While five nominees were confirmed, including Mr. Tonye Bellgam, Professor Temple Nwofor, Dr. Peters Nwagor, Mr. Lekue Kenneth, and Sir Amairigha Edward Hart, Professor Datonye Alasia, Mrs. Charity Deemua, Tamuno Williams, and Otonye TKD Amachree were rejected.
The Assembly cited “poor performance” as the reason for Professor Alasia’s rejection. Alasia is the immediate past Chief Medical Advisory Committee (CMAC) of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH).
Amachree faced rejection after more than 11 petitions were reportedly filed against him by members of his community regarding his involvement in local matters. Deemua was not confirmed for failing to submit tax clearance documents, while Williams was rejected for allegedly misleading the public about Assembly activities.
The Assembly did not give further details on the next steps for the governor’s remaining nominees.
