The political face-off in Rivers State has taken a disturbing dimension as governor Sim Fubara has revealed that plans are underway to constitute a judicial panel of inquiry to probe how the affairs of governance were conducted in the state under his predecessor, Mr Nysom Wike before he took over the baton of leadership.
Fubara disclosed this while swearing in Honourable Dagogo Iboroma as the Attorney General of the State and Commissioner for Justice.

The governor noted that though he thought the political crisis he considered as a problem within a family would have been resolved but regretted that there had been no headway out of it.
He accused his opponents of deliberately frustrating his administration while he was hoping that the issue in the state would be resolved peacefully.
Fubara vowed to make tough decisions moving forward no matter how hurtful they would seem.
He 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, I 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 and peaceful. You are not a noise maker. People like you are endowed, and they have the fear of God.”
