Similarly, Worlu in his reason for resignation cited “personal reasons that require my immediate attention.”

“As I move forward, I want to assure you of my continued support and dedication to the welfare and advancement of Rivers State. I am grateful for the opportunity you gave me to serve, and I extend my best wishes to you and the administration as you continue to steer the affairs of our beloved State.”

The initial wave of resignations began with the state’s Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice, Prof Zacchaeus Adangor. His decision to resign has been purportedly linked to the ongoing power struggle between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Mr. Wike.

Mr. Adango’s resignation became public a day after the House of Assembly, constituted by only four members loyal to Governor Fubara, declared vacant the seats of the 27 lawmakers who had defected.

Subsequently, Commissioner for Works George-Kelly Alabo, who had previously served in the same capacity under Nyesom Wike’s administration, and the Commissioners for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Inime Aguma, and Finance, Isaac Kamalu, also decided to tender their resignations.

“I hereby resign my appointment as the Commissioner for Works, Rivers State, effective immediately. My decision to resign is anchored on my conscience, personal philosophy, and professional ethics,” Alabo said in the letter addressed to the governor. “This decision was taken after deep introspection. I appreciate Your Excellency for the opportunity to serve my beloved Rivers State as Commissioner for Works.”

On her part, the Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation cited “personal” reasons for her resignation from the cabinet and wished the current administration well.

“I hereby tender my resignation as the Honourable Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Rivers State on this day 14th of December 2023,” she wrote. “I thank Your Excellency for the privilege to serve in the State Executive Council. My decision to resign is personal and based on other pressing commitments. I wish Your Excellency a successful tenure and pray for best wishes in all your endeavours.”

The Finance Commissioner, however, did not state why he pulled out of the cabinet.

“I hereby inform you of my immediate resignation as Commissioner of Finance, Rivers State with effect from the date stated above,” he said in his letter. “I thank you for the opportunity granted me to serve our dear State under your administration.”

In his resignation earlier in the day, Adangor said the move was based “purely on personal decision”.
