“The electoral materials arrived early even before the arrival of voters. You can also see security agents whose job is to ensure a peaceful atmosphere.”

On his impression about the election, he said:
“The process has been seamless and quiet. Nobody is being molested and so no one is complaining. People have come out in mass to vote for their candidates. And I think, I’m impressed with the turnout”, he said.

He used the medium to commend the Executive Governor of the State, Rt. Hon. Nyesom Wike on the massive achievements of his admission, describing him as a “Capacity Governor”, who has left notable footprints in the sands of time.

Meanwhile, our FamousReporters observed that the number one citizen of the state and PDP leader was no where to be found at his unit, in Obiakpo LGA.

It was, however, gathered from the electorates that the Governor had earlier driven past the polling unit and had promises to return to cast his vote, a promise that could scarcely see the light of the day.

Journalists from various stations were seen at some vantage positions, with a view to capturing the Governor but their expectations were met with a shocked disappointment, as they watched in almost an open-mouthed horror the PDP’s agent, High chief Evidence N. Owabie and representatives of Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission stuff the electoral materials in readiness for their departure, on the stroke of 2:30pm.
