Without further ado, Rivers State Government will today (Sunday) swear in the 23 chairmen declared winners of Saturday’s Local Government Council elections.
This is consequent upon the successful conduct of the LG poll on Saturday that saw the proxy party of the state governor Actions People’s Party (APP) recorded a landslide victory.
The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) announced that APP won all 23 local government area chairmanship seats in the election.
The State Government also confirmed that the election has concluded, and it will swear in the winners today.
