Mr. Uzodinma Nwafor of the Action Alliance (AA) has been declared the winner of Chairman held which held on October 5 in the Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.

The Chairman of Rivers State Independent National Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Adolphus Enebeli, made the declaration on Sunday in Port Harcourt, the state capital.

He stated that the Action People’s Party (APP) clinched all the 19 councillorship positions in Etche LG.

Giving a breakdown of the councillorship election, the electoral body said the APP raked in 314 seats, the All Progressives Congress (APC) – 1, Boot – 1, Labour Party – 1, Social Democratic Party (SDP) – 1, Young Progressives Party (YPP) – 1.

He described the election as free, fair, and credible, despite all odds. According to him, polls were closed at 3 pm and recorded a large turnout of voters.

Enebeli saluted the patriotism of the residents who turned out to vote.

The declaration of the results was observed by members of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), chairmen of the state’s independent electoral bodies across the country, and members of the Nigerian Bar Association who acted as observers in the polls.

He said the commission “adopted the principle of bi-location because of the exigencies” they found themselves.

The results were announced at the Ministry of Justice Hall at the State Secretariat complex, rather than the Commission’s office on Aba Road.

Explosions, Protests, Gunshots
On election day, two explosions rocked the state. Police authorities confirmed that one of the incidents happened earlier on Saturday.

“The first explosion was reported at the APC Secretariat on Aba Road at approximately 3:00 am. A security guard reported hearing a loud bang and, upon investigation, observed three black Toyota Hilux vans speeding away from the scene,” the spokesperson of the Rivers State Police Command Grace Iringe-Koko said, adding that the incidents are being investigated.

“The explosion caused significant damage, destroying the gate and shattering the windows of the building. Additionally, the security building was set ablaze. The second explosion occurred at the Obio/Akpor Council secretariat around 3:30 am. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a black Toyota Hilux van and a white Toyota Sienna minivan drive past the secretariat.”

Gunshots were equally reported in some parts of Port Harcourt, the state capital. Some unidentified persons who rode in a black Toyota Corolla were spotted firing gunshots around the Wimpy area of the state which is a stone’s throw from the home of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike.

Some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had earlier in the week protested against the conduct of the election and had stormed the Department of State Security office and the Government House both in Port Harcourt to register their demand.

Lol

Another party won too, which means the election was free and fair. Nice one Fubara

Giving everyone their quota

Ok

The cleanest election in Nigerian history
No bias

Vineyard2:
Rivers people have shunned APC

And LP

Etche people are Igboß, they share common boundary with Imo state

nlfpmod

Fair sharing showing the Gov is neither greedy nor selfish

E don clear for wike eyes lol

Ebubu2:
Congrats Honorable Chairman Uzodimma Nwafor

And Gov of Imo state is Uzodimma and Nwafor is an average Igbo name

Who talk say Igbos are not indigenous in some parts of Rivers state? These are not settlers but ancestral owners of those lands right from time.


Congrats to Uzodimma Nwafor, winning whereas APC won ALL LGA in Benue yesterday, lost none. This shows RSIEC did a transparent, free, fair election, devoid of rigging, violence, intimidation, deaths.

Ensure you work hard to develop roads, drainage, healthcare, education, rural markets, rural motor parks, in your local government.

you forget to add Agricultural Development
It’s part of local government functions

Wike can't win election without violence

AI Politics!!!! Fubara rugged! No cap.

Elections in Nigeria are now very undemocratic. People rarely get on the seat through voting.

Although he is still loyal to the governor.

Rivers people have never been in bed with the demonic party.

Prof nonsense, how's d politics played?

His next work in line should be satisfying the monarchs and the market women.... successfully done, he will win his second year bid and become more powerful than that idiot

It seems Rivers is an Igbo community. Judging from names, culture etc

Y is rivers balkanized from d old Eastern Region?

I was even surprised to learn that Ondo was Igbo state before d division.

Even Lagos has about 50% Igbos... or more sef

My name is Ese P. Orunor, I am an Urhobo man, so am not supporting one sid.. I have an Igbo man working with me, a yoruba man as well and an Urhobo girl as secretary ... I am a neutral observer

Let me build your professional website for you, starting from 50k

Majority of the people saying they are not Igbos are the mischievous people we have in our society.
Just because of an imaginary boundary line. If eastern region should have their country, they should lockout all those who deny their Igboness.
They think those who hate the Igbos like them?
