From Sylvanus Viashima, Jalingo
The Taraba State House of Assembly on Wednesday confirmed the nomination of eight persons as prospective commissioners in the state’s executive council and nominations as caretaker Chairmen, vice Chairmen and Councilors for the Sixteen Local Government areas of the state.
Speaker of the state House of Assembly Professor Joseph Albasu Kunini read the names of the commissioner nominees as Lois Emmanuel, Illiya Agabi, Emmanuel Massa-Ibi, Shuaibu Yakubu Mailiki, Hassan Bappa, Saleh Sa’ad, Dr David Ishaya Kassa and John Mboli.
Kunini said that according to the communication from the state governor Darius Ishaku, the nominations were meant to fill the vacancies created with the resignation of some commissioners in their bid to contest for various elective positions in the last Primaries of the People’s Democratic Party PDP.
The nominees who were mostly former members of the state House of Assembly or Commissioners were basically asked to take a bow and walk as there were no objections to their nominations.
