Rivers crisis: Former SSG slams Sole Adminstrator for suspending RAIEC, RIRS officials

Published on March 29, 2025 at 12:20 PM

A former Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Aleruchi Cookey-Gam, has condemned the suspension of tenured appointees by the state’s Sole Administrator, Ibok Ete-Ibas.

Cookey-Gam, speaking on Arise TV Morning Show on Friday, argued that commissions like the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RAIEC) and the Rivers State Internal Revenue Board (RIRS) are tenured and should not be affected by the suspension.

She warned that this move could compromise accountability in monitoring the state's finances.

As a former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Cookey-Gam urged Ibas to “adhere to established rules, limiting his involvement to recurrent expenditure and avoiding capital projects”; since he was not elected by the people of Rivers State.

Flying Eze recalls that Ibas suspended all political appointees of suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The suspension includes board chairmen and members of institutions and hospitals.
