River State Commissioner of Finance, Isaac Kamalu has resigned after he was redeployed to the Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment Ministry by Governor Simi Fubara.
Kamalu announced his resignation on Wednesday in a letter addressed to the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo.
He served as commissioner for Budget and Economics under former Governor Nyesom Wike and current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
Kamalu 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.
Similarly, Zacchaeus Adangor, Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the State, had resigned citing a similar issue.
