A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday sacked Chukwuemeka Aaron, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.
Chukwuemeka is a loyalist of the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.
Justice Stephen Jumbo in his ruling 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.
Charmingpro reports that the court’s decision to sack the PDP chairman followed a dispute over the legitimacy of the PDP congresses
