The Nigeria police on Monday stormed the national headquarters of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as both the embattled National Secretary of the party, Samuel Anyanwu and Ude Okoye, whom the Court of Appeal declared as the authentic National Secretary of the party are set to resume work today.

DAILY POST reports that both Anyanwu and Okoye are laying claim to the office of the national secretary of the PDP.

The ongoing rustle started after Anyanwu contested for the Imo State governorship election, an exercise he lost to the incumbent.

Upon his return to the party, Okoye who held sway while he was away, challenged his right to return to an office he vacated to contest for an election in his state.

The court had ruled in favour of Okoye and last week.

The PDP national working committee had acknowledged Okoye as the legally recognised National Secretary of the party, maintaining that the party has a high regard for the pronouncement of the Court of Appeal.

A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt on Monday sacked Chukwuemeka Aaron, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the state.

Chukwuemeka is a loyalist of the former governor of the state, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Justice Stephen Jumbo in his ruling nullified the PDP ward, local government and state congresses held in the state in July 2024.

The development is coming barely one month after another High Court nullified the ward, local government and state congresses of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, in the state.

The ruling sacked another Wike loyalist, Chief Tony Okocha, as the Rivers State chairman of the APC.

DAILY POST reports that the court’s decision to sack the PDP chairman followed a dispute over the legitimacy of the PDP congresses.

The congresses were conducted by a faction of the party loyal to Wike.

A State High Court presided over by Justice Charles Wali had on July 20, 2024, stopped the PDP from going ahead with the ward, local government and state congresses.
