It said: “The Governor has approved with immediate effect the dissolution of members of the State Executive Council.”
Mr Ali explained that the dissolution was to create an enabling environment for interested members of the executive council to legally participate in forthcoming primaries and congresses of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said that Mr Zulum expressed his deepest appreciation to them for their unquantifiable contributions while they held offices and wished them the best of luck in their future endeavours.
