12 legislators win PDP primaries in Rivers
Twelve of the 32
members of the Rivers House of Assembly sailed through the PDP
primaries held on Jan. 5 in the 23 local government areas of the state.
The state chairman of the party, Godspower Ake, told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt that the remaining tickets were won by
other members of the party elected by their constituents. He said that
in spite of little misunderstandings and arguments at the polling
centres, the primaries were successfully held and candidates for the
party elected for the April election. He said the exercise in some
areas was cancelled and later held again. Returning officers for the
National Assembly primaries had been told not to favour anybody or rig
elections in their areas.
