Tension in Rivers State as Factional Acting PDP Chairman Led by Robinson Ewor Set to Take Over Party Secretariat
A tense atmosphere has enveloped Rivers State as Robinson Ewor, the newly appointed acting chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), prepares to take over the party’s secretariat. Ewor, who also chairs the Governing Council of Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic and serves as the Rivers West senatorial vice chairman of the Rivers State PDP, will pilot the affairs of the party alongside other newly appointed executives.
This development comes after a court ruling that sacked the previous leadership of the party in the state, which was loyal to Minister Nyesom Wike. The court’s decision led to the emergence of a factional leadership that has pledged allegiance to Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
Police Deployment to Maintain Law and Order
To maintain law and order, police officers have been deployed to the Rivers State PDP Secretariat ahead of the official handover to Ewor’s leadership. The situation is being closely monitored, and it remains to be seen how events will unfold in the coming days.
The police deployment is aimed at preventing any potential clashes between supporters of the rival factions. The Rivers State Police Command has assured residents of the state that it is committed to maintaining peace and order.
