APC Primaries: Ahwinahwi Gets Major Endorsements Across Ughelli Axis

Ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2026, the aspiration of Hon. Chief Solomon Ahwinahwi has received a major boost following his endorsement by local government and ward executive committees in Agbarho, Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu.

The endorsement came during a consultation tour by the former two-term member of the House of Representatives and his entourage, beginning from his hometown, Agbarho, in Ughelli North Local Government Area.

During the visit, Hon. Ahwinahwi formally informed party executives and stakeholders of his decision to contest for the House of Representatives seat for Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency.

The former federal lawmaker stated that, based on the existing political rotation arrangement within the constituency, it is the turn of Ughelli North to produce the next representative. He said his decision to contest was driven by his desire to continue serving the people.

Chief Ahwinahwi expressed confidence that the APC would record victory in the 2027 general elections, stressing that both President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sheriff Oborevwori have performed commendably and deserve re-election for a second term.
