In the midst of the ongoing political crisis in Rivers State, Prof Zacchaeus Adangor has tendered his resignation as the Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice. Dated December 14, 2023, Adangor’s resignation letter was addressed to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.<\/p>\n
Citing “purely personal decision” as the basis for his resignation, Adangor’s departure comes at a tumultuous time for the state, marked by a political feud between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who currently serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled government, despite being a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.<\/p>\n
Having served as Rivers AG during Wike’s administration from May 2015 to May 2023, Adangor’s decision to step down adds another layer of complexity to the political dynamics in the state. The recent demolition of the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex by Governor Fubara, amid tight security, further underscores the intensity of the rift between the current governor and his predecessor.<\/p>\n
Adangor’s resignation, occurring against the backdrop of the political turmoil, raises questions about the potential ripple effects within the state government and legal apparatus. As the crisis in the state assembly persists, with political tensions reaching a boiling point, the resignation of a key figure like Adangor adds to the uncertainty surrounding the future direction of Rivers State politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
