A member of the House of Representatives, representing Ideato North South Federal Constituency, Hon. Ikenga Ugochinyere (PDP, Imo) has said that no congress of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was held in Rivers State at the weekend.
Ugochinyere said, rather the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike held a party with his friends, under the guise of a party congress.
The main opposition partys state congresses, took place at the weekend, and was marred by complaints from several states, including Rivers, Benue, Katsina, and Kogi.
In Rivers, the congress was held despite an existing court order preventing the process.
This has led to a dispute between the National Working Committee (NWC) that authorised the congress and the PDP Governors Forum, which asserted that Governor Siminalayi Fubara should remain the party leader in the state.
