These are the commissioners Wike imposed on Gov Fubara. They were Wike protégé that were to hoodwinked the new Gov and continually fill the pocket of Wike. That’s Wike still being the Gov for 3rd tenure and sane time Minister. Ie Hov/Minister Wike. Infact they should all go. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Gov Fubara replace them fast with other genuine Rivers qualified people.
