Tinubu replaces another Buhari's appointee with ex-Lagos commissioner

Legit.ng reports that Obuah is the immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state. He is a former chairman of Ogba–Egbema–Ndoni local government area (LGA) of Rivers state.

Obuah, a disciple of Wike, was a governorship aspirant in the oil-rich state in the 2023 election. The business magnate, however, failed to get the PDP's ticket in the poll because Wike backed Siminalayi Fubara, the incumbent governor.

A former presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi, noted the development.

He wrote on his known X handle:

"Immediate past chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state, Felix Obuah, has been appointed the coordinator of Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC).

"He is a former chairman of Ogba–Egbema–Ndoni LGA in Rivers state."
