Police Take Control of Rivers PDP Secretariat Over Leadership Dispute

Amid ongoing leadership disagreements within the PDP, the Rivers State Police Command sent a tactical squad to seize control of the PDP Secretariat on Aba Road in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
Using a patrol van, the special squad blocked the secretariat’s main entrance and limited entry to the building. Additionally, the roadblock forced drivers to use a single lane on the congested Aba Road, disrupting traffic flow.
According to reports, the news comes after Nname Robinson Ewor was named the PDP’s acting chairman in Rivers State.
Following the nullification of Aaron Chukwuemeka’s and his executive committee’s tenure by a Rivers State High Court, Ewor rose to prominence.

Ewor told party members that Chukwuemeka was no longer accepted as the PDP’s state chairman.

Ewor emphasized that Governor Siminalayi Fubara is still the PDP’s leader in Rivers State by virtue of his position, but added that Chukwuemeka could now concentrate on his responsibilities as Chairman of the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI).

Ewor also denied that Nyesom Wike, the former governor and current minister of the Federal Capital Territory, still has a strong hold over the state PDP’s leadership.

To be clear, the PDP in Rivers State is led by Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “Any other claims should be ignored,” Ewor stated.
