A faction led by by Eze Madumere, the deputy governor, had organised the congress but Rochas Okorocha, the governor, who felt shut out said a fresh ward congress must be held.
On Friday, suspected thugs put fire on the building, located on Okigwe road in Owerri, the state capital.
The fire reportedly destroyed some files and document but it was later put out.
