Austin Umahi, the brother of Governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi, has rejected his appointment as the secretary of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

The younger brother of the Governor, made this revelation via a statement on Thursday in Abakaliki.

Umahi appreciated everyone who felicitated with him on the appointment.

“I am humbled by this show of love but regret to inform you that I declined the appointment.

“This is because it is best for job seekers, retired civil servants or anyone who loves the job.”

Umahi said considering his age and work experience, he is not in doubt of what he wants in life.

He has sent message of advice to anyone who’s interested in the position to approach the governor “to do the needful”.

“This is because to my knowledge, the position is still vacant,” Umahi said.

Austin Umahi had won the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary for Ebonyi South Senatorial District.

He later conceded to the state governor who did not clinch the party’s presidential ticket.

The party scheduled a re-run primary for July 31 in relation with a Federal High Court ruling against Dave Umahi.
