The All Progressive Grand Alliance
has suspended Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State over alleged involvement in
anti-party activities.
Rising from an emergency
National Executive Council held on Saturday in Abuja, the party also dissolved
its Imo State chapter and resolved to appoint a 21-man committee to oversee its
affairs until a congress was done.
But when contacted, the former Special
Assistant (Media) to Governor Okorocha, Mr. Ebere Uzouka, said that he was “no
longer competent to comment on the issue because the governor has just
dissolved his cabinet which affected all of us.”
The National Vice-Chairman of APGA
(South-West), Tayo Sowunmi, who read out the communiqué of the NEC meeting,
also said the party leaders discussed preparations for the Anambra
gubernatorial election and approved guidelines for the exercise.
He said, “The NEC unanimously
resolved to suspend, with immediate effect, the Governor of Imo state, Rochas
Okoroacha, from the party for gross anti-party activities, bordering on his
involvement with the All Progressives Congress contrary to the clear provisions
of the APGA constitution.
“The NEC also unanimously resolved to
dissolve the Imo state executive committee of APGA with immediate effect. A
21-man caretaker committee shall be appointed to run the affairs of the party
in Imo pending the conduct of state congress.”
The party approved the party’s
electoral guidelines for the Anambra State governorship primary election for
2013 and afterwards adjoined its next sitting till August 31.
He also said the meeting was summoned
to prove that the party’s crisis had come to an end, adding that with the
return of peace among the key stakeholders, APGA would retain the governorship
seat come November 16 election.
