Hours after the resignation of Rivers State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice Zacchaeus Adangor, another commissioner in the state, Isaac Kamalu, has resigned from the cabinet of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Kamalu, in a letter to the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Tammy Danagogo, on Wednesday, rejected his redeployment from the Finance Ministry to the Ministry of Employment Generation and Economic Empowerment.
Kamalu cited the absence of peace in Rivers State despite the peace pact by President Bola Tinubu last December, adding that he couldn’t give his best in an atmosphere of animosity.
On Tuesday, the governor implemented a minor cabinet reshuffle in the state. He 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 Rivers State Government did not provide a reason for their redeployment.
Both commissioners, loyalists of ex-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.
However, they were reinstated as part of the peace agreement initiated by President Bola Tinubu.
