In a surprising development, a wave of resignations has swept through the cabinet of Rivers State Governor, Siminilaye Fubara. The exodus includes key figures from various departments, indicating a significant shift within the state’s administrative landscape.

The resignations come amid reports that Governor Fubara directed these commissioners to step down. Notably, five of the departing commissioners previously served under Wike’s administration in similar capacities, while Emeka Woke held the position of Wike’s Chief of Staff for eight years.
