Power Shift in Rivers State: Fubara Supporters Absent from LG Polls
In the Rivers State local government elections, key supporters of Fubara, including Chief of Staff Edison Ehie and Secretary to the Government Tammy Danagogo, were notably absent from polling units. This absence was attributed to a perceived power shift away from the governor, with 23 former local government chairmen also boycotting the elections due to their removal by the Supreme Court.
A loyalist mentioned the need to abstain from the exercise, citing the governor's current status in the country. The absence of these key figures raised questions about the political dynamics within the state and their implications for the electoral process.
