Further to the referenced letter. I hereby give you notice of my rejection of the said deployment and resignation from the Rivers State Executive Council with effect from 24* day of April, 2024.
I wish to state for the record, that I am no longer willing to continue to serve in the administration of His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, Govemor of Rivers State, in any capacity whatsoever.
