19-Year-Old APC Candidate Wins Councillorship Seat In Rivers, Becomes Youngest Councillor

Miss Aaue Samuel Olubari, a 19-year-old candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has made history by winning a councillorship seat in Rivers State.

The Rivers State Local Government elections were conducted on Saturday, August 30, 2025, across 6,866 polling units in 319 wards to elect local government chairpersons and councilors, replacing the council administrators appointed in April 2025.

The polls were held six months after the Supreme Court nullified the council elections conducted on October 5, 2024.

Announcing the results, the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) stated that the APC won 20 out of 23 local government areas, while the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) secured victories in Obio/Akpor, Ogba/Egbema/Ndon, and Port Harcourt City.

She was formally introduced to party leaders and stakeholders days before the election by the APC Khana Chairman, Hon. Barile Ebenezer, during a ward-to-ward sensitization campaign.
