Speaking at the ceremony, RSIEC Chairman, Michael Odey, reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to due process and transparency in the conduct of the polls.
Some of the chairmen-elect, including Aboiya-a Bob-Fubara of Akuku-Toru Local Government Area and Onengiyeofori George of Asari-Toru Local Government Area, shared their plans for grassroots development.
“I will do my best to bring the necessary transformation to Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, projects that will impact my people positively,” Bob-Fubara stated.
On his part, George, who secured a second term, promised to consolidate on his previous achievements. “It’s my second term and I will continue in my works,” he said.
The swearing-in ceremony is expected to follow soon, after which the chairmen-elect will officially assume their duties at the third tier of government.
