The Rivers house of assembly has resolved to probe the state’s finances during the six-month rule of Ibok-Ete Ibas as the sole administrator.
The assembly also asked Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the
state, to transmit the list of commissioners’ nominees for screening.
Lawmakers resumed sitting on Thursday morning after the
suspension of emergency rule in the state.
President Bola Tinubu lifted the emergency rule on September
17, with all democratic structures in the state restored.
Martins Amaewhule, speaker of the house, presided over the
plenary at the conference hall nestled within the legislative quarters.
The assembly is still under construction following its
demolition months ago by the state government.
On March 18, Tinubu declared emergency rule in the state
following a protracted political crisis arising from the rift between Fubara
and Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).
Subsequently, Fubara, Ngozi Nma Odu, his deputy; and the
legislators, were suspended for a period of six months by the president.
Tinubu appointed Ibas as sole administrator of the state for
the period.
