Another Commissioner quits in Rivers State

1.1k


The River State Commissioner of Finance, Mr. Isaac Kamalu, has resigned as after he was redeployed to the Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment Ministry by Governor Simi Fubara.

A few hours ago, the State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Prof. Zaccaeus Adangor (SAN), also reigned.

Adangor announced his quitting the cabinet following his redeployment to the Ministry of Special Duties (Governor’s Office), barely 24 hours after Gov. Siminalayi Fubara moved him in a cabinet reshuffle.

Kamalu, who served as commissioner for Budget and Economics under former Nyesom Wike and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, resigned in a letter to Gov. Fubura and the Secretary to the Government, Tammy Danagogo.

He accused Fubara of lying about the internally generated revenue of Rivers State.

“In view of the above, I find it difficult to accept the redeployment; I do not accept it. I reject it and convey my immediate resignation as Commissioner and Member of the River State Executive Council with effect from the date of this letter.”
