The Rivers State Commissioner for Housing, Mr. Marshal Uwom, on Monday resigned his appointment.
Uwom, who spoke with newsmen shortly after submitting his
resignation letter at Government House in Port Harcourt, said he was not
comfortable with the defection of the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, to the All Progressives Congress.
he said, “Series of recent developments, especially the decision of
my boss, Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, to dump the Peoples
Democratic Party for the All Progressives Congress formed the basis of
my decision to leave the cabinet.
“I am a man that fears God and I am also principled too. I belong
to the PDP and cannot continue to remain in the cabinet when my
principal has left to join another party.”
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. David Iyofor, who
spoke on the development, said it was Uwom’s choice to resign and wished
him well in his future endeavour.
“The man decided to leave the cabinet. That is his choice and we
wish him well in whatever he decides to do after,” Iyofor said in a
telephone interview.
