 PORT HARCOURT – A Rivers State High Court sit­ting in Port Harcourt has dis­missed a motion for joinder in an appeal filed by sacked execu­tives of the People’s Democrat­ic Party (PDP) seeking a rever­sal of a judgment that nullified their election.



The PDP Executives are challenging the judgment, delivered on January 13, 2025, by Justice Stephen Jumbo, sacking the state, local govern­ment, and ward executives of the PDP led by Chukwuemeka Aaron.

The suit was filed by Wil­liam Fialasoika and 24 others against the PDP, challenging the validity of the party’s state congresses.

The court ruled in favour of the plaintiffs, nullifying the congresses and sacking the PDP executives.


Chukwuemeka Aaron, Oye Fubara Igenewari, and Thank­god Beke, who represented the sacked state, local government, and ward executives, respec­tively, filed a motion seeking leave to appeal the judgment as interested parties.


However, Justice Stephen Jumbo dismissed the motion, citing the PDP’s prior appeal against the judgment.
