Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially submitted a list of nine commissioner-nominees to the Rivers State House of Assembly for screening. This move follows the recent dissolution of his cabinet and the dismissal of his special advisers. The Clerk of the House, Dr. Emeka Amadi, confirmed the receipt of the names which notably excludes any of the recently sacked officials and directed the nominees to submit their credentials to the Assembly Quarters. While the screening date remains unannounced, this development signals a fresh start for the state executive council following high-level political mediation by President Tinubu.
The political landscape in the Treasure Base of the Nation is shifting once again. In a move that signals the beginning of a cabinet "reset," Governor Siminalayi Fubara has officially transmitted a list of nine commissioner-nominees to the Rivers State House of Assembly for screening and confirmation.
This comes roughly three weeks after the Governor cleared the deck, sacking eight commissioners and all special advisers in a major administrative shake-up.
The Clerk of the House, Dr. Emeka Amadi, released a "Government Special Announcement" on March 3rd, inviting the following individuals to submit 40 sets of their CVs and tax credentials:
Professor Datonye Alasia
Mr. Tonye Bellgam
Professor Temple Nwofor
Dr. Peters Nwagor
Mrs. Charity Deemua
Tamuno Williams
Mr. Lekue Kenneth
Otonye Amachree
Amairigha Edward Hart
This administrative move is playing out against the backdrop of a cooling political climate. Following a third intervention by President Bola Tinubu, the rift between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike (now FCT Minister), appears to have found a middle ground.
With the impeachment proceedings against the Governor and Deputy Governor officially withdrawn by the Martin Amaewhule led Assembly, the focus has shifted back to governance. All eyes are now on the Assembly Quarters to see how these nominees fare during their screening.
