Rivers State High Court has sacked the state chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, Chukwuemeka Aaron.
The court also declared null and void the positions of all purported LGA and Ward chairmen who emerged from the controversial congresses conducted by Pro-Wike supporters in 2024.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Stephen Jumbo ruled that the so-called ward, local government and state congresses had no legal standing and were invalid from the onset.
The ruling marks another major setback for the political protégés of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, where similarly last year, Tony Okocha, Rivers APC Chairman, was also sacked by the court, voiding his party’s congresses.
