FULL LIST: See complete list of 8 Rivers commissioners that have dumped Fubara’s government

It has been reported that at least eight commissioners in Rivers state have submitted their resignation letters due to the ongoing crisis in the state. These commissioners are said to have close affiliations with Nyesom Wike, who is the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
According to political watchers, the resignations are apparently linked to the power tussle between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.
Out of the six commissioners, five served under Wike’s administration in the same capacity, while Woke was Wike’s Chief of Staff for eight years.
Chief Dr Jacobson Nbina resigned his appointment as the Commissioner for Transport in Rivers State.
He becomes the eighth commissioner to resign from the state executive council.
The state’s Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice Prof Zacchaeus Adangor was the first to lead the wave of resignations.
The Commissioners for Works, Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, and Housing, tendered their resignation letters on Thursday.
The political crisis also took a toll on the state’s legislature – 27 lawmakers who defected from the PDP, of which Fubara is a member, to the APC, had their seats declared vacant by a factional speaker who is loyal to the governor.
As it is, the House of Assembly is run by only four out of 31 members.
The four lawmakers are loyal to Fubara while the 27 are with Wike.
The commissioners, who tendered their resignation so far are:
1. Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN).
2. Commissioner for Works, Dr Des George-Kelly
3. Commissioner for Special Duties, Emeka Woke.
4. Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Mrs Inime Aguma.
5. Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu.
6. Commissioner for Education, Prof. Chinedu Mmom.
7. Commissioner for Housing, Dr Gift Worlu.
8. Commissioner for Transport, Dr Jacobson Nbina
