Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has inaugurated the state committee for the funeral of the late Attorney General of Rivers State, Emmanuel Aguma. Inaugurating the committee at the Government House in Port Harcourt on Friday, Wike charged the committee members to ensure that the late attorney general received a befitting burial. The governor said that the elaborate state burial committee was on the premise of late Aguma’s outstanding contributions to the development of the state. He said that the committee cut across different sectors of the state to ensure that all facets that were linked to the former attorney general of Rivers State participate actively in the burial. “We are doing this because of his contributions to the growth of the state. That is why we have an elaborate committee. “All sectors are represented to ensure that we give him a befitting burial. The family, the Bar association, Works ministry, friends, political parties are all involved. “This is a committee to give our friend and brother a befitting burial. This is a painful thing. Let’s work to give him the last respect,” Wike added. He charged the committee to ensure that the comprehensive programme for the burial is available by Wednesday next week. Chairman of the State Committee for the Funeral of the late attorney general of Rivers State, Austin Opara, said he wished the committee was for the celebration of the outstanding qualities of late Aguma. He described the death of the attorney general of Rivers State as painful. “It is a sad thing that we have to bury him at this time. Your Excellency, we share in your grief. He was not just an attorney general, he was also your friend,” Opara, who is a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, said. He assured the governor that the committee would deliver on the assignment given to them.]]>
