Court made final decision on motion to appeal PDP congress ruling by sacked executives

A Rivers State High Court, sitting in Port Harcourt has dismissed a motion on notice seeking leave to appeal as an interested party in the suit filed by William Fialasoika and 24 others against the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over the party’s congresses in the state.

The sacked PDP Rivers State Chairman, Chukwuemeka Aaron, had filed the motion on behalf of those purportedly elected as state executives.

Also included were Oye Fubara Igenewari, representing those elected as local government executives, and ThankGod Beke, representing ward executives

As interested parties, they asked the court for permission to appeal the ruling that removed them from office.

The PDP, the original suit’s respondent, has already appealed the decision that declared the congresses invalid, thus Justice Stephen Jumbo rejected the motion in his decision on Friday.

The PDP’s state, local, and ward executives, led by Aaron, were fired by the same court on January 13, 2025, under the presidence of Justice Jumbo, after the congresses that elected them were deemed invalid.
