Aides of Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom seeking elective positions in the 2019 election have until May 29 to resign their appointments.
Ortom gave the directive in the state capital, Makurdi on Saturday.
He said the decision became necessary to enable those in his government to concentrate on effectively discharging their responsibilities to the people in their present positions or pave way for those who were ready to do so.
Ortom said the aides interested in seeking political positions would be able to concentrate on their campaigns without the encumbrance of their present appointments.
The governor had himself initially signified interest in seeking a second term in 2019 but suspended political activities in view of recent herdsmen killings in the state.
