- Aaron, a loyalist of former governor of the State, Nyesom Wike, was sacked by the State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday.
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers state, Hon. Chukwuemeka Aaron, has been removed from his position.
Aaron, a loyalist of former governor of the State, Nyesom Wike, was sacked by the State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday.
The Court, presided over by Justice Stephen Jumbo, also ruled that the ward, local government and state congresses of the PDP held in the State in July 2024, are null and void, hence annulled.
The development is coming less than one month after another High Court invalidated the ward, local government and state congresses of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, which produced Chief Tony Okocha as State Chairman.
The court’s decision followed a dispute over the legitimacy of the PDP congresses, which were conducted by a faction of the party loyal to the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Chief Nyesom Wike.
Recall 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.
