The Rivers State House of Assembly, on Wednesday, confirmed nine ex-commissioners in the s=State for reinstatement.
The former commissioners were asked to take a bow and leave at the plenary held at the Assembly’s temporary chambers in Port Harcourt.
They were confirmed after the Assembly Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, read a letter dated December 11, 2023, requesting the screening and confirmation of the nominees for reinstatement, and sent by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The House Majority Leader, Mr. Major Jack, thereafter, moved a motion for the nominees to take a bow and leave since they had been previously screened for the same purpose.
The Deputy Speaker, Dumle Maol, adopted the motion and the 22 legislators present at the plenary unanimously supported it.
The nominees were – Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN), Mr. Jacobson Mbina, Mr. Gift Worlu, Mrs. Inime Chinwenwo- Aguma, Mr. Chukwuemeka Woke.
Others are Prof. Chinedu Mmom, Mr. George-Kelly Alabo, Mr. Isaac Kamalu, and Mr. Austin Chioma.
The nominees are loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Adangor, who was the Rivers Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, resigned from the state executive council in the wake of the State’s political crisis on December 14 last year.
Others resigned from the cabinet a few days later.
