 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies.

 Rivers: PDP appoints interim leadership after court sacked state exco


Following the removal of Aaron Chukwuemeka as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State by a High Court on Monday, the party has appointed an interim leadership to stabilize its affairs.


On Monday, the state High Court presided over by Justice Stephen Jumbo, in a ruling on interlocutory injunction sought by Edwin Woko and three others, restrained Chukwuemeka and his state executives from parading themselves as executive members of the PDP in the state.


Woko and three others, all PDP members, challenged the congresses that produced Chukwuemeka’s executive committee.

They argued that the congresses violated an existing court order, rendering it illegal.


Justice Jumbo ruled that the purported ward, local government, and state congresses of the PDP lacked legal standing and were invalid from the outset.


The judge, therefore, nullified the congresses held on July 27, August 10, and August 31, 2024.


A State High Court presided over by Justice Charles Wali had on July 20, 2024, stopped the PDP from going ahead with the congresses.


Nname Robinson Ewor, the Chairman of the Governing Council of Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic and Rivers West Senatorial Vice Chairman of the PDP, emerged as the acting chairman.


In a statement obtained by newsmen on Wednesday, the PDP announced that Ewor will lead the party alongside newly appointed executives to address ongoing internal conflicts and power struggles.
