APC Presidential Primary: Fubara Commends Process, As Tinubu Sweeps Poll In Rivers

Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, has commended the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State over the outcome of last Saturday’s presidential primary election that saw President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sweeping the poll with a total of 280,082 votes.

Fubara, who served as the State Collation Officer for the primary election, said that  while the APC had a total of 297,068 registered members, the number of those accredited  for the election was  280,082.

According to him, all those accredited for the election,  cast their ballot for Tinubu, leaving Stanley Osifo,  his only opponent, with no votes.

Fubara expressed delight at the peaceful and seamless process which he said was as a result of good planning by the party.

“I feel that this process has recorded one of the most organised outings of our great  party in  recent times. The only reason it came out this way has to do with good planning. In all, I want to say that I’m really impressed with the process.

“So, I can say here that having taken time to go through the figures diligently, I, Siminalayi Fubara, who is standing as the State Collation  Officer, hereby certify that the information contained in my own spreadsheet represents the true, correct and accurate record of the summary of results from the 23 LGAs of Rivers State,” he said.

The governor said that  while it was evident that President Tinubu defeated his opponent in the primary election in  the State, the report would be sent to the APC headquarters in Abuja where the results will be formally declared.
