A commissioner of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, Mrs Ibierenbo Evelyn Thompson, has resigned from office.

Thompson became the third RSIEC commissioner to resign in the last three days.

Prior to her resignation, Thompson was in charge of RSIEC Transport, Logistics and Stores unit.


In a letter addressed to the RSIEC chairman, Thompson said her decision was necessitated by the Supreme Court judgment which sacked all local government chairmen in the state.

The letter reads: “I write to formally resign my appointment as a Member of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission in charge of Transport, Logistics and Stores.

“This decision was necessitated by the recent judgment from the Supreme Court of Nigeria, which annulled the October 5, 2024 Local Government Council elections in Rivers State, and the subsequent developments within the State.

“I remain deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve, as well as the valuable experiences and insights gained during my tenure. I wish the Commission the very best.”
