In a significant administrative development, Goodluck M. Iheamnacho, the Sole Administrator of Ahoada East Local Government Area (LGA) in Rivers State, has officially tendered his resignation. In a letter dated June 20, 2025, and addressed to the Government House in Port Harcourt, Iheamnacho communicated his decision to step down from his role in public office.
According to the resignation letter, the administrator is stepping away from his public service duties to return to the private sector—a move that underscores the fluid nature of public and private sector transitions among Nigerian leaders.
“I humbly write to your noble office to convey to you my resignation…,” Iheamnacho stated, emphasizing that his decision is rooted in personal career considerations. Despite the short tenure—having served from April 11, 2025, to July 20, 2025—he expressed deep gratitude to the Rivers State Government and the people of Ahoada East for the opportunity to serve.
His brief time in office, though just over three months, reflects a period marked by a willingness to serve and a respectful conclusion to public duty. In an era where public resignations are often clouded by controversy, Iheamnacho’s graceful and transparent exit stands out.
The resignation also highlights the importance of civic duty and accountability, showing that leadership isn\'t just about entering office—it’s also about knowing when to leave, and doing so with dignity.
As the Ahoada East LGA prepares for its next chapter, the departure of Goodluck M. Iheamnacho may serve as a reminder of the evolving dynamics in local governance and the essential bridge between public service and private ambition.
