Court nullifies APC congresses in Rivers

A Rivers State high court sitting in Port Harcourt has nullified the congresses of the All Progressives Congress in the state.

The court nullified the congress which produced Chief Tony Okocha, following a contempt of court proceeding filed by the camp of the reinstated chairman of the party in the state, Chief Emeka Beke.

The court had earlier issued an order stopping the conduct of the congresses in the state, but the APC went ahead to hold the exercise.

The embattled members of the party, who had secured the order, had returned to court, notifying it that the party had conducted the congresses despite the valid court order.

Justice Godswill Obomanu, after listening to the presentations and submissions of the counsel, nullified the congresses of the party.

Justice Obomanu expressed dismay at the party for going ahead with the congresses after a court had ordered that status quo be maintained in the matter.

He held that what the APC in the state did was trying to steal a match from the claimants.

The court stayed further proceedings in the matter and adjourned indefinitely.
