A statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Onwuka Nzeshi, said the swearing-in ceremony for the new appointees would hold at 2:00 pm at the Executive Council Chamber, Government House, Port Harcourt.
Dr. Wokoma succeeds Mr. Benibo Anabraba as SSG, while Barrister Ewule replaces Edison Ehie as Chief of Staff. No official reason was provided for the removal of the former office holders.
The appointments follow the recent reconciliation between Governor Fubara and his former political ally, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, after President Bola Tinubu intervened to halt the impeachment proceedings against the governor by the Rivers State House of Assembly.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Martin Amaewhule, had last week confirmed that the House officially withdrew the impeachment process against Governor Fubara and his deputy, Prof. Ngozi Odu, following the President’s intervention.
Governor Fubara had earlier dissolved his cabinet of eight commissioners and relieved all his Special Advisers, signaling a major reshuffle within his administration.
