Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has unseated Eze Sergeant Awuse from his role as chairman of the State Supreme Council of Traditional Rulers Council.<\/p>\n
At a meeting with the traditional rulers on Friday convened at the Banquet Hall of Rivers Government House in Port Harcourt, Fubara said Awuse has not been providing leadership because of his alleged role in the state\u2019s crisis.<\/p>\n
He described Awuse as an unstable character, noting that he has been playing double standards since the political crisis in the state began.<\/p>\n
Fubara said, \u201cIt 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is because of that he decided to hide his head. You have to bear with him until when God will help us remove this problem you are having. By the grace of God, it will be resolved soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fubara, thereafter, appointed Eze Chike Worlu Wodo, as the new chairman of the council, saying that the office could not remain vacant.<\/p>\n
Former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, who is now at loggerheads with Fubara, had appointed Awuse to replace the then Chairman of the Council, King Dandeson Douglas Jaja.<\/p>\n
However, in the wake of the political crisis, the State House of Assembly, led by Martin Amaewhule, promulgated a law that barred Fubara from interfering with the leadership of the traditional council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
