Rivers State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Professor Zacchaeus Adangor has resigned his appointment.
His resignation may not be unconnected with the love lost between the State Governor, Similanayi Fubara and his predecessor and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
But in his resignation letter dated December 14, 2023, Adangor told Governor Fubara that he was leaving the cabinet on personal principle.
Adangor, who served in the immediate past administration of Wike, expressed gratitude to Governor Fubara for considering him worthy to serve in his administration.
His letter reads in part, “I hereby give Your Excellency Notice of my resignation as the Honourable Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Rivers State with effect from the date of this letter.
“For the avoidance of doubt, my resignation from the said office is based on personal principles."
The resignation comes on the heels of the demolition of the State House of Assembly at the instance of Fubara and presentation of the the 2024 budget to four pro-Fubara lawmakers led by Edison Ehie.
