Full list of winners of Rivers LG election as APP sweeps chairmanship seats

After many controversies before and during the election, the Action People’s Party (APP) has won 22 out of the 23 chairmanship seats in the local government election in Rivers State.

_____This victory comes on the heels of the defection of Caretaker Committee Chairmen loyal to Governor Fubara, from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APP.

……The mass defection was reportedly sparked by Fubara’s predecessor, Nyesom Wike’s alleged hijacking of the state PDP structure.

However, the Chief Electoral Officer, Adolphus Enebeli, made the announcement in Port Harcourt on Saturday night.

,,,,,According to reports, the result for Etche Local Government Area was delayed due to ongoing collation.
