by Supreme Court To Deliver Judgement On PDP C’River Ward and Chapter Exco List Tomorrow
All is set for the apex court (Supreme Court) to deliver judgment on the ward and chapter exco list of the People’s Democratic Party PDP, tomorrow Wednesday, January 6th 2021.
Recall that the PDP in the state has been fractionalized after two lists emanated from the party congresses held to elect ward and chapter exco.
The two factions had the governor, Sen. Ben Ayade as leader while the other faction is led by National Assembly members from the state.
The National Working Committee NWC, had ratified the list that favoured National Assembly members and the exco sworn in virtually.
The faction of the governor had insisted that the governor being the leader of the party in the state must be the one to produce the ward and chapter exco list.
This however led to litigation. The matter was however decided in favour of the National Assembly members at both the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Dissatisfied with both the judgment of the two courts, the governor’s faction approached the supreme court.
The Lumine News can authoritative report that there seemed to be tension in both camps with many insinuating that the governor may decamp should he lost the ward and chapter exco list to the National Assembly members.
As the supreme delivers judgment tomorrow, it lay to rest which faction will handle the affairs of the party in the state.
