Rivers Crisis: Attorney-General rejects redeployment, resigns from cabinet

Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of Rivers
State, Zacchaeus Adangor has rejected his redeployment as Commissioner for
Special Duties.

Zacchaeus also tendered his resignation from the state
executive council.

Recall that Zacchaeus had, on 14 December, resigned his
position as the Attorney-General of the state following the face-off between
Governor Sim Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT,
Nyesom Wike.

Zacchaeus and other commissioners who resigned due to the
political crisis in the state, however, returned to the government after being
reconfirmed by the state House of Assembly.

Fubara, earlier in the week, reshuffled his cabinet and
redeployed Zacchaeus as the commissioner for Special Duties (Governor’s
Office).
