Mass Resignations Rock Governor Fubara’s Cabinet
Two of former governor, Nyesom Wike’s loyalists – who is a commissioner in Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara’s cabinet has resigned after he was moved to another ministry.
The former Attorney General of Rivers State, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN), who was deployed to the Ministry of Special Duties in a cabinet reshuffle by Fubara on Tuesday, has resigned from the Rivers State cabinet.
Adangor, a loyalist of the immediate past governor and Minister of Federal Capital Territory Abuja, Wike, accused Fubara of interfering in his duties recently, in his resignation letter which was addressed to the Secretary of the Rivers State Government, Tammy Danagogo.
The letter, is with Ref: MJ/HAG/SSG/4/VOL.1/22 and dated 24th April, 2024, titled: “Cabinet Reshufflement: Notice Of Rejection Of Deployment And Resignation From The Rivers State Executive Council.”
The law professor explained in the letter that he chose to leave the government to preserve his reputation, alleging that the governor had directed him not to defend or oppose suits filed against the Attorney-General and the Government of Rivers State by individuals sponsored by the same state government.
The letter partly read: “The Governor of Rivers State had in the past couple of weeks willfully interfered with the performance of my duties as the Honourable Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.
“I wish to state for the record, that I am no longer willing to continue to serve in the administration of His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, Governor of Rivers State, in any capacity whatsoever.
“It is important to mention that the Governor of Rivers State had in the past couple of weeks willfully interfered with the performance of my duties as the Honourable Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Rivers State by directing me not to defend, oppose, or appear in suits insinuated against the Honourable Attorney-General and the Government of Rivers State by persons admittedly hired and sponsored by the Government of Rivers State.”

Isaac, a strong ally of Wike, in his resignation letter accused Governor Fubara of lying about the IGR of Rivers State.

Edo guber: LP’s Akpata remains a front runner, set to capture Edo
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.
Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.
For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.
THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.
He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.
There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….
A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.
The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.
