Rivers State House of Assembly on Wednesday asked the nine Commissioners nominees sent by governor Similanayi Fubara for screening to take a bow and go.
The nine nominees are loyalists of the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Barrister Nyesom Wike.
The governor as part of the implementation of the eight-point resolution reached at a peace meeting brokered between him and Wike sent the name of the nine Commissioner nominees to the Assembly.
The State House of Assembly in a letter of invitation signed by the Clerk, Dr Emeka Amadi directed key Wike loyalists who had earlier rendered their resignation to appear before it for screening.

The motion was supported by the deputy speaker, Rt Hon Dumle Maol, hence they were asked to ‘bow and go.’
