* Swears in Iboroma as new attorney-General
Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara has vowed of setting up a judicial panel of inquiry.
It will investigate the affairs of governance in the state.
Governor Fubara assured that he will not go back on the resolve.
He gave the hint shortly after swearing in Dagogo Israel Iboroma, SAN, as the new Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice of the State.
The event occurred at the Executive Chambers of Government House in Port Harcourt.
Governor Fubara said: “So, my brother, Dagogo Iboroma, you are going to be the brand new Attorney- General of our dear State. SSG, give him his letter, he is the Attorney-General.
“Why are we bringing you at this very critical time. We have a lot of issues around us.
“We believe that you are not going to be the one that when they send service to you, you go and file “nolle prosequi” or you go and file one thing that would kill us here.”
“Let me also say this, you have a big task. We will be setting up a judicial panel of inquiry to investigate the affairs of governance. So, brace up, am not going back on it.
“Please, defend us. We know that you are going to defend us because your record is clean. You are a gentleman, peaceful, you are not a noise maker. People like that are endowed and they have the fear of God.
“I am happy that this is happening today to mark the beginning of a new era in our administration.
“When I said that I had a reason for being patient, it is because I know that we are all from one family. And if we have a disagreement, no matter how bad it is, it should be resolved.
“But it has become very clear that with this disagreement, there is no way to resolve it. And for a lot of reasons, there are visible evidences that there is sabotage, deliberate attempts to sabotage this administration.
“For that reason, we have moved forward. And, by moving forward, if it means taking decision that is going to hurt anybody, we are not going back.”
“It is not like the one we had here who while here, they now pay money to give you SAN. When you become a SAN, the only thing you will do is to sabotage government.
“Instead of you to close your mouth, you go publicly to claim that you are a learned person, to go publicly to tell people that you were the Chief Law Officer.
“Chief Law Officer? you were here to stand before a magistrate court. At that time, you didn’t remember that you were a Chief Law Officer, going against the ethics of your job. Like I said, you will get your reward, not in the next world, but in this world.
“Maybe, where they are, they are telling them nothing will happen, but something is happening here live.
“We have our own legislature that are performing their duties according to the constitution.
“So, that record is straightened. There is no two ways about it and no ambiguity.
“Coming to our brand new commissioner, everybody knows your area of specialization.
“I am happy that you are already a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN before coming in. It means that you must have been a thorough bred professional.”
