The Imo State chapter of the All Progressives
Congress was plunged into a fresh crisis on
Wednesday as a factional chairman of the party
in the state Chief Dan Nwafor announced the
indefinite suspension of the leader of the APC
National Working Committee-backed faction Chief
Marcellinus Nlemigbo.
Speaking at a press conference in Owerri, Nwafor
said Nlemigbo was suspended over alleged anti-
party activities.
He also alleged that the chairman of the caretaker
committee appointed by the NWC to replace his
executive had not attended APC meetings in his
Ezinihitte ward in Mbaitoli Local Government Area
of the state in the last one year.
Nwafor said the suspension followed due process.
He said, “It started from a letter of suspension
from his Ezinihitte Mbieri ward in Mbaitoli Local
Government Area of the state.”
He said the State Working Committee affirmed
Nlemigbo’s suspension in accordance with the
party’s constitution.
Describing members of the caretaker committee
as impostors, Nwafor said he would not be
distracted by the development.
He also said the party had commenced a
contempt proceeding against the National
Chairman of the party Adams Oshiomhole.
He said the suit was filed at the Federal High
Court, Abuja.
Nwafor, who accused Oshiomhole of working
against the success of the party, urged President
Muhammadu Buhari to monitor the activities of
the former Edo State governor.
He said Oshiomhole had no power to dissolve the
executive body he is leading and appoint a
caretaker committee because they were duly
elected.
Nwafor said the action was contemptuous
because there was an existing court judgement
barring Oshiomhole from dissolving his executive.
He said, “The National chairman had no power to
arbitrarily dissolve a duly elected APC executive in
Imo State and appoint a purported caretaker
committee.”
Nwafor also said the caretaker committee had no
power to summon Governor Rochas Okorocha and
five others to appear before a “purported
disciplinary committee”.
He said only his executive body had the right to
set up a disciplinary committee and ask anyone
to appear before it.
