Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor, SAN, has asked the former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, not to play politics with abandoned property in the state.
Adangor said attempts to play politics with ‘abandoned property that is considered legally closed and cannot be revisited is distasteful.” The Attorney General stated this shortly after the State Executive Council meeting presided over, yesterday, by Governor Nyesom Wike in Government House, Port Harcourt. He said it was unconscionable for the former minister to instigate hostility between Igbo and other people of the state.
Adangor, in a statement signed by Kelvin Ebiri, Special Assistant to Wike, declared that the issue of abandoned property in Rivers State is essentially and palpably one of law. “The constitutionality of that law has been tested in several decisions of our court, including that of the Supreme Court and that law is still a subsisting law, and it has never been invalidated by any judgment of the court.
The Attorney General declared that by playing politics with the abandoned property issue, Amaechi does not mean well for Rivers State. Similarly, Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Dr. Tammy Danagogo, declared that the State Executive Council, in very strong terms, condemned “Amaechi’s recklessness in trying to reawaken the ghosts of the abandoned property issue in Rivers State.”
