Shortly after the resignation of Zacchaeus Adangor, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Rivers State, another commissioner, Isaac Kamalu, has also left the cabinet of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Similar to Adangor, Kamalu expressed his refusal to be redeployed from the Finance Ministry to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment in a letter to the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Tammy Danagogo. Kamalu cited the ongoing lack of peace in Rivers State, despite the peace agreement made by President Bola Tinubu in December.
He stated that it would be impossible for him to perform at his best in an environment filled with conflict. In response to this, the governor implemented a minor cabinet reshuffle, moving Adangor to the Ministry of Special Duties (Governor’s Office) and Kamalu to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment.
The two individuals in question, known for their unwavering loyalty to Governor Wike, have opted to stand firm in their current positions rather than accepting a relocation order within the government’s structure.

Governor Wike’s response to this development will be closely watched, as it will offer insights into his leadership style and ability to navigate internal political dynamics. Whether he chooses to address the situation diplomatically or take a more assertive stance remains to be seen, but his handling of the situation will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the administration’s future trajectory.
In the meantime, the resignations of these two allies have sent shockwaves through the political landscape of [insert location], prompting intense speculation and analysis about the underlying motivations and potential consequences.
