why he did not dissolve what he termed the illegality put in place by
the outgone government.

He said the caretaker committees had to be sworn to avoid any vacuum in government.
The governor warned the newly sworn in caretaker committee Chairmen to ensure they discharge their responsibilities effectively, stressing that he would not hesitate to sack anyone found wanting.
Governor Wike further reminded the caretaker committee chairmen that their appointment was not political patronage.
“When we were inaugurated on 29 I said this administration will follow due process. We followed rule of law. Even if we know the last election was illegal we felt the rule of law and due process should take place.
