FUBARA WINS AS COURT NULLIFIES RIVERS PDP CONGRESSES
Justice Stephen Jumbo of the Rivers State High Court has dealt a significant blow to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by Nyesom Wike, nullifying the Ward, Local Government Area, and State party congresses held in 2024. This ruling is a major setback for the party, which has been embroiled in internal conflicts and power struggles.

The court’s decision is a result of a dispute over the legitimacy of the congresses, which were conducted by the Wike-led faction of the party. The nullification of these congresses raises questions about the validity of the party’s leadership structure and the potential implications for future elections.
This development is not isolated, as the Rivers State High Court had previously invalidated the Local Government and State Congresses conducted by the Tony Okocha-led All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State. The APC congresses were held despite a court order, leading to the inauguration of new executives.
The nullification of the PDP congresses in Rivers State is likely to have far-reaching consequences for the party and its leadership. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the party will respond to this ruling and what implications it will have for future elections.
