Governor Siminialayi Fubara of Rivers State has made a significant move by removing Eze Sergeant Awuse as Chairman of the State Supreme Council of Traditional Rulers, citing instability and double standards in Awuse's leadership.

The removal was announced during a special meeting at the Government House in Port Harcourt, with Eze Chike Worlu Wodo appointed as Awuse's replacement.

This development may be linked to the ongoing political tensions in the state, with Fubara's move seen as a strategic step to consolidate his position and promote stability.

The appointment of Wodo, who is expected to bring stability and leadership to the council, has been welcomed by many in the state. The Rivers State Supreme Council of Traditional Rulers plays a vital role in promoting the state's cultural and traditional heritage, and this leadership change may signal a shift in the political landscape of Rivers State.

He said;

“It is like your chairman has ran away. May be when your chairman is ready, he will write to me. If he gets the approval he can then come for the meeting.

“But you already already know his position. He is not a stable man, he is not a stable character. He cannot say something in the morning and say another thing in the evening.

“It is because of that he decided to hide his head. You have to bear with him until when God will help us remove this problem you are having. By the grace of God it will be resolved soon.”
