In a dramatic turn of events in Rivers State, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Zacchaeus Adangor, has made a bold statement by rejecting his redeployment and tendering his resignation from the state executive council.
The saga traces back to December 14, when Adangor initially resigned from his position as Attorney-General amidst a heated face-off between Governor Sim Fubara and Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike. Alongside other commissioners caught in the political turmoil, Adangor eventually returned to office after being reconfirmed by the State House of Assembly.
However, tensions reignited this week as Fubara reshuffled his cabinet, relocating Adangor to the position of Commissioner for Special Duties within the Governor's Office. In a clear act of defiance, Adangor penned a letter addressed to the Secretary to the Rivers State government, rejecting his new appointment.
As a prominent ally of Wike, Adangor's resignation letter cited Governor Fubara's alleged interference in the execution of his duties as Attorney-General as the primary reason for his decision. This move underscores the deep-seated political divide within Rivers State and the ongoing power struggle between Fubara and Wike.
The rejection of redeployment by Adangor marks a significant blow to Fubara's administration, raising concerns about the state's governance and the future trajectory of its political landscape. With tensions escalating, political observers closely watch for further developments and the potential ramifications on Rivers State's stability and governance.
