G-60 Commends Rivers State Governor Fubara for Seamless Transition to New Caretaker Chairmen.
In a significant political development, opposition federal lawmakers, united under the G-60 coalition, have praised Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, and the people of Rivers State for the smooth and successful swearing-in of caretaker committee chairmen for the state’s 23 local government areas. This commendation was issued in light of the orderly transition following the expiration of the tenure of the previous council chairmen.
The G-60 issued a statement acknowledging the proactive steps taken by Governor Fubara and the state legislature to ensure that the leadership vacuum created by the end of the former chairmen’s tenure was promptly addressed. This seamless transition is seen as a testament to effective governance and respect for democratic processes.
Federal Lawmakers Laud Fubara over Appointments of Caretaker Committees in Rivers State
According to , the tenure of the outgoing council chairmen, who were inaugurated three years ago during the administration of Governor Nyesom Wike, officially ended on Monday, June 17, 2024. The swift appointment of the caretaker committee chairmen has been widely regarded as a move to maintain stability and continuity in local governance.
The G-60 lawmakers emphasised the importance of the newly appointed caretaker chairmen supporting Governor Fubara’s vision for Rivers State. They advised these new leaders to avoid the missteps of their predecessors, who were accused of neglecting their official duties in favour of personal gains. The lawmakers underscored the need for dedication to public service and prioritising the welfare of the people.
In their statement, the G-60 also lauded Governor Fubara for his democratic ethos, noting his decision to allow the former chairmen to complete their full three-year tenure without interruption, despite various provocations. This, they argued, demonstrates a level of maturity and leadership seldom seen in Nigerian politics. “We equally hail Governor Fubara for being democratic enough to have allowed the former chairmen to complete their tenure without any disruption despite the provocative acts against him. He has demonstrated maturity and leadership qualities rarely exhibited by governors in the country, especially his predecessor, who defied court injunctions and appointed caretaker committee chairmen barely two months into office.”
This commendation from the G-60 is expected to bolster the administration of Governor Fubara, reinforcing his commitment to democratic principles and effective governance.
