Court-gavel (1)

A Rivers State High Court has nullified the controversial Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) congresses conducted in 2024 by party members loyal to the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike.

The court also sacked party chairman Hon. Chukwuemeka Aaron and declared null and void the positions of all purported LGA and Ward chairmen who emerged from the controversial congresses.

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.

This ruling marks another major setback for political protégés of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike. It follows a similar judgment last year when Chief Tony Okocha, Rivers APC Chairman, was also sacked by the court, voiding his party’s congress.
