Rivers: Lawmakers loyal to Fubara to screen Commissioner-nominee on Monday
Members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara and led by factional Speaker, Victor Oko-Jumbo, have invited a Commissioner-nominee, Danagogo Iboroma, for screening and confirmation as a member of the state executive.
Iboroma may likely replace Zaccaeus Adangor, who recently resigned as the State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
It will be recalled that Adangor resigned after he rejected his deployment to the State Ministry of Special Duties (Governor’s Office) by Governor Fubara.
The nominees’ invitation was contained in a letter signed by the factional Clerk, Dr. G.M. Gillis-West, who asked Iboroma to appear before the House on Monday by 10 am.
