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\u2019s presidential primary election that saw President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sweeping the poll with a total of 280,082 votes.<\/p>\n
Fubara, who served as the State Collation Officer for the primary election, said that\u00a0 while the APC had a total of 297,068 registered members, the number of those accredited\u00a0 for the election was\u00a0 280,082.<\/p>\n
According to him, all those accredited for the election,\u00a0 cast their ballot for Tinubu, leaving Stanley Osifo,\u00a0 his only opponent, with no votes.<\/p>\n
Fubara expressed delight at the peaceful and seamless process which he said was as a result of good planning by the party.<\/p>\n
“I feel that this process has recorded one of the most organised outings of our great\u00a0 party in\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
“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\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n
The governor said that\u00a0 while it was evident that President Tinubu defeated his opponent in the primary election in\u00a0 the State, the report would be sent to the APC headquarters in Abuja where the results will be formally declared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
