While Adango’s reasons were publicly disclosed, Woke’s resignation letter remains shrouded in confidentiality, according to reports from the Nigerian Tribune.
The lack of transparency has fueled speculation about the motives behind Woke’s decision and its potential implications for the political landscape.
This development unfolds against the backdrop of a bitter political feud between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his predecessor, former FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.
The animosity between the two has already prompted a notable shift in political allegiance, with 27 lawmakers defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Insiders suggest that Woke’s resignation may be a strategic move, possibly signaling allegiance to former Minister Wike, whom he served under in the past.
The dynamics of this departure could further intensify the power struggle within the ruling party and contribute to the ongoing realignment of political forces in Rivers State.
