House of Representatives Speaker Abbas Tajudeen explained yesterday that the primary assignment of the Administrator of Rivers State, Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas was to ensure that the basic functions of governance were met during his stay in office.
Abbas also said that the administrator must be transparent and accountable in his actions since he would be relating with the National Assembly on all matters that pertain to peace order and the running of the state.
The Speaker dismissed insinuation in some quarters that the National Assembly’s intervention in the Rivers political logjam was an instrument of political vendetta.
