Few days after the State Assembly vetoed governor Siminalayi Fubara, with the passage of the Local Government amendment bill into law, the governor on Tuesday carried out a minor cabinet reshufflement which affected two commissioner
The Rivers state government in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo announced 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.
The statement, which said the redeployments will take immediate effect, directed the commissioners to hand over to the permanent secretaries in their outgoing ministries, pending the appointment of their successors
It would be recalled that both commissioners are loyalists of Nyesom Wike, the immediate former governor of Rivers and incumbent minister of the federal capital territory (FCT).
The commissioners also resigned from the State Executive Council last year, 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 who have been threatening the governor with impeachment have continued to vetoe the governor compass bills bills which he refused his assen into law.
