Hundreds of supporters of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Governor Nyesom Wike took to the streets of Port Harcourt and its environs to celebrate his victory at the polls.

They gathered at the popular Polo Field in Port Harcourt to wine, drink and dance in celebration of the victory.

He polled a total of 886,264 votes to defeat his closest rival, former governor Rotimi Amaechi-backed Mr Biokpomabo Awara of AAC who polled 173,857 votes and won in only two Local Government Areas of Oyigbo and Akuku Toru.
