The immediate younger brother to Ebonyi state Governor, Mr Austin Umahi has rejected President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment as the Secretary of Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission. Umahi in a statement issued in Abakaliki, said that the appointment was good for job seeker or retired civil servant and not for his social status. He announced that anyone who’s interested in the position should contact the governor because as far as he is concerned, the position was still vacant. He said: “Let me deeply appreciate each and every one of you that sent his or her congratulatory message & numerous calls for my appointment as the RAMFC Secretary.
“I am honestly humbled by this show of love, however I regret to inform you that I declined the appointment because it is at best for job seekers or retired civil servant or better still anyone who loves the job and secondly, I am convinced that at my age and work experience it is not in doubt that I know what I want in life.” “Please if you are interested in the position do not hesitate to approach our indefatigable governor to do the needful because as far as I am concerned the position is still vacant. Thanks and God bless.”Austin Umahi who emerged the candidate of the All Progressives Congress withdrew from the race for Governor Umahi.
