A fresh wave of controversy has hit Rivers State following the unexpected resignation of the appointed Administrator of Ahoada East Local Government Area, Goodluck Ihemnacho.
Ihemnacho, one of the 23 LG administrators installed by the state’s Sole Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, made his exit known through a letter dated June 20, 2025, addressed to the Sole Administrator’s office.
The letter, which has since gone viral on social media, cites a return to private life as the reason for his departure.
In it, he expressed gratitude to the government and people of Ahoada East for the opportunity to serve.
He wrote, “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… from 11th day of April 2025 to 20th day of July 2025.”
His resignation has, however, triggered more questions than answers.
