Goodluck Iheamnacho, sole administrator of Ahoada east LGA in Rivers, has asked members of the public to disregard the letter stating that he had resigned his position.
Speaking in an interview with Nigeria Info 92.3
FM Port Harcourt, Iheamnacho said he is still the Ahoada east LGA
administrator.
In a resignation letter dated June 20 and addressed to
Ibok-Ete Ibas, the state’s sole administrator, Iheamnacho said he was leaving the position
to return to the private sector.
In the letter, Iheamnacho thanked the people of the LGA for
the opportunity to serve them.
The development came barely 70 days after Iheamnacho was
appointed as the administrator of Ahoada east LGA.
Hours after the resignation letter went viral, a video
showing a man resembling Iheamnacho being beaten by some men began trending
online.
In the video, Iheamnacho, while sitting on the ground, was
ordered by the men to sign the letters placed before him.
Narrating what transpired, the LGA administrator said he was
attacked in the office by hoodlums, who brought a letter for him to sign.
“I did not resign from my appointment as the sole
administrator of Ahoada-East,” he said.
“I was attacked in my office, and the letter they brought
was not signed by me. I know nothing about the letter.
“I want to tell members of the public that I did not resign
as the sole administrator of Ahoada East, and any other information aired is
null and void. I am still the sole administrator of Ahoada-East.”
In another interview with Nigeria Info 92.3 FM, Hector
Ekeakita, chief security officer of Ahoada east, insisted that Iheamnacho was
not attacked by thugs and that he had resigned his position.
Ekeakita said the youths came to the LGA secretariat to ask
Iheamnacho about how funds were being spent and why the environment is filthy.
“They (youths) said he should tell them why the LGA is
dirty. No staff come to work and he stays in Port Harcourt to administer his
administration,” he said.
“So the youths were angry and they blocked him, so with that
pressure he said he does not want to do it again.”
