Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has appointed Edison Ehie as his new chief of staff
Mr Ehie is the former speaker of the defunct four-member faction of the Rivers House of Assembly.
In a statement on Sunday, the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Tammy Danagogo, said that Governor Fubara has also approved the appointment of five special advisers.
The special advisers are Darlington Orji, Solomon Eke, Aminayanasam Fiberesima, Deeyah Bariene and Ohia Prince.
“The newly appointed Chief of Staff and Special Advisers alongside one guest each are expected to be seated at the Executive Council Chambers of the Government House, Monday at 10:30 a.m., for the swearing-in- ceremony by His Excellency, the Governor of Rivers State at 11 a.m.,” Mr Danagogo said.
Governor Fubara announced the new appointments about 48 hours after swearing in the nine pro-Wike commissioners, who had previously resigned their appointments last month as a show of loyalty to the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike.
Mr Wike, who is the FCT minister, is engaged in a fierce tussle with Mr Fubara over the control of governance and politics in the oil-rich state.
The return of the officials to Mr Fubara’s cabinet is in fulfilment of a controversial peace deal brokered by President Bola Tinubu to end the political crisis in the state.
