In a move dominating today’s political headlines, Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has named Dr. Dagogo S.A. Wokoma as the new Secretary to the State Government and Barrister Sunny Ewule as his Chief of Staff — a development widely reported across major outlets including The Punch and The Nation.
According to official statements, both appointments take immediate effect, with a swearing‑in ceremony scheduled for 2:00 p.m. at the Government House in Port Harcourt.
The appointments come amid ongoing efforts by Governor Fubara to recalibrate his administration’s inner circle after months of political tension, including the dissolution of his cabinet earlier this month. Analysts see the fresh move as part of a broader post‑crisis reset following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, which led to the withdrawal of impeachment proceedings against Fubara’s administration.
While official sources have not outlined the reasons behind the removal of the previous office holders, political commentators suggest the new leadership appointments signal a strategic push to strengthen governance and reinforce unity within the state’s executive arm.
Details continue to unfold as the new officials prepare to assume their roles in the heart of Rivers State politics later today.
