Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has announced a fresh adjustment to his cabinet, appointing the Commissioner for Sports Development, Christopher Green, as the new Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.

The decision was taken during the final State Executive Council meeting of the year, held in Port Harcourt. The latest move comes amid ongoing changes within the state government following the Supreme Court judgment on the political crisis in Rivers State, which led to the exit of some cabinet members, including the former Attorney General.

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Information and Communications, the state government confirmed that Green will now oversee the Ministry of Justice. He is also expected to continue supervising the Ministry of Sports Development until a substantive commissioner is appointed.

According to the statement, the reassignment is aimed at ensuring continuity in governance and maintaining effective operations across both ministries as the administration prepares for the new year.

Meanwhile, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that what he described as a “leadership mistake” in Rivers State would be addressed in the 2027 general elections.

Wike made the remark during a thank-you visit to the people of Khana in Bori, Khana Local Government Area. He said the visit was not politically motivated but was intended to express appreciation to the community for their continued support for him and President Bola Tinubu.
