Delta APC Expels Ojuogboh, PDP Suspends 9 Members

All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State has expelled one of its leaders in Ika South local government area, Chief Cairo Ojougboh.

Also, nine members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ndokwa East LGA have been suspended for anti-party activities in the just- concluded general elections in the state.

In a letter dated 27th March, 2023, signed by the chairman, Ika South local government chapter of the APC, Hilary Ifada Ibude, it said Ojuogboh was expelled from the party following a series of petitions and recommendations on his anti-party activities.

“On behalf of the All Progressives Congress Ika South local government chapter, I, Hon. Hilary Ifada Ibude, APC chairman, based on the petition before me and the various recommendations from different levels of the party on the anti-party activities orchestrated by Hon Cairo Ojuogboh. I hereby officially announce and approve the expulsion of Hon. Dr. Cairo Ojuogboh, from the AP with immediate effect”.

Similarly, in a letter dated 27th March, 2023, and addressed to the party chairman, Ndokwa East, the PDP said the actions of the suspended members contravened the laws of PDP.

The ward executive committee, said: “We the undersigned are members of the ward executive of our party, PDP, in Ward 1, Ndokwa east LGA

“The ward executive met on the 27th of March 2023, and x-rayed the activities of some members of the party before, during and after the 2023 general elections.

“The ward executive expressed dissatisfaction with some members of the party who were involved in anti-party activities, engaged in conducts that caused disaffection among members, engaged in conducts that disrupted the peaceful, lawful and efficient conduct of the business of the party, engaged in dishonest practices and disobeyed or neglected lawful activities of the party.

“In line with chapter 10 section 57 (3) of the constitution of PDP as amended in 2017, the following persons have been suspended from the party for a period of one month”.

Those suspended are Mr Ugo Nwokolo aka Overdo, Mr Theodore Obocha (SA to the Executive Governor), Chief Edward Olisenekusu (Board member Adult Education), Mr Frank Epku (youth Leader ward 1/ SA to the executive Governor).

Others include Mrs Anna Edi (woman leader ward 1), Mr Christian Ebisue Ashibudike (special adviser to the governor), Mr Chinedu Orlunwa (treasurer ward 1), Chief Kingsley Okoh (aka uncle kay ward liaison officer), Mr Rechard Obiazue (immediate past supervisory Councillor).

However, when contacted, Ojuogboh said the problem was that Omo-Agege hijacked the party at the state level and it was their determination to take back the APC and return it to the people that informed his alleged expulsion.
