The All Progressives Congress (APC), Imo State chapter, Saturday, slammed an indefinite suspension on two errant members – Charles Amadi and Sylvester Obinna – over involvement in anti-party activities and for also failing to honour various invitations extended by the disciplinary committee of the party to them.
The Party has also announced the postponement of Local Governments Congress previously scheduled for Saturday for Monday, May 14, 2018.
A statement signed by the State party chairman, Hilary Eke, said the postponement of the LG Congress was as a result of series of violent attacks on the party secretariat and on officials by hoodlums he alleged were led by State government officials.
The statement read in part: “On Friday, the 5th of May, hoodlums led by some government functionaries attacked the party office, destroying everything in the state chairman’s office and carted away documents and other valuables.
“Subsequently, on Friday, 11th May, fire from strange source engulfed the state party office in broad daylight. However, the National Chairman of our party has advised that the LG Congress be shifted to Monday, May 14, 2018.”
In another development, Eke explained that the suspended memebers joined the party few months ago and that their activities have largely contributed in destabilizing the party in the State.
While Obinna had earlier been suspended by his ward for anti-party activities, Amadi is alleged to have been mobilising for the impeachment of the Deputy Governor of the state against party interests, with other sundry offences that bothered on working with other political parties to destabilise the APC in the State.
