Despite the orgy of violence
across Rivers State, the
governorship candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Dr.
Dakuku Adol Peterside, is
maintaining a slight lead over his
Peoples Democratic Party rival,
Nyisom Wike, in the early
governorship results obtained
from the oil-rich state.
Results so far declared in some
polling units across the state on
Saturday evening showed that the
APC and the PDP earned victories
in their major areas.
The Director of Communications
for Peterside’s Greater Together
Campaign Organisation, Mrs. Ibim
Semenitari, said: “In Port Harcourt
Ward 018 Polling Unit 012, APC
scored 130, while PDP received 84
votes.
However in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni
Ward 003 PU 001, PDP scored 62
votes and APC recorded 41. In
Eleme Alode Ward 2, out of the 11
available polling units, APC won in
nine, while PDP secured victory in
two.
“The results await the
Independent National Electoral
Commission’s (INEC’s),
confirmation and announcement,”
Semenitari stated. www.thenationonlineng.net/new/peterside-leads-in-rivers/
