He explained that the APC secured victories in 20 out of 23 local government areas in the recently concluded council elections but did not field candidates in Obio/Akpor, Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni, and Port Harcourt City. According to him, the decision was based on the party’s weak chances in those areas.

He also praised President Bola Tinubu and the National Working Committee for reviving the Rivers APC, describing the election outcome as a breakthrough for the party.
Looking ahead to 2027, Okocha expressed confidence that the APC in Rivers State will expand its support base and work towards securing a stronger mandate for President Tinubu’s re-election.
