It may seem as though the political landscape of Rivers State has undergone a shift on Saturday as the candidates of All People’s Party (APP) in the just concluded Local Government elections won 22 LGAs out of 23 in Rivers State.
GistReel reports that Governor Siminalayi Fubara earlier last month purportedly instructed all 23 local government chairmen in the state to participate in the elections under the banner of APP.
The elections which saw many setbacks were conducted on October 5 with the former governor, Nyesom Wike allegedly attempting to obstruct the process.
APP candidates were declared winners while collation is still ongoing in Etche Local Government Area.
The Chairman of RSIEC, Justice Adolphus Enebeli, made the declaration at the RSIEC office in Port Harcourt.
