The Rivers State House of Assembly has rejected four commissioner nominees put forward by Siminalayi Fubara.
The nominees appeared before lawmakers for screening on Monday during a plenary session at the Assembly complex in Port Harcourt.
Five Nominees Approved
After the screening exercise, the lawmakers confirmed five of the individuals nominated by the governor. Those approved are:
- Tonye Bellgam
- Professor Temple Nwofor
- Dr. Peters Nwagor
- Lekue Kenneth
- Sir Amairigha Edward Hart
Four Nominees Rejected
However, the Assembly declined to confirm four other nominees. They are:
- Professor Datonye Alasia
- Mrs. Charity Deemua
- Tamuno Williams
- Otonye TKD Amachree
The decision is expected to carry political implications as tensions continue to shape the relationship between the governor and the state legislature.
