Rivers State PDP Gets New Leadership as Court Sacks Exco
In a significant development, the Rivers State chapter of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has gotten a new leadership following a court decision that sacked the previous executive committee. Hon. Nname Robinson Ewor has emerged as the acting chairman of the party in the state.
Ewor, who is also the Chairman of the Governing Council of Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic and the Rivers West senatorial vice chairman of the Rivers State PDP, will pilot the affairs of the party alongside other newly appointed executives.
The new executives are expected to bring stability and leadership to the party, which has been plagued by internal conflicts and power struggles. The development is seen as a significant step towards repositioning the party ahead of future elections.

The new Rivers State PDP executive committee is composed of 17 members, including Ewor as the acting chairman and Dr. Field Nkor as the acting state secretary. Other members of the committee include:

Expectations from the New Leadership
The new leadership of the Rivers State PDP is expected to bring a new sense of purpose and direction to the party. With the party’s national convention scheduled to hold soon, the new executives will have to hit the ground running to ensure that the party is well-positioned to take advantage of the opportunities that the convention will present.
In addition, the new leadership will also have to work to reconcile the various factions within the party and to rebuild trust among party members. This will require strong leadership, strategic thinking, and a commitment to the values of the party.
As the new executives settle into their roles, party members and stakeholders will be watching with keen interest to see how they will perform. With the right leadership and a clear sense of direction, the Rivers State PDP can regain its position as a dominant force in the state’s politics.
