Shake-up in Rivers as Fubara relocates two pro-Wike commissioners

Governor Siminalayi Fubara of River State has made a bold move by reassigning two commissioners who were aligned with Mr. Nyesom Wike, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister.

The two commissioners, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor and Isaac Kamalu were part of the commissioners who resigned from their positions at the onset of the crisis between Governor Fubara and Mr Wike but were recalled to their offices following the intervention of President Bola Tinubu.
