Another loyalist to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, who serves as the state Commissioner for Finance, Isaac Kamalu, has resigned his appointment on Wednesday.
Recall that Prof. Zacchaeus Adangor who served as the state’s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice had resigned his appointment on Wednesday.
The resignation of the two commissioners came as an aftermath of Tuesday’s announcement of a minor cabinet reshuffle in the state by Governor Siminialayi Fubara.
In the exercise, the governor redeployed Kamalu to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment while Adangor was redeployed to the Ministry of Special Duties.
The duo reportedly loyalists of the FCT Minister who fell out with Fubara last year, according to Ripples Nigeria.
Kamalu submitted his resignation letter to the Secretary to the State Government on Wednesday evening.
He said: “Regrettably, the peace in government that we, citizens and residents of the state desire has remained out-of-reach.
“This has affected our ability to protect and defend the gains we made these past years. It is not the point of service that is important but the climate.
“Our present circumstance makes service delivery extremely challenging. Given this, I find it difficult to accept the redeployment; I do not accept it; I reject it.’’
