Okorocha Can Only Be Suspended At Ward Level – Imo APC Replies Oshiomhole

Okeoma, Owerri

The Imo State chapter of the All
Progressives Congress on Saturday called on the National Chairman of the
party, Adams Oshiomhole, to tender his resignation letter for
suspending the governors of Imo and Ogun states.

At a press
conference in Owerri, the APC chairman in the state, Daniel Nwafor, said
that the suspension of Governors Rochas Okorocha and Ibikunle Amosun
was null and void.

Nwafor said that since Oshiomhole emerged the
national chairman of the ruling party, he had been disregarding the
constitution of the ruling party.

Saying that the state chapter
of the APC would not honour the “purported suspension” of Okorocha from
APC, Nwafor said that the former governor of Edo state had outlived his
usefulness in APC.

Describing Oshiomhole as a man who had no
respect for the rule of law, Nwafor said that the APC national chairman
was known for not obeying court orders and judgments.

According to Nwafor, the suspension of Okorocha did not follow due process.

He
said that according to the APC constitution, the suspension of any
member starts from the ward level and not from the National working
committee.

Nwafor said “I am here with the APC chairman from
Ogboko ward where the governor hails from. There was no letter from the
NWC to him to query the governor for any offence. The truth is that
Oshiomhole is a man who has no respect for rule of law. He has a
penchant for disobeying valid court judgments and orders.

“We
demand his immediate resignation from APC. Adams Oshiomhole has outlived
his usefulness in APC. As a party, we will not honour that purported
suspension. It is null and void and of no effect. Governor Rochas
Okorocha remains the leader of APC in Imo state.”

The state
chairman said that APC in the state had no governorship candidate, even
as he maintained that the APC governorship candidate in the state,
Senator Hope Uzodinma, was not known by the party.

He said that
available records by the party showed that Uzodinma was not a registered
member of APC in his ward in Oru East Local Government Area of the
state.
