Eleven House of Representatives aspirants in Rivers State, including the Speaker of the state assembly, Martins Amaewhule, have secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket to contest the forthcoming election, according to reports from Daily Post.
The primaries, held on May 16, 2026, saw Amaewhule and 10 other loyalists of former Governor Nyesom Wike emerge victorious. The full list of winners includes: Martins Amaewhule (Obio/Akpor), Dumnamene Dekor (Khana/Gokana), and others whose names were verified from party sources.
This development is seen as a significant boost for the Wike faction within the APC in Rivers State, as they prepare for the general elections. The party has urged unity among all aspirants to ensure victory at the polls.
