Widow and Another Candidate Secure Rivers APC Assembly Tickets in Primaries

In Rivers State, the widow of a late lawmaker, Bulabari Loolo, and another candidate, Napoleon Ukala, clinched Rivers APC Assembly tickets in the primaries for Ahoada East Constituency II and Khana Constituency II respectively. The primaries were described as peaceful, reflecting the party's growth.

The state's political scene has seen shifts, with figures like former Governor Magnus Abe and Governor Siminalayi Fubara realigning with different factions. Nyesom Wike's influence and Bola Tinubu's support are shaping the political landscape.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct bye-elections to fill the vacant seats.
