The All Progressives Congress (APC) has secured a landslide victory in the Rivers State local government elections, winning 20 of the 23 councils contested.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), despite being the ruling party in the state, managed to win only three local government areas. Governor Siminalayi Fubara also suffered a setback as his party lost in his Opobo-Nkoro council area to the APC.
Announcing the outcome on Sunday at the commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt, the Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Dr. Michael Odey, confirmed the results.
