Rivers LG Election: Wike Casts His Vote At Obia/Akpor LG

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, today cast his vote at Polling Unit 007, Ward 9 (Rumuepirikom Kingdom), Obia/Akpor LG, on Saturday.

Addressing journalists after casting his vote, Barr. Wike commended the people of the state for turning out in large numbers to participate in the ongoing local government election.

He said the reported low turnout of people in the commercial areas was not unusual, stressing that the residential areas was where the main actions took place.

According to him, “I want to thank RSIEC for carrying out a successful conduct of local government elections. Let me make it clear that this is a local government election and I expect particularly the media to have done their homework very well in knowing where the residential areas and commercial areas are.

“When you go to commercial areas, you don’t expect a large turnout of people but when you go to residential areas, of course, you expect people to turn out.

“This is my community, I can see the turn out of people in this particular unit, so it is in other units.

“But If you go to where you have commercial activities, you don’t expect much people,” he said.

He also hailed President Bola Tinubu for making sure that the election was conducted, saying; "since the Supreme Court has said there is nothing like caretaker committees in local governments, if there are no elected people, funds will not come from the Federation accounts to the local government accounts. So, if the emergency rule is lifted and there is no local government election, we will still have the same problem."

The Rivers LG elections held today months after the Supreme Court nullified the Local Government elections conducted by suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminialayi Fubara in October 2024.

It is crystal clear that the people of Rivers see Wike as a man of honor to whom they are loyal to.

That guy, chairman that was busy destroying everything Wike in this Local Government few months ago nko?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Great Lion of Ikwerre kingdom.

No doubt, His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) never made a mistake in adding the Great Wike to his political dynasty.

A informidable force to always reckon with. Talk about a man with humility and same time doggedness, you must certainly be referring to the Great Wike

He would have run to aba now. Small rat want to rub shoulder with an elephant. Just like that ugocheyere who left his imo constituency and making noise then. Fubara should be greatful to Tinubu who saved him from impeachment. Next time, he shouldn't listen to failed and fulstrated politicians. He was not calculative to fight Wike. He should have be patient and have control of important political elected personality in the state. I don't fan Wike but you will need to be strategic before you can defeat him, expecially when he still in power. Only Tinubu can do it to him and he will be humble. During when he was attacking buhari and APC, he keep saying he will never attack Tinubu and that he is a leader.

Rivers LG Election: Wike Casts His Vote At Obia/Akpor LG

Voting taking place under a state of emergency?
When every institution has been suspended. Are political parties recognised in a time like this?

Why are we still happy running the traditional system of voting. Instead of a computerized one

Who is gonna win Rivers state LG elections now? APC or PDP?

How will Wike be if Tinubu do not win 2027 election or if Tinubu do not use him again in 2027 ?

Nigeria is just an anyhow country because how are they voting when they refuse to let the state flourish

Pat081:

Tinubu can't dump him. He will rather give him another position.

Wike is really doing well in Abuja

This is a lesson for all. When two elephants are fighting, just be neutral.

Rivers state Governor General, he holds the yam and the knife,what ever him gives you is all you get.

... Our Nigeria politicians like the traditional system of voting..manual voting ..so that they can change and manipulate the election results to their favour and rig the election inorder to win election illegally.. our politicians will not approve electronic voting in which electronic voting where Nigerians votes will count and no manipulation of results and rigging can take place

I knew they were lying
Crazy clowns who love distorting the truth

Very funny country. The election conducted by a legitimately voted in governor is not valid , so how come the one conducted by a psuedo military government becomes legitimate.

Wike is a strong politician.Even Tinubu can't try to fight him.If he tries it he will loose his seat in Aso rock come 2027.
Mark my words.

How can a Sole Administrator conduct election in a state that is under emergency rule ?🤔
I know Seun Osewa and his tribal bigotry infested APC e-warriors will come and ban this post.
