Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, is leading significantly in the results of 15
local government areas so far announced by the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC).
The commission resumed collation of election results of 15
LGAs on Tuesday and Wike polled PDP: 426, 279 votes ahead of Biokpomabo Awara,
candidate of the African Alliance Congress (AAC), who garnered 129,855 vote,
leaving a margin of 296,424.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in the state, Obo
Effanga, said collation would continue by 10a.m. on Wednesday.
There are two more local government areas INEC is yet to
announce while supplementary election will hold across six LGAs on April 13.
Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, is supporting the AAC in the election since
internal crisis prevented the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers from
fielding candidates in the 2019 elections.
