Suspension Of Nnamani, Chime, Onyeama, Others A Smokescreen – Nwoye

The immediate past chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, has described the ratification of the suspension of bigwigs of the party in the South East including himself, a former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, former governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, minister of foreign affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, among others as a smokescreen.

The Southeast leadership of the APC had announced the suspension of the chief whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, the director-general of Voice of Nigeria (VON) Osita Okechukwu, former speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Eugene Odoh, among others for alleged anti-party activities.

Nwoye, a federal Commissioner representing Southeast in the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) who reacted to the announcement of the suspension, said the purported ratification of what he described as non-existing suspensions which was announced by South East leadership of the party led by Dr. Ijeomah Aridiogu was an attempt to cover their anti- party activities during the 2023 general elections, stressing that it was a case of the kettle calling pot black.

He alleged that Aridiogu, the APC chairman in Enugu State Barrister Ugochukwu Agballa worked openly for the Labour Party in the South East Zone during the presidential and governorship election, adding that they were instrumental to the huge votes recorded by the Labour Party in the South East.

The former APC chairman maintained that in the first instance, there was no suspension that would have warranted ratification by the South East APC, noting that all those mentioned in the said publication were not suspended from their wards or local governments as stipulated by the APC Constitution, insisting that the laughable action is unknown to the law guiding the party which is the constitution.
