*The Bamon's faction of the APP went to court yesterday and won.*
Their plea was that Bamon is the authentic chairman of the party in Rivers state and not Wokekoro.
They told the court that since Wokekoro isn't the state party's authentic chairman, the candidates he presented for the LGA election in the state are invalid because a mere usurper can not present candidates for election.
Now, emotional social media political giants, listen: Immediately Gov Sim Fubara lost the state's PDP structure to Wike, the most appropriate thing for him to do was to use another political party which he did. That would give him the entire 23 LGA chairmen in the state because we all know that SIEC in all states are extension of governors' office and no reasonable person expected Rivers to be an exception. And they shall remain so until a new law is passed to establish the Local Government Elections Commission which is already in the pipeline. But in choosing a party, he would have been extra vigilant and make sure that he picked a party that has no internal crisis at all.
As it is, except the ruling is vacated before tomorrow, Sim's LGA chairmen will not be able to get monthly allocations if he goes ahead with the election against the ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction and he has only himself to blame.
If you have the ability to be less emotional than objective, you will see that Sim dug this pit for himself.
