Senator George Thompson Sekibo Decleared Winner Of The Rivers East Rerun Election.

OFFICIAL PRESS STATEMENT
RIVERS EAST ELECTORATES HAVE SPOKEN AGAIN.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared me duly elected with a massive 93,098 votes to the 34,193 votes scored by my closet rival Hon. Andrew Uchendu of the APC in the Rivers East Senatorial District Re-Run Election that took place last Saturday.

Senator Thompson George  Sekibo

The victory was made possible by the massive support and determination of the good people of Rivers East to defend their votes even in the face of unprecedented violence and palpable threat to their lives.
The electorate have demonstrated that power truly belongs to the people; and that they will always defend the mandate they have freely given to me. I am very grateful.

I sincerely thank all those who stood by me in this unwarranted and prolonged wait for the final results. I especially thank our youths, women, traditional rulers and political leaders particularly the State Governor, His Excellency Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike for his courageous leadership.

I wish however to express my sympathy to the victims of electoral violence perpetrated by undemocratic elements and pray that we shall not have any cause to walk this path of brigandage and impunity in our democratic process, a second time.


Long live Rivers East Senatorial District
Long live Rivers State
Long live Federal Republic of Nigeria.
SENATOR GEORGE THOMPSON SEKIBO CON, JP.
