Rivers: Wike’s man, Amaewhule wins APC primary for Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency

Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election and has been declared the party’s flag-bearer for the Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency.

Amaewhule is the current Speaker of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly.

He has been a member of the Rivers State House of Assembly since 2011, representing Obio-Akpor Constituency I.

He presides over the Assembly that attempted to impeach the governor of the state, Sim Fubara, on different occasions.

He is a diehard loyalist of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and is widely regarded as an ally of the former governor.
