Enugu: APC suspends Agballah and others for anti-party activities

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Enugu state chapter, has suspended its state chairman, Chief Ugochukwu Agballah, and other executive members for alleged abuse of office.

The state spokesman, Chief Michael Ezeanyanwu, announced the suspension of the chairman and other members of the party’s state executive committee last Saturday in Enugu.

Ezeanyanwu said members of the Enugu State Executive Committee had passed a vote of no confidence in them because of their anti-party activities.

“We, the members of the State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress in Enugu State, hereby express no confidence in Chief Ugochukwu Agballah (State Chairman) and Chief Augustine Alumonah (State Deputy Chairman).

“The others are Mr. Jude Aniogbo (State Treasurer) and Mr. Emeka Eze (State Organisation Secretary) and they are hereby suspended from the party.

“Our decision is based on a series of cases of abuse of office, usurpation of power, the creation of parliamentary group executive committees and the unconstitutional removal of party executive committees.

“Others include inciting a crisis in the party, in some local governments, etc., committed by the said officials against the party,” he said.
