The Rivers State Civil Society Organisations (CSO) has strongly criticized the conduct of the state’s Sole Administrator, Retired Vice Admiral Ibok Ete-Ibas, describing his actions as “alarming and undemocratic.”
In a statement issued on Monday, CSO Chairman Enefa Georgewill pointed to the petition filed against the Port Harcourt branch chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and the retrieval of official vehicles from the Deputy Governor as troubling developments.
Georgewill further questioned the role of the Administrator’s wife, who recently addressed a gathering of women in the state, challenging her authority to represent either the government or the women of Rivers State.
He accused Ete-Ibas of overseeing a tenure marked by negative impacts on the state’s population and economy, while also expressing concern over the appointment and performance of local government administrators under his watch.
