BREAKING: Reps in closed-door meeting with Rivers Sole Administrator, Ibas

Published on April 25, 2025 at 10:22 AM

Sole Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok Ete Ibas, is currently meeting with the House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee on Rivers State.

The meeting is holding after several postponements.

The meeting signals the lawmakers' decision to exercise their constitutional right to take over the functions of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Speaking at the meeting, Ibas apologised for not attending the previous meeting and requested for additional time to prepare to brief the committee.

Ibas said he is still settling down in his new role and appealed for the understanding of the committee.

Following his plea to the committee, journalists were then excused and the meeting went into a closed door session.

President Bola Tinubu had appointed Ibas as Sole Administrator after declaring an emergency rule in Rivers State.

Ibas' appointment followed Tinubu's suspension of Governor Sim Fubara in line with the emergency rule proclamation.

Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike have been at loggerheads over the political structure in the state.

The face-off led to Tinubu suspending Fubara, his deputy, and members of the state House of Assembly.
