He, however, stated that the incoming administration can do anything it pleases with the appointees if meeting up with their financial obligations is an issue.
He defended his decision to appoint more people saying that they are Rivers people.
He said “The people appointed are they not Rivers people? Will they not be paid salaries?

“This is part of what we promised our people, if the next government come and cannot go with it, it is not tied to continue with it.”
