A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, on Monday, sacked Chukwuemeka Aaron, as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the State.
Chukwuemeka is a loyalist of the former Governor Nyesom Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Justice Stephen Jumbo, in his ruling, nullified the PDP ward, local government and State congresses held 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).
The ruling sacked another Wike’s 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.
