Siminalayi Fubara, governor of Rivers, has redeployed two commissioners in his cabinet in a major shake-up since he took the mantle of leadership of the state.
Tammy Danagogo, secretary to the state government (SSG),
announced the development in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Fubara redeployed Zacchaeus Adangor, attorney-general and
commissioner for justice, to the ministry of special duties.
The governor also deployed Isaac Kamalu, commissioner for
finance, to the ministry of employment generation and economic empowerment.
Danagogo said the commissioners are to hand over to the
permanent secretaries in their outgoing ministries, adding that deployment is
with immediate effect.
Both commissioners are loyalists of Nyesom Wike, the
immediate former governor of Rivers and incumbent minister of the federal
capital territory (FCT).
Last year, the commissioners resigned from their positions
following the political feud between Wike and Fubara.
They were later reinstated after Wike and Fubara signed a
peace accord facilitated by President Bola Tinubu.
Wike and Fubara are locked in a struggle for control of
Rivers’ political structure.
The political crisis led to the defection of 27 state house of
assembly members, who are loyal to Wike, from the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The lawmakers have been threatening the govenor with
impeachment.
The lawmakers have vetoed the governor in at least three
bills after he refused his assent
