Remember that Justice Adolphus Enebeli (retired), Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, announced 22 chairmanship candidates from the Action Peoples Party as winners in the local government elections held on October 5.

In Port Harcourt on Saturday, Justice Enebeli, who also acted as the Chief Electoral Commissioner for the election, declared that the candidates obtained a majority of valid votes in two-thirds of the wards within their respective local governments.

He added that the results for the chairmanship in Etche Local Government were withheld due to delays in collating data from its 19 wards, given the large size of the area.
