A 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 Rivers State.
The court ruled that the congresses, which led to the inauguration of new party executives on December 14 by APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, were conducted in defiance of an existing court order.
The case was brought forward by aggrieved party members who claimed they were unlawfully excluded from participating in the congresses, despite fulfilling all financial obligations required for the process.
