The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expelled a former councilor representing the Obio/Akpor legislative council of Rivers State, Hon. Achor Nna.

According to a letter signed by the PDP Ward 9 Chairman in Obio/Akpor LGA, Collins Chukwu and dated March 9, 2024, Nna was accused of failing to defend himself from allegations of misappropriation and misconduct while in office.

reports that the development is coming barely three days after Nna resigned his position as councilor and declared support for the sitting governor, Siminalayi Fubara. The suspension letter reads, “The Ward 9 PDP executive under the able Chairmanship of Chukwu Collins Wobo, JP on the 10th day of February 2024 received from the Elioparanwo PDP chapter the suspension of Hon Achor Nna the former leader of OBIO/AKPOR LGA council legislative arm.

reports that the lawmaker's resignation and subsequent sack from the party may not be unconnected to the political crisis rocking the state. Fubara and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have been fighting over the control of the state.
