Emelumba later disclosed that the sack was part of moves to rejig the cabinet.
However, the commissioner denied speculations that the removal was sequel to the controversies that followed the appointment of a Chief Judge for the state.
He said: “Honestly, I don’t want to speculate. All I know is that His Excellency, Hope Uzodimma, in his wisdom appoints his commissioners and removes them; when it is auspicious, he will give reasons.
