Governor Fubara sacks Wikes Ally as Rivers State Traditional Council Chairman, appoints replacement

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has sacked the Chairman of the State Supreme Council of Traditional Rulers Council. Eze Sergeant Awuse.

The news of Awuse’s removal was announced on Friday during a special meeting the governor had with the traditional rulers at the Banquet Hall of the Government House, Port Harcourt.

Fubara, appointed Eze Chike Wodo, to replace Awuse as the new chairman of the council, saying that the office could not remain vacant.

Speaking at the meeting, Fubara said: “It is like your chairman has run away. Maybe when your chairman is ready, he will write to me. If he gets the approval, he can then come for the meeting.

“But you already know his position. He is not a stable man, he is not a stable character. He cannot say something in the morning and say another thing in the evening.

“It is because of that he decided to hide his head. You have to bear with him until when God will help us remove this problem you are having. By the grace of God, it will be resolved soon.”

Recall that the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, had appointed Awuse as replacement for the then Chairman of the Council, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja.
