Fubara to Swear in Ex-factional Speaker as Chief of Staff Today

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara, has approved the appointment of a former factional Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Ehie Edison as his Chief Of Staff.

He is expected to be inaugurated alongside some new appointees this morning.

Edison led four other members of the House when Fubara presented the state’s 2024 Appropriation Bill at the Government House in December 2023.

As contained in a letter signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo, Governor Fubara also approved the appointments of five special advisers.

Ehie, who was the majority leader of the assembly, was impeached in the early stage of the crisis to oust the governor.

Ehie replaced Hon. Chidi Amadi, a kinsman of Wike, who resigned his appointment during the face off between the minister and Fubara.

The nine commissioners who dumped Fubara’s cabinet over the feud have since been reinstated.
