A Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to Governor Siminalayi Fubara will, Monday, screen a new commissioner appointee, Dagogo Iboroma, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

The factional Speaker of the Assembly, Victor Jumbo, announced this in a memo in Port Harcourt signed by the clerk of the house, G.M Gillis- West.

Jumbo, was on Friday elected a new Speaker by lawmakers loyal to the Governor following a court order which barred Martin Amaewhule and 24 others from parading themselves as lawmakers in the State.

The Memo is inviting Iboroma to appear before it at its Chambers in the Administration Block of the Government House Port Harcourt, for screening.

The memo read: “The Rivers State House of Assembly hereby invites the following Commissioner nominee for screening and confirmation as a member of the Rivers State Executive Council. Dagogo Iboroma.

“The screening is expected to hold at the Hallowed Chamber, Rivers State House of Assembly, Auditorium, admin block, Rivers State House of Assembly.

“The nominee is to come along with 10 sets of his curriculum Vitae, photocopies of his credentials and their originals.”

Two Commissioners loyal to Wike, had resigned from the cabinet following their redeployment by the Governor.

Both the former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zaccaeus Adangor, SAN; and the Finance Commissioner, Isaac Kamalu, rejected their redeployment to other ministries and resigned their appointments.

Prof Adangor, on a live television said he is not answerable to the Governor Fubara on how he admonished his office and that the governor cannot dictate how he handles the matters of the state as it affects law, saying he was the chief law officer of the State.

Iboroma is suspected to be the new Attorney General and Justice Commissioner of Rivers State.
