THE faction of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, would on Tuesday, May 21, screen the governor’s eight commissioner-nominees.
The Assembly’s Clerk, Dr. G, N Gillis-West, in a letter on Monday, May 20, invited the nominees to appear before the House, presided over by factional Speaker, Victor Oko-Jumbo, for screening by 10 a.m at the State House of Assembly Auditorium, Admin Block, Government House, Port Harcourt, the state capital.
The letter, titled, ‘Public Announcement,’ read: “The Rivers State House of Assembly hereby invites the following commissioner-nominees for screening and confirmation as members of the Rivers State Executive Council.
“The nominees are expected to come along with 12 sets of their Curriculum Vitae (CV) and the originals and photocopies of their credentials.”
It listed the nominees as Charles Beke, Collins Onunwo, Solomon Eke, Peter Medee, Eloka Amadi, Basoene Benibo, Tambari Gbara and Ovy Chukwuma.
Recall that the Oko-Jumbo-led House had last week screened and confirmed Dagogo Iboroma (SAN) as a member of the State Executive Council and he was consequently named as Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
The screening and confirmation followed the resignation of commissioners loyal a former governor and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, over the festering political crisis in the state.
