In a shocking turn of events, Chief Emeka Woke, the Rivers State Commissioner for Special Projects, has tendered his resignation from Governor Siminalayi Fubara's cabinet. This announcement comes shortly after the departure of the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Zachaus Adango, adding to the growing political turmoil in the state.
Chief Emeka Woke made his decision public on Thursday afternoon in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State. While Zachaus Adango cited personal reasons for his resignation, the reasons behind Chief Emeka Woke's decision remain undisclosed as his resignation letter has not been made public.
Both Chief Emeka Woke and Zachaus Adango were members of the kitchen cabinet of the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike. The ongoing political fire in Rivers State stems from the disagreement between Minister Wike and his political son, Governor Fubara. It is believed that Governor Fubara made the appointments of Chief Emeka Woke and Zachaus Adango based on Minister Wike's instructions.
Although neither Chief Emeka Woke nor Zachaus Adango have been directly implicated in the current crisis, their resignations are likely connected to their loyalty to Minister Wike, whom they served for a significant period of time. Chief Emeka Woke served as the Chief of Staff, Government House for eight years, while Zachaus Adango served for a better half of Minister Wike's eight-year tenure.
The resignation of Chief Emeka Woke adds to the uncertainty and instability in Rivers State's political landscape. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story as the situation continues to unfold.
