Ikyur and Iornumbe’s appointment takes effect from November 1.
Meanwhile, incumbent Governor Ortom who is term-limited has said that he is still consulting with God on whether to run for senate in 2023.
“I am still consulting with God because I do not take any decision without consulting my God. If he says yes, I will go ahead and contest, but if He says no, I will obey his decision,” Ortom said recently while speaking with journalists.
