Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Personnel of the Nigerian Police have taken control of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Secretariat on Aba Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.<\/p>\n

A tactical unit of the Rivers State Police Command deployed a special squad to the area, blocking a section of the road and the main entrance to the secretariat with a patrol van.<\/p>\n

The police have restricted access, preventing any individuals from entering the premises.<\/p>\n

The blockade has disrupted traffic flow, forcing motorists to use a single lane along the busy Aba Road.<\/p>\n

The development follows the emergence of a new leadership in the PDP in Rivers State.<\/p>\n

Nname Robinson Ewor was appointed Acting Chairman after a Rivers State High Court sacked Aaron Chukwuemeka and his executive committee.<\/p>\n

Addressing party members, Ewor stated that Chukwuemeka is no longer recognized as the PDP State Chairman but may continue as Chairman of the Grassroots Development Initiative, GDI.<\/p>\n

He reaffirmed that Governor Siminalayi Fubara remains the leader of the PDP in the state by virtue of his position as governor.<\/p>\n

Ewor also urged the public to disregard any claims suggesting that former Governor Nyesom Wike, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), is the leader of the party in Rivers State.<\/p>\n
