A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, has sacked the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Hon. Chukwuemeka Aaron.
The court, presided over by Justice Stephen Jumbo, also nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the PDP in the state, held in July 2024.
The development is coming less than one month after another High Court nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the All Progressives Congress {APC), which produced Chief Tony Okocha as state chairman.
The court’s decision resulted from a dispute over the legitimacy of the congresses, which were conducted by a faction of the party loyal to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike.
Recall that a State High Court presided over by Justice Charles Wali, had on July 20, 2024, stopped the PDP from going ahead with the ward, local government and ward congresses.
