    Court sacks pro-Wike Rivers PDP chairman – Ravenewsonline

    A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday, January 13, sacked Chukwuemeka Aaron, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.

    Chukwuemeka is a self-confessed 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 comes one month after another High Court in the state nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

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

    A State High Court presided over by Justice Charles Wali on July 20, 2024, stopped the PDP from going ahead with the ward, local government and state congresses.

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