Rivers state ADC governorship candidate
Vice Chairman of Ijaw Youths Council (IYC), Abuja chapter, Mr. Tonte Ibraye, has emerged Rivers State governorship candidate on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for the 2023 general elections.
Out of 188 votes, Ibraye, who is an advocate for maternal, newborn, and child health, scored 187 votes to defeat Joyce Barida and Dr. Warmeth Wright in a primary election organised by the party in Port Harcourt, yesterday.
A representative of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Emmanuel Isong, who monitored the exercise, described it as free and fair.
Ibraye called for full implementation of the Electoral Act in all processes leading to the general election, especially the enforcement of the provision for electronic transmission of results during the poll.
Addressing the delegates, he said: “One thing I must tell you is that, you have made history today. It will no longer be business as usual.”
I believe some of you are aware some people will contest and they go to the ruling party to endorse them. I must assure you that I will not use your votes to trade with anyone.
“We will sustain the election till the end. If they try to rig the election, we will go to the international community to give them a visa ban. My mission in Rivers State is to invest in social protection, to better the lives of the productive population in the state.”
