In a surprising turn of events, the Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacheaus Adangor, has tendered his resignation to Governor Sim Fubara. The resignation, communicated through a letter dated November 14, 2023, emphasized that the decision was rooted in personal principles and not influenced by the ongoing political turbulence in the state.
The letter, addressed to Governor Fubara, stated, “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 departure] from the said office is based on personal principles.”
While the letter did not delve into the specific reasons behind Adangor’s resignation, it hinted that the move was a matter of personal conviction rather than a response to the current political crisis gripping the state. Further details are expected to be disclosed in due course.
