Court Sacks Tony Okocha Again, Nullifies APC Congresses in Rivers

Tony Okocha of the Rivers State All Progressives Congress, APC, has been sacked again by a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, as the State Chairman of the party. The Court also invalidated the Local Government and State Congresses.

The Rivers State APC under the leadership of Okocha as supported by the Ganduje-led National Working Committee conducted the congresses in violation of a court order.

The National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje went ahead to inaugurate the new executives from the congresses on December 14 in further disobedience to the Court.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that the suit challenging the congresses was filed by some aggrieved party members who alleged that they were excluded from the process despite making the necessary payments.
