The primary, held on Saturday, was marred by controversy as three different candidates were declared winners, sparking confusion and disputes within the party.
Governor Hope Uzodimma, serving as the Chairman of the Electoral Committee, initially announced Dennis Idahosa as the victor. However, Stanley Ugboaja, acting as a returning officer, declared Monday Okpebholo as the winner. Further complicating matters, Ojo Babatunde, claiming to represent returning officers from all local governments, proclaimed Anamero Dekeri as the rightful winner.
Emwanta’s decision to resign from the APC stemmed from concerns over the integrity of the primary process, which he outlined in a letter addressed to the Ward Chairman of Ward 7, Egor Local Government Area. In the letter, Emwanta cited the lack of internal democracy within the party and expressed a loss of confidence in its leadership structure and political ethos.
Asserting his right to freedom of association, Emwanta declared his intention to become an independent political player, enabling him to support candidates based on their qualifications, integrity, and alignment with his values and beliefs.
He concluded the letter by formally resigning from the APC and requested the removal of his name from the party’s register at the ward level, signaling his departure from the party as he moves forward with his political endeavors.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has denied claims that he ordered the revocation of the licence of Rainbow Event Centre, which hosted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention on February 14, 2026.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Wike said the party should stop blaming him for its internal issues, insisting that the ADC is already heading towards political failure on its own.
The ADC had alleged that FCT authorities denied it access to venues for its convention and attempted to stop the use of the Rainbow Event Centre before the event eventually held there.
Reacting, Wike said investigations have already been launched into the matter and directed his Chief of Staff to identify any staff member involved in the alleged interference.
He stated: “We will not allow people to just wake up and say the FCT Minister did this or that. I have told my Chief of Staff to find out from the company which staff member interfered. We will get to the bottom of this.”
Meanwhile, Wike also commented on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s political ambitions, saying he would have to wait until 2031 to contest for the presidency.
He said there is “no space” for Atiku in 2027, adding that he could try again in 2031 when he would be 82 years old.
Wike made the remarks during an inspection of ongoing road projects in Kuje Area Council on Thursday, while also criticising Atiku’s repeated attacks on the current administration and insisting that President Bola Tinubu has performed better than previous leadership.

Cuppy said her perspective on relationships has changed with time, especially after her younger sister, Temi Otedola, got married to singer Mr Eazi.
She noted that she now prefers a simple and peaceful relationship, adding that she is no longer interested in complicated lifestyles or public attention.
She said: “I’ve dated all kinds of men, but now all I want is a simple 9–5 man with no social media. I once dated a bus driver I met on a dating app that I paid £400 to join.”
Cuppy has previously been in the public eye for her relationships, including her engagement to British boxer Ryan Taylor in 2022, which ended shortly after. She has also been linked to music executive Asa Asika.
