The crisis currently rocking Rivers State has deepened as two more commissioners have resigned from their positions in the state executive council.
The Commissioner for Works, George-Kelly Alabo, and his counterpart from the Ministry of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation, Inime Chinwenwo-Aguma, tendered their resignation letters on Thursday.
The letter, dated December 14, was addressed to the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, through the Secretary to the State Government.
Alabo, a staunch loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, stated that he resigned based on the dictates of his conscience.
His letter, titled ‘Resignation as Honourable Commissioner for Works, Rivers State,’ reads: “My decision to resign is anchored on my conscience, personal philosophy, and professional ethics. This decision was taken after deep introspection.”
Alabo and Chinwenwo-Aguma’s resignations came hours after the state Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Prof Zacchaeus Adangor, resigned from his position.
