Hours after the resignation of Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Zacchaeus Adangor, another commissioner, Isaac Kamalu, has quit the cabinet of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
As with Adangor, Kamalu in a letter to the Secretary to the Rivers State Government Tammy Danagogo, rejected his redeployment from the Finance Ministry to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment.
Kamalu cited absence of peace in Rivers State despite the peace pact by President Bola Tinubu last December. He said it is impossible for him to give his best in an atmosphere of rancour.
Fubara, on Tuesday, implemented a minor cabinet reshuffle in the State and moved Adangor to the Ministry of Special Duties (Governor’s Office), while Kamalu was moved to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment.
The government did not provide any reason for their redeployment.
Both commissioners, who are loyalists of former Governor 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).
However, they were reinstated as part of the peace agreement initiated by President Bola Tinubu.
