…AS SPEAKER THREATENS TO STOP RECEIVING CORRESPONDENCE FROM STATE GOVERNOR
By faith Gordon
The Rivers State House of Assembly has screened and confirmed the nomination of Professor Zacchaeus Adangor, Dr. Jacobson Nbina, Dr. Gift Worlu, Mrs. Inimefien Aguma, Egnr. Chukwuemeka Woke, Prof Chinedu Mmom, Dr. Dakorinama Kelly – George, Isaac Kamalu, Esq., and Mr. Ben Chioma as commissioners and members of the Rivers State Executive Council.
The screening and nomination, which took place on Wednesday, at its 92nd Legislative Sitting follows a letter read on the Floor of the House, which was forwarded to the House by the Governor of the State, Sir Siminialayi Fubara, praying the House to screen and confirm the nominees, pursuant to Section 192 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
Commenting on the work relationship between the Rivers State House of Assembly and Government House, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule condemned in strong terms, what he described as the unruly and rude behaviour of staff of Government House towards receiving mails emanating from the Rivers State House of Assembly.
He noted that resolutions of the House are religiously transmitted to the office of the Governor, but staff of Government House often decline to receive such resolutions.
Rt. Hon. Amaewhule warned that if such discordance and spite continue, the House will cease to receive correspondence from the Governor.
