Rivers redeploys state assembly clerk, deputy amid political crisis

 

The Rivers state government has redeployed Emeka Amadi, clerk of the house of assembly.

In a circular dated November 20 and issued by the office of the head of civil service, Amadi was redeployed to the state scholarship board.

The head of service did not name a replacement to succeed Amadi.

The state government also redeployed Calistus Ojirika, the deputy clerk/ head of department (HOD) legislative department, to the readers project.

Georgewill Otto, an assistant director at the ministry of physical planning and urban development, was redeployed to Rivers State Small Town and Rural Water Supply Agency.

Amadi and Ojirika were asked to hand over to the most senior officers in the house of assembly.

According to the circular, the posting takes effect immediately.

 

The development comes about three weeks after an attempted impeachment of Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers.

Rivers has been grappling with a political crisis linked to the rumoured rift between Fubara and Nyesom Wike, the immediate former governor of the state and current minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).

Despite President Bola Tinubu’s reported intervention to restore peace in the state, there are speculations that the political crisis is far from being resolved.
