The News Agency of Nigeria reports that on December 16,
2023, a gale of resignations had hit the State’s Executive Council following
the political crisis between the Governor of the state, Siminalayi Fubara, and
his predecessor, the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Adangor, George-Kelly, Woke, Aguma, Kamalu, Mmom and
Ben-Chioma, resigned.
NAN also reports that the reinstatement of the former
commissioners who resigned their appointments formed part of the demands of
President Tinubu’s peace agreement with Fubara.
