President Bola Tinubu has recorded a landslide victory in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary election in Rivers State, polling all the votes cast across the 23 local government areas.
Announcing the results on Saturday 23 May 2026, Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who served as the State Coordinator and Collation Officer for the exercise, described the process as smooth and well-coordinated.
Governor Fubara while commending party officials and stakeholders for their efforts in ensuring a hitch-free primary across the state, attributed the success to proper planning and effective coordination by party leaders.
