The suspension of the State Finance Commissioner, Dr Magnus Kpakol and
the State Accountant-General, Sir Abere Dagogo were on Valentine Day lifted by Rivers
State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.
Addressing Rivers State public servants and political leaders
during a Special Valentine Couples Night organised by his wife,
Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike at the Government House, Port
Harcourt, Governor Wike said the suspension was lifted in
deference to the interventions by different political
leaders and as a show of love during the valentine.
Governor Wike charged political appointees to differentiate between
friendship and governance in the discharge of their respective functions.
He said:
"Governance is a serious business. It is not friendship. When
it comes to governance I won't know friendship.
"I will lift the suspension on the Finance Commissioner and the
Accountant-General, but they must henceforth take their functions seriously.
Next time, I will not take into consideration the please of political
stakeholders".
He advised all political appointees to take their responsibilities seriously
as his administration must succeed in the delivery of projects contained in his
development blueprint.
