The House of Representatives has summoned Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd.), the newly appointed Sole Administrator of Rivers State, to appear before its Ad-Hoc Committee for an interactive session scheduled for Thursday, April 17
House Spokesman Akin Rotimi, in a statement released on Wednesday, said the session will hold at 4 p.m. in Room 414 of the House of Representatives New Building, National Assembly Complex, Abuja.
The invitation follows the inauguration of a 21-member committee led by House Leader, Prof Julius Ihonvbere, after the National Assembly passed a resolution approving President Bola Tinubu’s proclamation of a state of emergency in Rivers State.
Ihonvbere said the meeting aims to provide clarity on the situation in the state and help the House carry out its oversight responsibilities effectively.
“This engagement is necessary to ascertain the true state of affairs in Rivers State and ensure that the House remains properly guided in the discharge of its oversight responsibilities in the public interest,” he stated.
President Tinubu had declared a state of emergency in Rivers following a prolonged political crisis. The president subsequently suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy, and state assembly members, appointing Vice Admiral Ibas as Sole Administrator.
