Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has sworn in the newly elected council chairmen of the 23 local government areas.
The exercise was held on Sunday at the Executive Council Chamber of the Government House in Port Harcourt, the state capital, hours after the chairmen were issued certificates of return by the Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, Adolphus Enebeli.
After an exercise held amid heightened tension on Saturday, the Action Peoples Party won 22 out of 23 chairmanship positions, while the Action Alliance candidate won one seat.
