There have been several reactions from social media users after Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State shared photos of the new chairman of the Rivers State Traditional Rulers, Eze Chike Wodo, whom he appointed following the removal of Eze Sergeant Awuse
Siminalayi Fubara wrote on his X handle: “We have appointed a new Chairman of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers in order to sustain the prevailing peace in our communities and uphold the dignity of our traditional institutions.
It became imperative for us to appeal to the traditional rulers to ensure peace in their domains and to use the opportunity to appoint Ohna Apara, Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, as the new Chairman of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers.”
Punch had reported that Governor Fubara had removed Eze Sergeant Awuse from his position as Chairman of the State Supreme Council of Traditional Rulers. Fubara explained that Awuse had not been effectively leading the council due to his alleged role in the ongoing political crisis in the state.
During the announcement, Governor Fubara criticized Awuse’s leadership, stating, “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.”
The governor emphasized that the position of chairman could not remain vacant and thus appointed Eze Chike Wodo as the new chairman. Following the appointment, reactions from social media users have been mixed.
Some expressed support for the governor’s decision, while others criticized the removal of Awuse, citing concerns over political interference in traditional institutions..…….See More
