Marshal Sokari Harry (died 5 March 2003) was a Nigerian politician. He was the former National Vice-chairman (South-South) of the All Nigeria People's Party, who was assassinated in Abuja in 2003 during the presidential elections. He was buried in Obuama, 40 kilometres South of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on 5 July 2003.[1]
Previous to his murder, Harry was the chairman of the Rivers State People's Democratic Party. He gave up his position that year after threatening to leave the party if the national executive of the party did not carry out fresh party congresses in the state.[2] He was welcomed into the ANPP soon thereafter.
Both his son, Inye Marshal Harry, and rebel leader Mujahid Dokubo-Asari of the Mujahid Dokubo-Asari accused several high-ranking government officials, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo (who in 2018 filed a defamation suit against journalist Akanda Oro, popularly known as Awikonko, for N1bn) and former Rivers State Governor Peter Odili, of conspiring for the murder of both Harry and former PDP chieftain Aminosoari Dikibo during the 2003 election.[3][4]
