The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has suspended Hon. Nname Ewor, the Caretaker Committee, CTC, Chairman in Rivers State, for aligning with the recently expelled Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
Ewor was suspended both as caretaker chairman and as a party member for actions deemed capable of undermining the PDP in the state.
Following the suspension, the CTC Secretary, Ogbam Ojimah, has assumed the role of Acting Chairman.
Ojimah stated that Ewor effectively resigned from his position through actions that contradicted the party’s stance on Wike.
Speaking after an emergency CTC meeting on Saturday, Ojimah reaffirmed the committee’s loyalty to the Turaki-led PDP and emphasized that Wike, having been expelled, has no authority to influence party affairs.
Ojimah said: “The Caretaker Committee of the PDP, Rivers State Chapter, after our meeting today, January 3, 2026, resolved to disassociate itself from the statements and public actions of Dr. Nname Robinson Ewor.
“It is important to remind the public that Hon. Ezebunwo Nyesom Wike has been expelled from the party and has no right to interfere in PDP affairs.
“Through his actions and statements, Dr. Ewor has voluntarily resigned as Caretaker Chairman.
“Consequently, the committee has formally suspended him as both Chairman and a member of the Rivers State PDP CTC. No dealings should be made with him in this capacity.
“The committee has unanimously appointed Secretary Ogbam Ojimah as Acting Chairman and Dr. Baribefu Fidunko as Acting Secretary.
“We remain committed to strengthening our party for competitive elections and effective service to the people under the leadership of Dr. Kabiru Turaki, the PDP National Chairman.”
