Austin Umahi, the younger brother to the governor of Ebonyi State, David Umahi has rejected his appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari as the secretary of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).

He younger Umahi made this known in a statement on Thursday in Abakaliki.

He thanked everyone who congratulated 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 at his age and work experience, he is not in doubt of what he wants in life.

He advised anyone 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.
