WIKE’S LOYALIST REJECTS FUBARA’S REDEPLOYMENT, RESIGNS AS COMMISSIONER
Prof. Zaccaeus Adangor, SAN, the Rivers State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, has resigned from the State Executive Council after refusing to be redeployed to the Ministry of Special Duties (Governor’s Office).
Adangorās resignation came barely 24 hours after the state Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, redeployed him in a minor cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday.
Fubara, in a letterĀ of resignation dated 24th April, 2024, and addressed to the Secretary to Rivers State government, Dr Tammy Danagogo, Professor Zacchacus Adangor said he was no longer willing to continue to serve in the administration of Fubara.
Adangor and Kamalu were among Wikeās loyalists who resigned in the heat of the rift between the Minister and Fubara.
However, following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, they were reabsorbed into Fubaraās government.
Reabsorbing them into his administration was one of the points in the terms of the peace accord which was perceived as a political situation to the crisis.
But few months down the line, the accord collapsed as both camps renewed hostilities.
