In a recent statement, Rivers State governor Siminalayi Fubara urged eligible voters in Ahoada East and Khana Local Government Areas to participate actively in the upcoming bye-elections set for Saturday. This election will address vacant seats in the Rivers State House of Assembly, specifically in Ahoada East Constituency 2 and Khana Constituency 2. Governor Fubara emphasized the importance of voter turnout, labeling the election a 'family affair' and encouraging a collective effort to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates running for these positions.

The governor's message was delivered through a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Onwuka Nzeshi, highlighting his call for residents in these constituencies to engage with the electoral process. Fubara appealed not only for active participation but also for maintaining peace and order during the elections, expressing a desire for a law-abiding atmosphere that allows for a fair and democratic process. His comments indicate the government's focus on ensuring a smooth electoral exercise amidst the critical political landscape in the state.

The upcoming bye-elections are significant as they aim to fill legislative gaps in the Rivers State Assembly and reflect the political dynamics within the state. With the APC seeking to consolidate its influence, the success of the candidates in these constituencies could have broader implications for party strength and policy direction within Rivers State. Governor Fubara's push for voter support underscores the importance of these elections in shaping future governance and representation in the region.
