Siminalayi Fubara, Nyesom Wike
Fubara not peacemaker, wants feud with Wike to continue – Ex-Rivers commissioner
A former Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof Zacchaeus Adangor, said Governor Siminalayi Fubara is not interested in having peace and tranquility in the State.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Adangor said Fubara wants his rift with his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, to drag on for as long as possible, stating that the governor is not interested in reconciliation.
He said, “He (Fubara) is not the person people think he is, he is not a peacemaker.”
Adangor, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, said he resigned from Fubara’s cabinet in April because he refused to obey the governor when he allegedly asked him to file a suits to challenge the legality of the Presidential Peace Pact by President Bola Tinubu on the feud between Fubara and Wike.
The former commissioner said his travails with the governor started on December 18, 2023 after the Presidential Peace Pact in Abuja.
He said the governor did not reach out to him before he was transferring from the justice ministry to the Ministry of Special Duties.

Adangor stated that his redeployment by Fubara was a consequence of his stance on the rule of law, adding that he felt his redeployment was ridiculous and uncalled for hence his resignation.
The former justice commissioner said it was misleading that Fubara claimed that he (Adangor) sabotaged his administration while in office as attorney general.
Adangor said, “Politically, I am loyal to Wike, there is no doubt about that. I wouldn’t know whether he was angered by that or not.
“But as far as I remember, he (Fubara) was angry that I insisted on conducting a matter in accordance with the understanding of the law.”
The former attorney general said, “I never applied to work for Governor Fubara; I was invited to serve under him. Even after my first resignation on 14th of November, I never wanted to come back as a person but the President asked us to go back.”
He said the governor had not shown any genuine desire to have the feud between himself and his predecessor resolved.
