Port Harcourt - A report has stated that Nyesom Wike transferred the roster of commissioners, special advisers, and other significant aides, along with their respective roles, to the current Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
This information was disclosed by a trusted associate of the governor, emphasising that Fubara played no role in the appointment process, as his predecessor exclusively handled the selection and designation of these officials.

Instead, it suggests that Wike appointed them, who subsequently designated Fubara as his successor.
The source said:
“Yes, the resignation of the commissioners has shown that they were not appointed by the governor. They were never his nominees.
"The list of the commissioners and advisers was handed over to the governor by the former governor with instructions on portfolios and offices to occupy. Even security agents were handed over to the governor with clear instructions on where to post them.
“Is there a way the governor can appoint commissioners, advisers and others and they will be resigning this way? It is not possible. Don’t forget that we are just about seven months in office. Commissioners appointed by the governor won’t leave.”
How Wike sponsored nomination forms of Gov Fubara
The source corroborated Wike's assertions that he funded the purchase of nomination forms for the governor and other officials in Rivers State.
The source said:
“Yes, the former governor was correct to say he bought the forms for everyone. But pray, with which money? You know the salary of a governor and you know the cost of nomination and expression of interest forms for the Peoples Democratic Party.
“Let those who want to go leave and the governor will assemble members of his team, and not moles planted to spy on the administration.”
