Governor Fubara to Swear in Newly Elected Local Government Chairmen Today
Governor Sim Fubara of Rivers State is set to officiate the swearing-in ceremony for the newly elected local government chairmen today, Sunday, October 6, 2024.
The event will take place at the Executive Council Chambers located within the Government House in Port Harcourt, beginning at 4:00 PM.
The announcement was made public through a statement by Tammy Danagogo, the Secretary to the State Government.
This ceremony marks an important milestone for local governance in the state, as it follows the recent local government elections conducted by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
In a significant outcome, the Action Peoples Party (APP) emerged victorious in 22 out of the 23 local government areas.
The impressive performance reflects the party’s stronghold and support within the region.
The official statement read: His Excellency, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, GSSRS, the Governor of Rivers State, will today swear in the newly elected Council Chairmen at the Executive Council Chambers, Government House, Port Harcourt, by 4:00 PM.
The newly elected chairmen are expected to arrive early, with each allowed to bring one guest, and should be seated by 3:30 PM to ensure a prompt start to the ceremony.
This event not only signifies a transition in local leadership but also presents an opportunity for the newly elected officials to outline their plans and commitments to their respective communities.
As they assume their roles, they will be tasked with addressing local issues and fostering development within the state.
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the outcome of the 2027 general elections will be based on the performance of candidates, not defections.
The party stressed that defections alone do not win elections, noting that credibility, leadership, and results matter more. This was said in response to comments credited to former governor Rauf Aregbesola.
The APC also dismissed claims that the opposition’s performance in Lagos weakened the party, pointing out that voters later reaffirmed their support by re-electing the APC in the governorship election and subsequent polls.
Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”
Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.
