Prof Zacchaeus Adangor has resigned as the Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice in Rivers State.
Adangor’s resignation, dated December 14, 2023, was addressed to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Adangor’s said his resignation was based “purely on personal decision”.
Adangor was Rivers AG under the administration of Nyesom Wike, who was governor from May 2015 to May 2023.
His resignation occurred amid the ongoing political crisis rocking the state with the state assembly as the “boxing ring”.
The crisis in the 32-member Rivers State House of Assembly had begun as a result of a rift between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), a position in the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled government though he is a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
The Assembly Complex was demolished on Wednesday by the governor amid tight security about two months after fire gutted the complex.
