Governor Swears In New Caretaker Chairmen Amidst Legal Turmoil
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State recently inaugurated new caretaker chairmen for the 23 local government areas of the state. The swearing-in ceremony took place on Wednesday at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, amidst stringent security measures. Reports indicate that the first group of 11 CTC chairmen are currently taking their oath of office.
This event occurred a day after Governor Fubara submitted the list to the state House of Assembly, which is currently presided over by factional Speaker, Victor Jumbo. It is worth noting that the legislators had invited the nominees for screening as early as 8 am on Wednesday.
The appointed caretaker chairmen for the various local government areas are as follows:

  1. Abua/Odua LGA – Madigai Dickson
  2. Ahoada East LGA – Happy Benneth
  3. Ahoada West LGA – Mr. Daddy John Green
  4. Akuku Toru LGa – Otonye Briggs
  5. Andoni LGA – Reginald Ekaan
  6. Asari Toru LGA – Orolosoma Amachree
  7. Bonny LGA – Alabota Anengi Barasua
  8. Degema LGA – Anthony Soberekon
  9. Eleme LGA – Brain Gokpa
  10. Emouha LGA – David Omereji
  11. Etche LGA – John Otamiri
  12. Gokana LGA – Kenneth Kpeden
  13. Ikwerre LGA – Darlington Orji
  14. Khana LGA – Marvin Yobana
  15. Obia/Akpor LGA – Chijioke Ihunwo
  16. Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA – Princewill Ejekwe
  17. Ogu/Bolo LGA – Evans Bipi
  18. Okrika LGA – Princess Ogan
  19. Omuma LGA – Promise Reginald
  20. Opobo/Nkoro LGA – Enyiada Cookey-Gam
  21. Oyigbo LGA – Gogo Philip
  22. Port Harcourt LGA – Ichemati Ezebunwo
  23. Tai LGA – Matthew Dike
    This development introduces a new dimension to the political turmoil in the state, following months after the Rivers Assembly passed the Local Government Amendment Bill. Although Governor Fubara did not approve the bill, the legislators, under the leadership of Martin Amaewhule, overruled his decision.
    The legislation granted the Rivers State Assembly the authority to extend the tenure of council chairpersons, their vice, and councilors in cases where conducting elections before the conclusion of their three-year term is deemed unfeasible. However, a court invalidated the amended law, leading to an appeal. The appellate court is scheduled to issue a verdict on the matter on June 20, 2024.
