“It is important to mention that the governor had in the past couple of weeks willfully interfered in the performance of my duties as the Honorable Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice of the state by directing me not to defend, oppose or appear in suits instituted against the Attorney-General and the government of Rivers by persons admittedly hired and sponsored by the government of Rivers,” he said.
