The Governor of Rivers State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has made minor adjustments in his cabinet.

Fubara, in a decision during an executive meeting, redeployed the Commissioner of Sports Development, Barr. Christopher Green, to the Ministry of Justice.

It would be recalled that following the political crisis in the state, Fubara had dissolved the members of his cabinet that were affected by the Supreme Court judgement on the political crisis in the state.

The development had affected the then Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the state.

But the governor’s move to have an attorney general has moved Green, who was serving as Commissioner for Sports, to the Ministry of Justice as the Honourable Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.

This is contained in a statement signed by Dr Honour Sirawoo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Communications.

The statement noted that Barr Green would also continue to coordinate the activities of the Ministry of Sports pending the appointment of a substantive commissioner to oversee the ministry.

The redeployment, which takes immediate effect, was approved at the last State Executive Council meeting for the year 2025, underscoring the governor’s commitment to strengthening governance, ensuring continuity in service delivery, and optimising the performance of key ministries within the state.

It is clear that Fubara has chosen crisis rather than peace. The governor claims to have appointed an "Attorney General", something he cannot do without going through the state assembly.

So a whole governor will ask permission from assembly members before appointing his cabinet members right?

It is a cabinet reshuffle that doesn't need Assembly screening or blessing. Green is already a serving Commissioner of Sports so he doesn't need to be screened again and the Assembly doesn't need any process(es) again.

BondRiv:
Yes.

When he was quiet, you called him SIMp, now that he's taking action, you're still complaining. What exactly do people want from this man?

kpakpakpa:
Under which Nigerian law sir
The assembly can not choose who to work for a particular position with the governor to the best of my knowledge. The man was screened before na

E bi like say Fubara don chop small liver. What this appointment means is that there won't be any successful impeachment. And he was smart choosing a barrister already screened and serving in his cabinet.

Men in APC don give Fubara small liver. More series of Wike / Fubara drama to unfold.

If you are in position of Fubara, what will you do?
