He said:
“He (Fubara) is not the person people think he is, he is not a peacemaker.”
Adangor: “Fubara wanted me to challenge Tinubu’s deal”
Buttressing his point, Adangor, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), said he resigned from Fubara’s cabinet, because he refused to obey the governor when he allegedly asked him to institute suits to challenge the validity of the peace accord by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on the feud between Fubara and Wike.
Adangor went on to accuse Governor Fubara of fueling the political crisis rocking Rivers state.
“He (Fubara) is not the person people think he is, he is not a peacemaker.
“Politically, I am loyal to Wike, there is no doubt about that. I wouldn’t know whether he was angered by that or not,” Adangor said.
“I’m loyal to Wike”, Adangor declares
Speaking further, Adangor said it was misleading that Fubara claimed that he sabotaged his administration while in office as attorney general, Vanguard reported.
Adangor further said the Fubara’s recent actions has shown he is not committed to end the feud between him and his predecessor.
He added that he remained loyal to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Wike.
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.”
“I will blow your head off”: Wike says in viral video

Wike said: “I am not a born-again Christian. I am a Christian but not a born-again Christian. When they slap you and turn there. I don’t know whether I will survive the other one, I will blow your head off.”
