Ahead of the All Progressives Congress primary election scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2026, the aspiration of former House of Representatives member, Hon. Chief Solomon Ahwinahwi, has received a major boost following his endorsement by party executives across Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu local government areas.
Ahwinahwi, a former two-term member of the House of Representatives, secured the backing during a consultation tour to APC stakeholders and executives in Agbarho, Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu.
The tour began from his hometown, Agbarho, in Ughelli North Local Government Area, where he formally declared his intention to contest for the House of Representatives seat representing Ughelli North/Ughelli South/Udu Federal Constituency.
Addressing party executives and stakeholders during the visits, Ahwinahwi said the existing political rotation arrangement within the constituency favoured Ughelli North to produce the next representative.
He stated that his decision to return to the race was driven by his desire to continue serving the people through quality and inclusive representation.
The former lawmaker also expressed confidence that the APC would emerge victorious in the 2027 general elections, commending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for what he described as commendable performances deserving of second terms.
Ahwinahwi appealed to party executives to support his aspiration and help him secure the APC ticket in the forthcoming primaries.
In separate remarks, APC chairmen in Ughelli North, Ughelli South and Udu pledged their support for his ambition.
The APC Chairman in Udu Local Government Area, Evangelist David Siloko, noted that Ahwinahwi was the only aspirant seeking the House of Representatives seat who had visited members of his executive committee for consultation.
Also speaking, Chairman of Agbarho Ward 2, Chief Efe Olotu, who spoke on behalf of ward executives, assured the former lawmaker of their support and offered prayers for his success at the APC primaries.
