The Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice in Rivers state, Prof. Zaccheaus Adangor, has resigned from his position.
His resignation comes on the heels of the struggle for the control of the state between Governor Simi Fubara, and his predecessor Nyesom Wike.
The political impasse led to the defection of 27 lawmakers in the state House of Assembly to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
Adangor said in his letter to Governor Fubara that his resignation was on personal grounds.
The state’s number one chief law officer served under Wike for eight years in the same position.
The magazine learned that this might just be the prelude to mass resign from Fubara’s administration, hordes of appointees inherited from former Governor Wike.
It was learned that the governor has given the appointees an option to join “his group’ against the ongoing battle against Wike or resign.
More fireworks are being expected in the weeks ahead, as the governor and Wike, now Federal Capital Territory, FCT, minister continue to square up in the battle of attrition for the control of the oil rich state.
