Chukwudi Akasike, Port HarcourtA High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, on Wednesday annulled the congresses of the All Progressives Congress held in the state. The APC had gone ahead to hold the ward, local government, and state congresses in May despite a court order that the exercise should not hold. A new Chairman of the Rivers State APC, Mr. Ojukaye Amachree, had emerged through the process. Nwogu described as academic the cancellation of the state APC congress results held on May 5 and 12 and postponement of the same congresses to May 19, 20 and 21, 2018. He said it was wrong for the APC to disobey the court order, even as he recalled that the party attempted to no avail to lock the gate of the court.
