Goodluck Ihemnacho
The administrator of the Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, Goodluck Ihemnacho, has resigned.
Ihemnacho is one of the administrators appointed by the state Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.), for the 23 LGAs of the state.
The resignation was contained in a letter dated June 20, 2025, addressed to the state sole administrator and obtained by our correspondent.
In the letter which has flooded the social media space, Ihemnacho said his resignation was informed by his desire to return to the private sector.
The resignation letter partly read, “I humbly write to your noble office to convey to you my resignation as the administrator, Ahoada East LGA.
“My sincere gratitude goes to the government of Rivers State and the good people of Ahoada East for finding me worthy to serve as Ahaoda East LGA from 11th day of April 2025 to 20th day of July 2025.”
Meanwhile there are speculations that Ihemnacho resigned to pave the way for him to contest the forth-coming LG elections in the state, though this has not been verified. (Daily Trust)
