THE chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party – PDP, in Rivers State, Chukwuemeka Aaron has been sacked.
He was sacked on Monday by Justice Stephen Jumbo of the Rivers State High Court, Port Harcourt.
In his ruling, Justice Jumbo 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.
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.
