Senate confirms Tinubu’s nominees for boards of four Rivers agencies.
The Senate on Wednesday confirmed President Bola Tinubu’s nominees for key positions across four agencies in Rivers State.
The confirmation followed the presentation of the screening report by the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Emergency Rule in Rivers State, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele (APC–Ekiti), during plenary.
Bamidele noted that all screened nominees demonstrated knowledge relevant to their prospective roles, met the constitutional requirements, and passed security checks. No petitions were filed against them.
However, Senators Abdul Ningi (PDP–Bauchi), Ali Ndume (APC–Borno), and Abba Moro (PDP–Benue) raised concerns over the nomination of Dr. Michael Odey—a native of Cross River State—as RSIEC Chairman. They argued that Rivers State has capable indigenes suitable for such a sensitive role.
Ndume urged caution, stating, “The Senate must be guided beyond just the constitution; it must also consider perception and representation.
