Opposition federal lawmakers under the aegis of G-60 have hailed Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the people of Rivers State for the recent swearing-in of 23 Local Government Council Caretaker Committee Chairmen. This follows their successful screening by the Rivers State House of Assembly to fill the vacancies created by the expiration of the former elected council chairmen’s tenure on Monday, 17th June 2024.
The G-60, in a statement, recalled that the tenure of the elected council chairmen in the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, who were sworn in three years ago during Governor Nyesom Wike’s administration, had expired on Monday, 17th June 2024.
They urged the newly sworn-in chairmen to alleviate the suffering of Governor Fubara and the people of Rivers State, who had endured significant hardships under the previous administration. According to the G-60, the former local government bosses, in collusion with former Governor Nyesom Wike, failed in their responsibilities and obstructed Governor Fubara’s efforts to bring progress and development to the state.
“We congratulate the Rivers State Governor, His Excellency Siminalayi Fubara, and the good people of the state on the swearing-in of 23 Local Government Council Caretaker Committee Chairmen, following their successful screening by the Rivers State House of Assembly. This action fills the vacancies created by the expiration of the former elected local government council chairmen’s tenure on Monday, 17th June 2024.
“While particularly congratulating the newly appointed caretaker committees, we urge them to give unalloyed support and unwavering loyalty to Governor Fubara and the Oko-Jumbo-led Rivers State House of Assembly. This is essential for the peace, stability, and progress of the state. They should not follow the path of their predecessors, who were nothing but saboteurs and impediments to progress.
“We equally hail Governor Fubara for been democratic enough to have allowed the former chairmen to complete their tenure without any disruption despite the provocative acts against him. He has demonstrated maturity and leadership qualities never exhibited by governors in the country, especially his predecessor who defiled court injunctions’ sacked and appointed a caretaker committee chairmen barely two months into office.”
