Wike’s Candidates Defeat Fubara’s Faction In APC Primaries
Hon. Napoleon Ukalikpe and Mrs. Bulabari Henrietta Loolo have won the APC primaries for the Ahoada East Constituency II and Khana Constituency II by-elections, scheduled for February 21 in Rivers State.
The candidates are reportedly the choices of former Governor Nyesom Wike, defeating other aspirants, including that of Governor Sim Fubara.
The primaries followed ward delegate congresses held on Sunday, January 25, 2026, in Ahoada East and Khana Local Government Areas to elect delegates who will vote in the party’s candidate selection process.
The congresses, described by party officials as peaceful and orderly, were monitored by observers from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies, with five delegates elected from each ward across both constituencies.
