Appeal Court judgment raises concern over APC participation in Rivers 2027 polls

A Court of Appeal judgment in Port Harcourt has raised concerns among APC members in Rivers State, potentially invalidating key party activities such as membership registration and primaries. Lawyer Sogbeye Eli warned that court decisions are binding until overturned by the Supreme Court, and the party may fail to field candidates in 2027. Former APC chieftain Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze said the ruling confirmed long-standing irregularities in party structures.
