Fubara isn’t smiling at Wike anymore, and his henchman, Chijioke Ihunwo, has stepped forward to challenge the long-serving Speaker, Martins Amaewhule, in Obio-Akpor Constituency 1.
After 16 years (4 terms) in the Assembly, pressure for change is mounting—and Ihunwo is positioning himself as that change. Having secured his nomination forms under APC, he’s confident of victory, sending a clear message that a new political battle line has been drawn in Obio-Akpor.
With Amaewhule yet to declare his next move and party alignment still uncertain, the contest is shaping up to be one of the most intense political showdowns in Rivers State.
The question now is: Will experience prevail, or will this “new dawn” narrative take over Obio-Akpor? 🔥
