The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has
appointed 15 more Special Advisers into his
cabinet.
This brings the total number of Special Advisers
to 35, in addition to 21 Commissioners.
Swearing-in the new Special Advisers, the State
Governor, Nyesom Wike admonished them to
dedicate their effort to the growth of the state.
Wike cautioned the SA’s against trying to enrich
themselves with their offices adding that
“everyone must work to achieve the new Rivers
vision.”
Meanwhile, the All Progressive Congress in
Rivers State says the fifteen special advisers
appointed by Governor Nyesom Wike will never
be allocated portfolios.
The APC stated that there were no more offices
to be assigned to the new appointees.
In a statement signed by its state Publicity
Secretary, Chris Finebone, the APC accused the
Governor of allocating portfolios to the new
commissioners one month before swearing-in.
The Party also condemned the confirmation of
the Justice Diasy Okocha as the substantive
Chief Judge of Rivers State by the state House
of Assembly, adding that they were compelled
by the Governor to make such confirmation even
without forming a quorum.
