Ibok-Ete Ibas, sole administrator of Rivers, says he has fulfilled President Bola Tinubu’s mandate by returning the state to “full democratic governance”.
Ibas spoke on Friday at the government house in Port Harcourt during the presentation of a report on the LGA elections by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC).
On August 30, RSIEC conducted elections in 23 LGAs amid controversy over the legality of the sole administrator to oversee the democratic process.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) won the chairmanship seats in 20 LGAs, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) won three LGAs.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony, the sole administrator said the conduct of the polls shows that the president’s mandate has been “sufficiently achieved”.
Ibas said his administration would review the RSIEC report and issue an official government white paper.
