Chairman of Rivers State Supreme Council of Traditional Ruler’s Council, High Royal Majesty, Eze Sergeant Awuse, has been removed from the position by Governor Siminialayi Fubara.

His Royal Majesty, Eze Chike Worlu Wodo has now been appointed as Chairman of the council.

The governor made this announcement while presiding over a Special Meeting of the Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers at the Banquet Hall, Government House, Port Harcourt, Friday, June 21.

Addressing newsmen after the meeting, Fubara stated that Awuse has been an unstable character, noting that he has been playing double standards since the political crisis in the state.

He said;

“It is like your chairman has ran away. May be when your chairman is ready, he will write to me. If he gets the approval he can then come for the meeting.

“But you already 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.

“It 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.”
