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.
Spiritual leader Primate Elijah Ayodele warns the APC against being too confident ahead of the 2027 election.
He shared “Overconfidence will kill APC; they will be too overconfident, and that will be the party’s weakness in the election. They will turn Tinubu to a demi-god, but it will make them lose the election. They believe money can do everything, but it will fail in the 2027 election,” Ayodele said.
Ayodele has repeatedly warned the APC not to assume that its current political strength will automatically translate into victory in 2027.
Politician Atiku Abubakar claims that President Bola Tinubu is 90 and says he can prove it.
He shared in a recent interview that he has evidence and can prove it, while also stating that he can serve Nigeria better and sharing how he has the qualities to be Nigeria’s leader.
“You have a President who is 90 years old now and sick and I am healthy and strong. So why won’t I make myself available to serve my country?”
“You went and voted for someone who is 80, I mean 90 years old. How old is President Bola, 90?”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose speaks on the upcoming election and shares that it has basically started now with who the people support.
While backing Peter Obi, he shared “2027 election campaign has officially kicked off. I’m happy because it’s time to take our country back. Recall that President Tinubu once told us that if he doesn’t provide electricity, we should not vote for him. APC is a failed government. Let’s start a door-to-door campaign for Mr Peter Obi. The (OK) ticket is all we want.”
He urged Nigerians to start showing their support and vote.
