as the Senator for Abia South in the 10th Senate, lost to the lawmaker who has held the office since 2007.
