Chidi Amadi, the Chief of Staff to Governor Siminalayi Fubara in Rivers State, has submitted his resignation, amplifying the already tense political atmosphere in the region.
The confirmation of Amadi's resignation came from the state's Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, who stated that Governor Fubara would announce a replacement in due course. Amadi, a former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, shared a close political bond with Wike, the state's governor.
His departure marks the tenth high-profile exit from Fubara's cabinet, reflecting the widening chasm between the governor and his erstwhile political mentor, Wike.
As the state awaits the governor's announcement of a new Chief of Staff, speculations and political analyses intensify regarding the implications of these recent resignations on the political landscape of Rivers State.
