Five more commissioners, who are loyal to the controversial Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, have resigned from governor Siminalayi Fubara’s cabinet.
Those who resigned are Chinedu Mmom (from the Ministry of Education), Gift Worlu (from the Ministry of Housing) and Jacobson Nbina (from the Ministry of Transport).
Inime Aguma resigned as the Commissioner for Social Welfare and Rehabilitation saying “There is no room for progressional development in the workplace”.
Austin Ben-Chioma also resigned as the Commissioner for Environment “due to the political crisis befalling our dear Rivers State and other personal reasons”.

While Mmom and Worlu cited a toxic working environment as the main reason for their exit while Nbina cited “unresolved political crisis” in the state as his reason for exit.
The five persons were among the commissioners who first resigned from the governor’s cabinet last December in the wake of the political crisis in the state but were readmitted into Fubara’s cabinet following President Bola Tinubu’s intervention.
