Court Declares APC Congresses in Rivers Invalid.

The Rivers State High Court in Port Harcourt has declared the Local Government and State Congresses organized by the Tony Okocha-led All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State as null and void.

The APC, under Okocha’s leadership, held these congresses in contravention of a court order.

The newly elected officials from these congresses were inaugurated on December 14 by the National Chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Ganduje.

A lawsuit was filed by several party members who claimed they were excluded from the congresses even after fulfilling the required payment obligations.
