Rivers Court sacks pro-Wike Rivers PDP chairman

0

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday dealt a big blow to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike as it sacked Mr Chukwuemeka Aaron, chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the state.

The sacked chairman is a staunch loyalist of the former governor of the state who is presently locked in a protracted political battle with his erstwhile political godson and governor of the state, Sim Fubara.

The Court presided over by Justice Stephen Jumbo had nullified the PDP ward, local government and state congresses held in the state in July 2024.

The development is coming barely one month after another High Court nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

The ruling sacked another Wike loyalist, Chief Tony Okocha, as the Rivers State chairman of the APC.

The court’s decision to sack the PDP chairman followed a dispute over the legitimacy of the PDP congresses.

The congresses were conducted by a faction of the party loyal to Wike.

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 state congresses.
