Fubara’s Reshuffled Cabinet: Rivers attorney general Zacchaeus Adangor quits
Zacchaeus Adangor, Rivers attorney general and commissioner for justice has resigned his appointment.
Mr Adangor said this in a letter dated April 24 addressed to the secretary to the state government office on Wednesday in Port Harcourt.
“I wish to state for the record that I am no longer willing to continue to serve in the administration of His Excellency Sir Siminialaye Fubara, governor of Rivers, in any capacity whatsoever.
“It is important to mention that the governor had in the past couple of weeks willfully interfered in the performance of my duties as the honourable Attorney general and commissioner for justice of the state by directing me not to defend, oppose or appear in suits instituted against the Attorney-General and the government of Rivers by persons admittedly hired and sponsored by the government of Rivers,” he said.
Governor Siminialaye Fubara approved a slight cabinet reshuffle on April 23, which affected Mr Adangor and the commissioner for finance, Isaac Kamalu, believed to be loyal to FCT minister Nyesom Wike.
Mr Adangor was redeployed to the Ministry of Special Duties, while Mr Kamalu was transferred to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment.
However, Mr Adangor, in a letter, rejected his new posting and resigned from the cabinet.
