Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of Rivers State, Zacchaeus Adangor has rejected his redeployment as Commissioner for Special Duties.<\/p>\n

Zacchaeus also tendered his resignation from the state executive council.<\/p>\n

Zacchaeus had, on 14 December, resigned his position as the Attorney-General of the state following the face-off between Governor Sim Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.<\/p>\n

Zacchaeus and other commissioners who resigned due to the political crisis in the state, however, returned to the government after being reconfirmed by the state House of Assembly.<\/p>\n

Fubara, earlier in the week, reshuffled his cabinet and redeployed Zacchaeus as the commissioner for Special Duties (Governor\u2019s Office).<\/p>\n

In a letter sightedand addressed to the Secretary to the Rivers State government, Zacchaeus rejected his new office.<\/p>\n

Zacchaeus, a strong ally of Wike, in his resignation letter, accused Governor Fubara of interfering with the performance of his duties as Attorney General of the state.<\/p>\n
