The Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Martin Amaewhule, has emerged victorious in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election, clinching the party’s nomination for the Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency seat.
Amaewhule, who has presided over the state legislature since 2011, represents Obio-Akpor Constituency I. He is currently the Speaker of the 10th Rivers State House of Assembly.
Under his leadership, the Assembly has made multiple attempts to impeach Governor Sim Fubara. Amaewhule is a staunch loyalist of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former governor of Rivers State.
