A coalition of groups has issued a 7-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Sole Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, to declare his assets. The coalition’s demand is in line with the Code of Conduct Bureau’s requirements for public officials.
Ibas was appointed as the Sole Administrator of Rivers State following the declaration of a state of emergency in the state. His appointment has been met with mixed reactions, with some criticizing the move as undemocratic.
The coalition’s ultimatum is seen as a move to ensure transparency and accountability in the administration of the state. By declaring his assets, Ibas will be demonstrating his commitment to upholding the principles of good governance.
It remains to be seen whether Ibas will comply with the coalition’s demand within the stipulated timeframe. The development is being closely watched by stakeholders in the state, who are eager to see how the situation unfolds.
