APC suspends Sen. Okorocha over anti-party activities

 *The suspension not true - Another release

The Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo State over his anti-party activities.



This was contained in a letter made available to our correspondent which was endorsed by Governor Mai Mala Buni - the APC Chairman Caretaker Committee, and the party Secretary, John Akpanudoede today.


 

 
“This is to communicate to you, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party ratification of your suspension by the Imo State Chapter of our great party for anti-party activities,” the letter read.




“The suspension follows after the recommendation by the Imo State Disciplinary Committee set up to investigate allegations of gross anti-party activities against you which is in line with Article 21 (B) I-VI of our party’s constitution," parts of the letter read.






However, another release attributed to the same Senator John James Akpanudoedehe - the Secretary of   the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee  which was forwarded to our news platform for update few minutes ago, has stated as a falsehood the suspension of the Imo State former Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha.

The release read, "it has come to the attention of the National headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC)  that a fake letter of a  purported suspension of Distinguished Senator Rochas Okorocha from the party is circulating in the public space.

"I wish to categorically state that the APC has not issued such a letter and it is definitely the handiwork of mischievous elements who are jealous and unhappy that the party is waxing stronger as the leading political party in the country. It will not be distracted from its focus on the development of our country and enhancing the wellbeing of the citizenry.


"For the avoidance of any iota of doubt, Senator Rochas Okorocha is a full and active member of the party who contributed to its growth and progress and a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who was elected on the platform of the party.

"It is pertinent to call on those wishing to cause any misgivings in the APC to desist from their ill-intentioned circulation of fake Information because it is an exercise in futility."
