In a dramatic ruling, the Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt has nullified the Local Government and State Congresses held by the Tony Okocha-led All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State.
The court found that the congresses were conducted in defiance of a previous court order. Despite this, the new executives from the congresses were inaugurated on December 14 by the National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The congresses were challenged in court by some party members who claimed they were unfairly excluded from the process, even after making the required payments.
