In a volte face from his previous practices, Rivers State’s Governor Siminalayi Fubara today Tuesday submitted a list of nine commissioner designates to the State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.
Fubara and the House had been at war over his refusal to submit nominees and the budget to the House of Assembly and this led to crisis, impeachment moves against him by the Assembly.
It climaxed in the emergency rule declared by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu last year.
Another impeachment move in January led to another round of peace-making by the President with the understanding that Fubara must follow the constitutional order in relating to the state’s Legislature.
Subsequently, he dissolved the cabinet and sacked all commissioners.
Announcing the new development in a statement earlier today, Emeka Amadi, Clerk of the Rivers State House of Assembly, directed the nine named nominees to submit their credentials to his office for review.
Those nominated include: Datonye Alasia, Tonye Bellgam, Temple Nwofor, Peters Nwagor, Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, Lekue Kenneth, Otonye Amachree, and Amairigha Edward Hart.
