Drama, as APC sneaks in to clinch Rivers

In a dramatic twist, Tuesday evening, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has clinched Rivers State as the party won the last two local government areas being awaited after the Collation Officer for the election had adjourned the announcement of results over an alleged threat to his life by some supporters of a political party.

However, after resumption of collation, the two awaited results were announced with the APC winning both.

Before the adjournment, results from 21 local government areas had been collated with the Labour Party in the lead. Results were expected from two local government areas – Obio-Akpor and Degema.

The two remaining LGAs are those of Governor Nyesom Wike and his Deputy, Ipalibo Banigo. While Wike hails from Obio-Akpor, his Deputy is from Degema LGA.

Prior to the final collation, the APC candidate had polled 148,979 votes, while the LP candidate polled 169,414 votes.

However, after reconvening, the results from Obio-Akpor and Degema councils came up and the figures changed drastically.

The final result saw Tinubu polling 231,593 votes while Obi got 175,555 votes.
