From Tai, the first LGA announced to 17th Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni LGA, none of closest trailing All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Tonye Cole, and Social Democratic Party (SDP) Sen Magnus Abe, has come near on the results as Fubara continues to increase the lead.
IT would take a miracle to swing the predictable victory for ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state to retain the governorship in the 2023 elections as its candidate, Sir Siminaliayi Fubara, has won all 17 Local Government Areas (LGAs) results released so far with 6 more to hit final results.
The State Returning Officer for the governorship in Rivers State, Prof Akpofure Rim-Ruke declared collation closed at the State Collation Center at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Rivers Office in Port Harcourt Sunday evening at the release of the 17th LGA, Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni LGA.
From Tai, the first LGA announced to 17th Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni LGA, none of closest trailing All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Tonye Cole, and Social Democratic Party (SDP) Sen Magnus Abe, has come near on the results as Fubara continues to increase the lead.
The results are however being released amidst fierce rejection and protests from party agents of opposition parties, particularly, SDP’s Salvation Moses who has called for cancellation of all the LGAs results except for Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni LGA, citing a number of irregularities including intimidation of opposition agents, carting away of election materials and conflict of figures between results being declared by the LGAs Collating Officers and what had been loaded on INEC’s IREV portal.
The State Returning Officer for the governorship in Rivers State, Prof Rim-Ruke in closing collation Sunday evening declared to resume the exercise Monday morning in the hope to conclude collation and declare the final standing and winner.
