In what could be described as a major twist in the PDP crisis in Rivers State, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has acknowledged and accepted the judgment of the Rivers State High Court, which nullified the party’s Ward, Local Government, and State Congresses conducted on July 27, August 10, and August 31, 2024, respectively.
A statement signed by the PDP national publicity secretary, Hon. Debo Ologunagba commended the court’s decision.
The statement further noted that the PDP is committed to transparency, internal democracy, and adherence to the rule of law in its operations.
According to the statement, it is in compliance with the court’s decision delivered on Monday, January 13, 2025, that the NWC has reinstated the Hon. Nname Robinson Ewor-led Rivers State Executive to oversee the affairs of the PDP in the state, under the party’s constitution.
Parts of the statement read:
“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.
“The NWC commends all members of the PDP in Rivers State for their steadfastness and unshaken belief in the ideals of the Party as a truly democratic and all-inclusive Party guided only by the collective Will, yearning and aspiration of the people.”
