areas of the state

marked the direct fulfilment of the presidential directive issued to him on March 18, 2025.


He commended RSIEC

for organising what he described as a fair, credible, and transparent electoral process, which has been widely praised within and beyond the state.


Presenting the report, RSIEC Chairman, Dr. Mike Odey, described the election as a “historic achievement” for the state and the country. 


He said the document provides a full account of the entire process, from the initial notice of election to stakeholder engagements, polling, collation of results, and 

the final announcement of winners.


Dr. Odey also commended 

the people of Rivers State for their peaceful participation and cooperation throughout the exercise, praying for the continued progress and prosperity of the state.


Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas has stated that the Rivers State Government 

would meticulously review the report and issue an official government
