Rivers Crisis: APC Seeks Emergency Rule, Fubara Probes Sacked LG Chiefs

The party’s call came barely two hours after Governor Siminalayi Fubara swore in the chairmen of caretaker committees for the 23 local government areas of the state.

The new council chiefs were sworn in at the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House, Port Harcourt, less than two hours after they were screened and cleared by the House of Assembly.

The governor directed the heads of local administration (HLGAS) to take charge in their respective councils until further directives were given in a state-wide broadcast on Monday.
