Court Nullifies Pro-Wike APC Congresses in Rivers
The Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt has nullified the Local Government and State Congresses organized by the Tony Okocha-led faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state. The court’s decision came after it found that the congresses were conducted in violation of a standing court order.
Despite the court’s directive, the new executives produced by the congresses were inaugurated on December 14 by the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje. This move further fueled tensions within the party.
The congresses were challenged in court by aggrieved party members who alleged they were excluded from participating in the process, even after fulfilling all financial requirements.
