Rivers State Commissioner for Finance, Mr Isaac Kamalu, has resigned his appointment on Wednesday.
He is the second commissioner to step aside from the cabinet on Wednesday after governor Siminialaye Fubara, reshuffled his cabinet on Tuesday.
Kamalu, who served as commissioner for Budget and Economics under former governor Nyesom Wike, revealed in a letter addressed to Fubara and the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo.
“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.
Though, his resignation is coming after Zacchaeus Adangor, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the State, had resigned, citing a similar issue.

Both commissioners, who are loyalists of Barrister Nyesom Wike, had previously resigned from their positions last December in the heat of the political crisis in the state and the rift between Fubara and his predecessor who is now the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
They were later reinstated as part of the peace agreement initiated by President Bola Tinubu.
