BREAKING: Labour Party officially drops petition against Fubara’s victory as Rivers governor

The move comes weeks after the Appeal Court affirmed Fubara’s victory, dismissing legal challenges from other parties, including the LP.

Governor Fubara, through his Twitter handle, expressed gratitude for the resolution, emphasizing the importance of unity and cooperation among political entities for the betterment of Rivers State.

Meanwhile, two more commissioners have resigned from the cabinet of Fubara amid his rift with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike.

This has brought the number of commissioners, who have resigned from the governor’s cabinet to nine.

The latest to resign are the Commissioner for Special Projects, Emeka Woke and the Commissioner for Environment, Austen Ben-Chioma.

While Woke served as the Chief of Staff to former governor and current FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, Ben-Chioma served as Commissioner for Urban Development in the immediate past administration.

Woke was also former Local Government Chairman of Emohua Local Government Area.

His letter of resignation is dated November 14, 2023 as that of the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Professor Zacchaeus Adangor (SAN), whose resignation was first to be reported.

“My decision to resign at this time necessitated by pressing family demands for my time and attention as well as the desire to afford other deserving Rivers people the opportunity to serve you and the state in that capacity,” Woke’s letter read in part.

However, Ben-Chioma’s letter is dated December 15, 2023 as the case with the rest of the cabinet members that have resigned.

He also highlighted that his decision to resign was due to personal reasons.

Those who resigned earlier include the state’s Attorney-General (AG) and Commissioner for Justice Prof Zacchaeus Adangor, Commissioner for Works George-Kelly Alabo, Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Commissioner Inime Aguma and Commissioner of Finance, Isaac Kamalu.

The seven commissioners that earlier resigned from Governor Fubara’s cabinet.
