Rivers State, Nigeria — A Fresh Page is Here, governorship candidate Warigbani Ezekiel Zebulun has declared, as he thanked the Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for their roles ahead of the 2027 election.
Zebulun made the declaration in a message to supporters and party members in Rivers State.
