The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has won the presidential election in Rivers State, Igbere TV reports.
Igbere TV gathered that Mr Abubakar scored 473,971 to defeat President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress who had 150,710 votes.
The state collation officer, Enefiok Essien, declared the results on Tuesday evening, three days after the collation exercise started in Port Harcourt.
Igbere TV reports that the collation exercise ended in chaos as APC agents protested the deletion of the controversial Emohua Local Government Area results.
Out of the 23 LGAs in the state, Mr Abubakar won 14 while Mr Buhari took three after Emohua LGA was removed.
