Rivers Assembly Rejects Four Commissioner Nominees

The Rivers State House of Assembly has officially rejected four commissioner nominees proposed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara. This decision was made during a plenary session held on Monday at the Assembly complex in Port Harcourt, following a screening exercise of the nominees.

While the Assembly confirmed five nominees, including Tony Bellgam, Professor Templ Nwofor, Dr. Peter Nwagor, Leku Kenneth, and Sir Amairigha, the lawmakers declined to confirm the four rejected nominees: Professor Datony Alasia, Mr.

Chariti Deemua, Tamuno William Otony, and Tkd Amachre. This development highlights the ongoing political dynamics within the Rivers State government and the Assembly's role in the confirmation of executive appointments.
