The Rivers State House of Assembly has urged reinstated Governor Siminalayi Fubara to forward the list of commissioner nominees to the House for consideration.
The Assembly, under the leadership of Speaker Martin Amaewhule, made the call when it resumed sitting on Thursday, barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu ended the emergency rule in the state.
On the Order Paper for the day, there was only one item: a Motion to Set Legislative Agenda for the Remainder of the Year for the 10th Assembly.
DAILY POST reports that Fubara and his deputy had been away from the governance of the state for six months after President Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers, citing a political crisis.
Tinubu had also suspended the governor, his deputy and the House of Assembly members. The state of emergency ended on Wednesday.
The former administrator, retired Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, who handed over the reins of power on Wednesday night, urged political actors in the state to embrace mutual respect and dialogue in a state broadcast.
