Rivers State Exco: PDP Dumps Wike’s Loyalists 

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has  recognised the Hon. Nname Robinson Ewor-led Rivers State Executive as the authentic leadership of the party in Rivers State.

This is contained in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.

He said this was in deference to the judgement of the Rivers State High Court that nullified the Ward, Local Government and State Congresses of the party conducted on July 27, August 10 and August 31, 2024, respectively.

“Consequently, in line with the judgement of the Court delivered on Monday, January 13, 2025, the NWC affirms the Hon. Nname Robinson Ewor-led Rivers State Executive to henceforth pilot the affairs of the PDP Rivers State Chapter in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).

“The NWC commends the decision of the court which reaffirms the famed position of the PDP as the bastion of transparency in the due process of internal democracy and strict adherence to the Rule of Law and Party Guidelines in the conduct of Congresses and other activities.

“The NWC calls on all leaders, critical stakeholders, members and supporters of our Party in Rivers State and the nation to work with the Hon. Nname Robinson Ewor-led Rivers State Executive to ensure the unity, stability, growth and continuous success of the PDP in Rivers State.

“The NWC charges the Ewor-led Rivers State Executive to work hard to further unite the Party in the State so that the people of Rivers State can continue to enjoy the massive dividends of democracy as being delivered by our performing governor, Sir. Siminalayi Fubara, in line with the manifesto and policy thrust of the PDP,” it stated.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, police took over the PDP state secretariat on Aba Road in Port Harcourt following alleged moves by the sacked executive led by Aaron Chukwuemeka, who are loyal to Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to take over the secretariat in spite of the court ruling.
