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.
DAILY POST reports that 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.

Why is the former governor of Rivers State still , putting his face in the state afair
That is very good I don’t know the reason why those people were allowed to show some impact in state affairs I think the governor should have more right than the formal governors.
