It would be recalled that President Bola Tinubu had directed governor Fubara to reinstate the commissioners, who resigned from the state Executive Council.
Tinubu gave the directive after a closed-door meeting, which held to resolve the political crisis rocking the state.
The commissioners, who are loyalists of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, had earlier resigned from Fubara’s cabinet.
In the resolution document which was signed by Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu; FCT Minister, Wike; Rivers Speaker, Martin Amaewhule; Rivers APC Chairman, Tony Okocha and Rivers PDP chairman, Aaron Chukwuemeka, the President directed that the names of all the Commissioners who resigned from Fubara’s cabinet, due to the political rift, should be resubmitted to the state Assembly.
