4 Commissioners Loyal to Minister Wike Resigns In Gov Fubara Cabinet

It appears there’s been a significant shakeup in the Rivers State Government, as five commissioners, all of whom are known loyalists to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, have resigned from Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s cabinet. This wave of resignations includes Chinedu Mmom, the Commissioner for Education; Gift Worlu, the Commissioner for Housing; and Jacobson Nbina, the Commissioner for Transport.

In a dramatic turn of events, four commissioners loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, have resigned from Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s cabinet in Rivers State. This mass resignation comes amid an escalating political crisis in the state, highlighting the deepening rift between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

The four commissioners who resigned are Chinedu Mmom, Gift Worlu, Jacobson Nbina, and Ben-Chioma. They cited a toxic working environment and unresolved political crisis as their reasons for leaving. The resignations follow a recent move by Governor Fubara to set up a panel to probe the governance of the state under the Wike administration, which has further strained relations between the two.

The political crisis in Rivers State has been brewing for a while, with tensions rising over governance and political power struggles. These recent resignations are seen as a significant development in the ongoing saga, reflecting the deep divisions within the state’s political landscape.
