Allen Sowore was sacked alongside, the chief press secretary to the Deputy Governor, Babatope Okeowo, his wife and five others shortly after the deputy governor decamped from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to a report by Daily Post however, all the sacked aides have been reappointed by the Deputy Governor.
“Yes, it is true that the governor announced our sack, but there is no cause for alarm, as we have been reabsorbed by the Deputy Governor”. Babatunde Okeowo confirmed via a phone call.
