Fubara to swear in new Rivers LG chairmen today

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, will today swear in the newly elected council chairmen at the Executive Council Chambers, Government House, Port Harcourt, at 4 pm.

This follows the declaration of 22 chairmanship candidates of the Action Peoples Party as winners of the October 5, 2024 local government elections by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission.

“We are committed to ensuring that the will of the people is respected and that the new chairmen prioritize the welfare of their constituents,” said Governor Fubara.

The election was marred by violence in areas where suspected political thugs and some men in police uniforms wreaked havoc. However, the state police command has responded swiftly, visiting the scenes and collecting samples for investigation.
