The Rivers State House of Assembly has called on Governor Siminalayi Fubara to forward the list of commissioner nominees for screening and confirmation in line with constitutional provisions.

The Assembly also urged the governor to present an appropriation bill that reflects current realities in the state, following the end of the six-month emergency rule that stemmed from the recent political impasse.

At its first legislative sitting on Thursday after the emergency rule, the House, through a motion sponsored by the Leader, Hon. Major Jack, and eight others, set the legislative agenda for the remainder of the Third Session of the 10th Assembly.

While debating the motion, members unanimously commended the initiative, stressing the need for stability and responsive governance.

In his remarks, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, applauded President Bola Tinubu for restoring democratic institutions in the state. He assured that the Assembly would work with Governor Fubara in line with the peace accord and constitutional provisions.

“The House will work with the Governor and abide by the terms of the peace parley and the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the interest of peace and good governance in the state,” Amaewhule stated.

A statement issued by Martins Wachukwu, Special Assistant on Media to the Speaker, noted that the House also resolved to examine developments in the last six months, particularly concerning the award of contracts and expenditures from the state’s Consolidated Revenue Fund.

“Ordered” or “requested”? That headline should be corrected please. It should read “requested” and not “ordered”.

By the way, what are they investigating about the emergency rule in the state? They wanted it by their actions and got it. Even at that, if resources were mismanaged, where will they find the power to probe the man that BAT installed there on their behalf?

How can you order a governor?

Is this the kind of seed that Tinubu and Wike have sowed in Rivers State?

Imagine. House of Assembly members ordering a sitting governor. They have staryed again. Tinubu should call these Wike rabbid dogs to order now. The Governor can take six months to select his commissioners after all Buhari did it.
