Sir Siminalayi Fubara Executive Governor of Rivers State |
The squabble between the immediate past Governor of River state HE Nyesome Wike and the current Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara has taken a new turn as the government set to set up judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the conducts of governance in the state before his assumption of office on May 29, 2023.
The governor made this announcement today during the swearing-in ceremony of the state new Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Dagogo Israel Iboroma, SAN, at the Government House in Port Harcourt River state.
Governor Fubara indicated that the inquiry would delve into past governance practices, potentially spanning administrations since 1999.
During his address at the ceremony, Governor Fubara said: “My brother, Dagogo Iboroma, you are going to be the brand new Attorney-General of our dear State; Why are we bringing you at this very critical time? We have a lot of issues around us. We believe that you are not going to be the one that when they send service to you, you go and file “nolle prosequi” or you go and file one thing that would kill us here.
“Let me also say this, you have a big task. We will be setting up a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the affairs of governance. So, brace up, I am not going back on it.
“Please, defend us. We know that you are going to defend us because your record is clean. You are a gentleman and peaceful. You are not a noise maker. People like you are endowed, and they have the fear of God". Fubara stated.
