GOVERNOR Siminalayi Fubara has worn in five new commissioners and two special advisers at the executive chambers of the Government House in Port Harcourt.
Addressing the newly appointed officials on Wednesday, the governor urged them to refrain from responding verbally or through actions to the provocations of his political opponents.
He said his opponents intend to divert his administration’s focus from achieving its set goals, saying it is important to maintain focus and dedication to the administration’s objectives.
To Fubara, the appointments are made to equip the cabinet better to deliver on its promises to the people of Rivers State.
He said in the end, the people of the state who are interested in seeing results would not be bothered about how many court judgments secured or the number of protests on the streets.
Governor Fubara expressed his appreciation for the dedication of the appointees, particularly their commitment to standing for truth and justice in their respective localities.
The newly appointed commissioners were screened and confirmed by the Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Victor Oko-Jumbo on Tuesday.
One of the newly sworn-in commissioners, Samuel Anya, from Abia State was the Governor’s adviser on non-indigenes in Rivers State.
