A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has nullified the sacking of the Emeka Beke-led executive of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State.
The Court presided over by Justice Sika Aprioku, on Monday afternoon ruled that the National Working Committee of the APC erred in dissolving an elected executive led by Emeka Beke.
Justice Aprioku stated that the APC NWC does not have the power to dissolve an elected executive of a state nor set up a caretaker committee when the tenure of the elected executive is still running.
The Court therefore sacked the Caretaker Committee of the party in the State led by Chief Tony Okocha and reinstated the Emeka Beke-led executive.
Justice Aprioku further barred Tony Okocha and members of the CTC from further parading as executives of the APC in Rivers State.
