The headquarters of The Peoples Democratic Party Secretariat in Rivers State has been sealed off by men of The State Police Command on Thursday, this is on the heels of the ongoing leadership tussle in the party,

the special squad blocked the main entrance to the secretariat with a patrol van and restricted access to the premises, this disrupted traffic flow along the busy Aba Road, forcing motorists to maintain a single lane.

According to reports, the development was as a result of the appointment of Nname Robinson Ewor as Acting Chairman of the PDP in Rivers State after a Rivers State High Court nullified the tenure of Aaron Chukwuemeka and his executive committee.

Ewor while addressing party faithfuls declared that Chukwuemeka is no longer recognized as the state Chairman of the PDP:

“Chukwuemeka can now focus on his role as Chairman of the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI),” Ewor said, emphasizing that Governor Siminalayi Fubara remains the leader of the PDP in Rivers State by virtue of his office. He dismissed any insinuations that The Minister of The Federal Capital Territory, Nyesome Wike is still the Leader of the party in the state:

“Let it be clear: Governor Siminalayi Fubara is the leader of the PDP in Rivers State. Any claims otherwise should be disregarded.” He said.
