RIVERS ASSEMBLY TO PROBE SIX MONTHS FINANCE AND EXPENDITURES DURING EMERGENCY RULE

The Rivers State House of Assembly has resolved to investigate the state’s finances during the six-month tenure of Ibok-Ete Ibas, who served as sole administrator.

The resolution was passed during the assembly’s first plenary since last Thursday. Lawmakers also directed Governor Siminalayi Fubara to submit a list of commissioner nominees for screening.

During his time as sole administrator, Ibas was unable to complete the reconstruction of the state assembly complex.

His appointment followed President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of emergency rule in Rivers on March 18, after a prolonged political crisis stemming from the rift between Governor Fubara and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike.

Tinubu had suspended Fubara, his deputy Ngozi Nma Odu, and members of the assembly for an initial six-month period before appointing Ibas to oversee the state.

RIVERS WOMEN UNITE FOR SIM: KEEPING FAITH, HOLDING THE PEACE

In their usual manner, Rivers Women Unite for Sim gathered earlier today at the Ecumenical Centre, Port Harcourt, for their monthly prayer meeting and thanksgiving service, themed “The Finger of God.” This edition of the thanksgiving was especially significant, as the women expressed gratitude to God for the suspension of the state of emergency in Rivers, the restoration of democracy and the peace the state now enjoys which are answers to the very prayers they had been steadfastly offering.

These women have become a moral force in the state, standing consistently in the gap during and after the political upheavals that shook Rivers state.

At critical moments, they genuinely lifted their voices in prayer not only for Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the leadership of Rivers State, but also for the peace and progress of Nigeria as a whole.
