 I've "sufficiently achieved" emergency rule mandate in Rivers State - Ibas




Rivers State Administrator, 

Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas (Rtd), has declared the mandate handed to him by President Bola Tinubu as "sufficiently achieved," following the successful restoration of democratic governance at the grassroots level.


Ibas made the declaration when 

the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC presented the report of the recently concluded local government elections to him at the Government House, Port Harcourt.


Vice Admiral Ibas stated that the peaceful conduct of the polls and the subsequent swearing-in of democratically elected chairmen and councillors across the 23 local government 

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

white paper in due course.
