The Rivers State House of Assembly has rejected four commissioner nominees of Governor Siminalayi Fubara citing performance issues, petitions, and documentation concerns.
The Rivers State House of Assembly on Monday rejected four commissioner nominees submitted by Governor Siminalayi Fubara after screening them at the Assembly complex in Port Harcourt. Five nominees — Tonye Bellgam, Professor Temple Nwofor, Dr. Peters Nwagor, Lekue Kenneth, and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart — were confirmed by the lawmakers.
The Assembly said Professor Datonye Alasia was rejected due to “poor performance,” while Otonye TKD Amachree faced over 11 petitions from community members. Charity Deemua was declined for failing to present tax clearance documents, and Tamuno Williams was stepped down for allegedly “misleading the public about the activities of the Assembly”.
