APC declares Rivers primaries winners, including Wike allies and House of Reps speaker

The All Progressives Congress (APC) declares winners in its Rivers State primaries for House of Representatives tickets, naming allies of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike among those who receive nominations for the 2027 elections. Multiple sources report that the APC’s primary process results in the selection of key figures aligned with Wike as candidates for federal legislative seats in Rivers.

A central figure in the reports is Rivers State Assembly Speaker Martin Amaewhule, who is described as emerging unopposed in Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency I and securing the APC ticket for the House of Representatives. The outlets also state that the APC announces additional winners tied to Wike’s political circle for other federal constituencies in the state.

While both reports focus on APC declarations and the individuals nominated, they do not provide extensive details on vote counts or the presence of challengers beyond Amaewhule’s unopposed outcome. The reports present the APC’s declarations as the party’s official outcomes for the Rivers primaries and candidate selection for the House of Representatives.
