Rivers political crisis heats up again, as Assembly rejects Gov Fubara’s appointments

The Rivers State House of Assembly led by Martins Amaewhule, has rejected some appointments made by the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara over alleged disregard for extant laws in the appointment of people into government offices.

According to the Assembly, Fubara’s recent appointments ran contrary to known laws.

The Rivers State House of Assembly on Monday, at its 100th Legislative Sitting, frowned at the appointment of Mr. Goodlife Ben as acting Chairman of Local Government Service Commission, Dr. Mrs Ine Briggs as acting Director- General of Bureau for Public Procurement, and Mr. Tonte Davies as acting Administrator of New Cities Development Authority.
