Passport Processing At Home
The recent Rivers State Local Government elections were highly eventful, with the Action People's Party (APP) dominating the polls, winning 22 out of the 23 available chairmanship seats. This significant victory highlights the APP’s growing influence in the region. However, the election was marred by controversies and violence. Reports surfaced about explosions near the secretariat of a faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC), hours before the elections commenced. This led to tensions rising across the state, with protests and election boycotts in some areas. The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) maintained that there would be no reversal of the election process, despite these disruptions. These incidents underscore the volatile political climate in Rivers State, with various political factions locked in fierce competition. This instability continues to challenge the electoral process in the region.
