The Chief Election Officer of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Justice Adolphus Enebeli, made this known on Saturday evening in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

Some of the locals who spoke to journalists expressed their delight for the victory, saying that they were hopeful that it will end the oppression by some political actors hellbent on destabilising the state.

 

Recall that the PDP withdrew from the October 5 polls due to a deepening political rift between the camps of the State governor, Siminalayi Fubara and that of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

 

Reacting to the victory, the national chairman of APP, Barr. Uchenna Nnadi, expressed his gratitude to Rivers people for believing in the party and voting for the party despite attempts to secure court injunctions to stop the exercise.

 

He assured the Rivers people that APP was committed to liberating them from oppression and victimisation, and as well transform the LGAs.

 

Also, assuring that the party will bring positive change, Nnadi told the people that the elected chairmen would work for their overall wellbeing.

 

Nnadi said, “I’m happy and elated about the landslide victory. I thank God and I thank Rivers people for believing in the Action People’s Party, APP, despite attempts by some selfish individuals who are obsessed with holding on to power that don’t belong to them.

 

“Their attempts to secure baseless court injunctions failed woefully, Rivers people have spoken. And like I assured you before the election day, A vote for APP will end political oppression in Rivers State, I thereby welcome all party faithfuls. Let’s get work and give the Rivers Local government the positive change they are yearning for.”
