He announced resignation on Wednesday in a letter to Governor Fubura and the Secretary to the Government, Tammy Danagogo.
Isaac Kamalu has quit his position as River State Commissioner of Finance after the reshuffling of cabinet carried out by governor Sim Fubara.
Kamalu, a loyalist of FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, resigned after he was redeployed to the Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment Ministry by Governor Simi Fubara.
He announced resignation on Wednesday in a letter to Governor Fubura and the Secretary to the Government, Tammy Danagogo.
In the letter, Kamalu did not hold back in voicing his dissatisfaction and rejection of his redeployment.
Kamalu, who served as commissioner for Budget and Economics under former Nyesom Wike and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, 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”, the letter reads.
Earlier, Within Nigeria reported that Zacchaeus Adangor, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the State, had resigned, citing a similar issue.
The developments come months after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu engineered a peace accord between Fubara and Wike amid an protracted political faceoff between the duo.
Recall that in the build-up to the Fubara and Wike crisis, Kamalu had resigned as commissioner but was reinstated in line with the peace pact
