Rt Hon. Martin Amaewhule, leading the parliament, invited the commissioner-nominees for screening on Monday, aligning with the 8-point peace agenda endorsed by Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike after their meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja.
The nominated individuals are Zacchaeus Adangor, Dr. Jacobson Mbina, Dr. Gift Worlu, Mrs. Inime Chinwenwo-Aguma, Engr. Chukwuemeka Woke, Prof. Prince Chinedu Mmom, Dr. George-Kelly D. Alabo, Hon. Isaac Kamalu, and Engr. Austin Ben Chioma, as reported by Channels Television.
At the legislative session held at the Legislative Quarters, Off PH/Aba Expressway, Port Harcourt, the Speaker presented a letter from Governor Siminalayi Fubara, dated December 11, 2023, requesting the screening and confirmation of the commissioner nominees, putting to rest any ambiguity surrounding the governor’s intent.
In response, the Majority Leader of the House, Hon. Major Jack, proposed a motion asserting that since the nominees had undergone screening previously, there was no necessity to repeat the process. Consequently, he suggested that they be allowed to ‘take a bow and go,’ a motion supported by the deputy speaker, Rt Hon Dumle Maol, leading to the unanimous decision of the lawmakers.
Expressing his concerns, the Speaker highlighted instances where staff at the Government House in Port Harcourt declined to accept correspondence from the House. He cautioned that if such refusals persisted from the governor’s office, the House would reciprocate by declining to receive any correspondence from Governor Fubara.
The article does not clarify whether the governor will respond to the concerns raised by Speaker Amaewhule, known for his alliance with the immediate past governor, Wike. The resignation of the nominees a few weeks earlier had stemmed from the political discord between Wike and Fubara.
