APC Publicity Secretary happy as party sweeps Rivers council polls

The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Mr Chris Finebone, said on Monday that the party was satisfied with the outcome of council polls held in the South-South state.
The APC won the 22 chairmanship seats and 297 of the 302 wards in the council election held on May 23.
The remaining wards were won by ADC in Etche ward 3, PPA in Ahoada West Ward 2 while SDP won in Ahoada East ward 4.
Finebone said in Port Harcourt that the election was credible, free and fair.
“ A total of 26 political parties took part in the election and we believe that the people have spoken through their votes,’’ he said.
The Publicity Secretary said the turnout of people on election day was an indication that the people wanted a change to elect their representatives at the grassroot level.
‘”The APC is satisfied with the outcome of the council polls in the state and we look forward to getting good governance from the elected officials,’’ he said.
