Amaechi Swears in New 21 LG Caretaker Chairmen

Rivers State governor and the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), Rotimi Amaechi, has sworn in 21 local government council chairmen at Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital

During the swearing-in ceremony on Monday, Amaechi urged the newly sworn-in council chairmen to attach seriousness to the protection of lives and property in the various councils across the state.

Some of the council chairmen include Udi Udom of Abua/Odual, Chief Kassidy Ikegbidi for Ahoada-East, Esuku N. Esuku for Andoni, Orji Ngofa for Eleme, Nweke Felix for Oyigbo local government area, and Ojukaye Flagg-Amachree for Asari-Toru.

Others are Mina Tende for Ogu/Bolo, Kadilo Kabari for Gokana, Worlu Gift for Obio/Akpor, Felix Amadi for Ikwerre, Nnamdi Wuche for Phalga, Fenibo Jack for Akuku/Toru, Agabi Blessing for Ahoada-West and Charles Anyanwu for Etche local government area.

Also sworn in were Akaba Nemaa Aleelo for Tai, Nnamdi Abah for Emohua, Barrister Kelechi Ubani for Omuma, Mene Derek for Khana and Chief Amangi Sunday for Okirika.

This is the third time Governor Amaechi has sworn in council chairmen for another three months in office, which the opposition in the state has recently criticised.


He also called on security operatives to assist the government and the various councils to tackle the increasing crime rate in the state.

“I want you all to attach seriousness to your primary assignment. It is my hope that the police and other security operatives will help you in arresting the criminals,” the governor said.
