Abuja (Sundiata Post) – Despite two court rulings barring the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from holding ward congresses in Rivers State, the party defied the court orders and conducted congresses in various wards across the state on Saturday, July 27, 2024.
On Friday, July 26, 2024, a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt issued a restraining order against the PDP, its National Chairman, Iliya Umar Damagum, and National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.
The order prohibits the party and its representatives from holding ward, local government, and state congresses in Rivers State pending the hearing and determination of a suit filed by bona fide party members from various wards in the 23 local government areas of the state.
