Port Harcourt, Rivers state - The Rivers Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members loyal to the minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, have described the state's local government election as an exercise in futility.

As reported by The Punch on Monday, October 7, the Rivers PDP members vowed to challenge the poll and its outcome in court.

The Wike camp said this as the Rivers governor, Siminalayi Fubara, swore in the newly elected council chairmen of the 23 local government areas (LGAs) of the state.

Recall Governor Fubara on Sunday, October 6, presided over the swearing-in ceremony for the newly elected chairpersons of the 23 local government councils in the state.
