Chief Emeka Woke, the Rivers State Commissioner for Special Projects, has stepped down from his position in Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration. This move follows the recent departure of Attorney General Zachaus Adango, who cited personal reasons for his exit.
While the details of Woke’s resignation letter remain confidential and have not been publicly disclosed, it is reported by the Nigerian Tribune. This development unfolds against the backdrop of an escalating political feud between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, former FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The ongoing discord has already prompted 27 lawmakers to defect from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Insiders suggest that Woke’s decision to resign may be seen as a gesture of loyalty to Wike, under whom he previously served.
