BREAKING: Rivers State Commissioner of Justice and Attorney-general Resigns

Professor Zacchaeus Adangor, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Rivers State, has tendered his resignation, citing “purely personal reasons” in a letter to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

However, Politics Nigeria gathered that his resignation may not be unconnected to the Governor’s controversial presentation of the state budget to only five members of the House of Assembly and the demolition of the State House of Assembly complex on Wednesday.

Recall that at the early stage of the political crisis rocking the state, there were rumours that the former Attorney General had been sacked by the governor. This was, however, denied by the state government.

Adangor is said to be an ally of the Minister of FCT

The crisis in Rivers State heightened on Wednesday when the state government demolished the state legislative chamber.

The state Commissioner for Information and Communications, Joseph Johnson, in a statement on Wednesday, said the place was unsafe for human habitation because of the recent explosion and fire incident there.

Just before the demolition of the chamber, four lawmakers loyal to the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, led by factional Speaker, Edison Ehie, held a plenary at the Government House, Port Harcourt. They thereafter okayed the state budget, presented to them by Governor Fubara.

On Monday, 27 members of the House elected on the Peoples Democratic Party platform defected to the All Progressives Congress. The lawmakers, in their letters written to the factional Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, cited division in the party over the tussle for the position of the National Secretary as the reason for their defection.

  1. What’s really going on in this Rivers State, why can’t wike allow this man called fubara to lead his people peacefully…. bcus I still don’t understand why he’s indirectly pushing for the impeachment of that man, he has ruled the state the way he liked for good eight years… and has also been compensated with the office of the FCT minister, for rigging the presidential election in Rivers State what else does he want?

    1. Politics is all about interest for fubara to have won with wike being hid backbone then he should expect some level of interference In his administration. He should hsve managed wike and not confrontational wike is not Ameachi wike is a stubborn fight and he doesn’t fight battle he will not win

      1. I’m not from Rivers but in all honesty Wike is greedy. I pray present governor will hit back and win the greedy man

    2. It’s unfortunate that some people rather than correct Fubara for being ungrateful to his benefactor, they result to mundane reasoning. It’s expected of Fubara to go back to his source and mend fences with Wike and the state assembly.
