Rivers PDP chairman resigns after bagging appointment from Tinubu

Akawaor, a former Nigerian Ambassador to South Korea, emerged as Rivers PDP chairman in March 2020, succeeding Felix Obuah, and has occupied the position since then.

Chairman of the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Desmond Akawor, has resigned from his position after bagging a federal appointment from President Bola Tinubu.

The party chieftain explained that his resignation followed his nomination by the President as Federal Commissioner representing Rivers State at the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
