Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara has sworn in the nine re-nominated commissioners who resigned from his cabinet.<\/p>\n

Speaking while swearing-in the commissioners at the Government House, Port Harcourt, on Friday, Fubara noted that they resigned from his cabinet because they were caught in a crossfire.<\/p>\n

The nine commissioners took their oaths at once, beginning with the oath of allegiance before taking the oath of office.<\/p>\n

Congratulating the commissioners, Fubara urged them to do what is right for the state.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think I have any charge for you. You have already read your charge to uphold the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I urge you to do the right thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see how heavy your hearts are. I don\u2019t blame you. You were caught between the crossfire,\u201d Fubara said.<\/p>\n

The commissioners had initially resigned their appointment due to the rift between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.<\/p>\n
