The All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected the Rivers State local government election and its outcome, insisting that no election was held in the state.

Despite opposition from the loyalists of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, the election was conducted on Saturday as directed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) announced that the Action Peoples Party (APP) secured 22 out of the 23 chairmanship positions in the October 5 poll.

However, the APC publicity secretary in Rivers State, Ikenga Chibike, described the election as a mirage and a “cooked-up result”.

He said the party decided to boycott the election to “obey the judgement from the Federal High Court, which barred the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, the Nigeria Police, the Department of State Services, DSS, and the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from going ahead with the election.”

Chibike added, “As far as APC is concerned in Rivers State, there was no election on Saturday, so if anybody is announcing anything, it is a cooked-up result.

“The law remains the law. It says that if RSIEC must conduct a proper election, it must follow the due process.

“The court had also declared that every action taken prior to this time is null and void. We are standing with that judgement so we did not participate.”
