The Imo State Working Committee, SWC, of All Progressives
Congress, APC, has petitioned National Working Committee, NWC, urging the party
to take appropriate disciplinary measures against Governor Rochas Okorocha over
alleged anti-party activities......
Okorocha Okorocha This was contained in a
release signed by the state’s APC Publicity Secretary, Mr. Nwabueze Oguchienti.
Oguchienti’s statement reads: “Pursuant to Article 21D (11) of the APC
constitution, the State Working Committee, SWC, has made appropriate
recommendations to the NWC of our great party to take adequate disciplinary
measures against the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Anayo Ethelbert Okorocha,
for engaging in various anti-party activities, which could lead to breakdown of
law and order in the State. “The party also stressed that it has noticed with
concern, the illegality being perpetrated by some elements in the party after
successful congresses in the state. Some of the elements, who are
impersonators, led by one Mr. Chris Ogoma recently appointed by Governor
Okorocha as acting chairman of the party, have been reportedly collecting items
from members of the party, particularly aspirants jostling to contest the
proposed local government area elections for forms for various elective
positions. “The party frowns on the development, as only the constituted
executive of the party led by the Chairman, Dr. Hillary Eke, is legally
permitted to handle such issues. “These elements, who are now impersonating the
office of the state chairman and other officers of our great party have been
defrauding our party members particularly aspirants to the proposed local government
area elections. The SWC, after an elaborate meeting resolved “that all
aspirants to the proposed local government elections are advised in their own
interest to deal only with the Dr. Hillary Ekeh led executive committee, which
is the duly elected and recognized Exco of our great party in the state. Any
dealings with any other person (s) is a nullity and of no effect. “It is our
position that such persons do so at their own risks. The state congresses have
come and gone and officers at the various levels have emerged and it should be
noted that only the political parties can sponsor candidates to an election.
“That all aspirants to the local government elections are further advised to
pay for their party Nomination Forms directly to Imo State APC account, warning
that no cash payment should be made to anybody.” In a bid to restore sanity in
the party, the SWC at the said meeting also suspended the following from the
party for anti-party activities and impersonation: Mr. Chris Ogoma, Mr. G Asika
and Mr. Obioma Ireagwu.
