When the rivers sole administrator resigns only a few months into the job, it honestly looks like something is super wrong behind the scenes. I remember last year reading about how things have been tense in Rivers State, especially after the president declared a state of emergency and all these administrators were put in charge instead of elected officials. If one of them just up and leaves, saying he's going back to private business, but then there's stuff about him being threatened or not getting support, to me, that screams there’s drama with politics and community trust.

I feel like locals start to lose faith when government posts keep changing or people don’t stick around, you know? The fact that the police had to take over the council after he quit just makes it seem even more unstable. If the sole administrators can’t hang on for more than two months, it either means they’re under a lot of pressure, or nobody really trusts or supports them. So yeah, when the rivers sole administrator resigns, it pretty much puts a spotlight on how shaky things are with governance there. It’s honestly the kind of thing that makes people feel like their voices don’t matter because all the decisions are made way above their heads.
