Rivers LG Sole Administrator Resigns
The Sole Administrator for Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, Mr. Goodluck Iheamnacho, has resigned his appointment.
Iheamnacho resigned less than three months after being appointed by Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), the state’s Sole Administrator.
Ibas was appointed after the suspension of Governor Siminalaye Fubara by President Bola Tinubu on March 18, 20,25, upon the declaration of a state of emergency in the state.
Iheamnacho, who announced his resignation in a letter addressed to Ibas, premised his decision on his plan to return to private business.
Iheamnacho only spent 70 days in office, as he was appointed on April 9, 2025, and was officially sworn in on April 11.
He tendered his resignation on June 20, citing a personal decision to return to the private sector in a letter addressed to Ibas.
He said: “Sequel to the above subject matter; I humbly write to your noble office to convey to you my resignation as the administrator of Ahoada-East LGA. My decision is informed by my desire to return back to the private sector.
“My sincere gratitude goes to the government of Rivers State and the good people of Ahoada-East for finding me worthy to serve as administrator of Ahoada-East LGA from April 11, 2025 to June 20, 2025.”
Iheamnacho was among the 23 sole administrators appointed to oversee local government councils following the expiration of the tenures of the elected council chairmen.
