BREAKING: APC Suspends Okorocha For ‘Abusing Buhari’

In a surprise move, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo State, from its National Working Committee (NWC).

The APC caretaker committee informed Okorocha of his suspension in a letter dated July 12, 2021, and signed by Mai Mala Buni and John Akpanudoedehe, who served as national chairman and secretary, respectively, of the party’s interim leadership.

According to the letter, the decision to suspend Okorocha, the senator representing Imo West, was in accordance with the decision of the state chapter of the party and resulted from the former governor’s involvement in “anti-party activities.” Okorocha was elected to the Senate in 2007.

He has also been accused of abusing the President of Nigeria’s person and office, which he denies.

Okorocha is addressed in a letter that says, “This is to inform you that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party has ratified your suspension by the Imo State Chapter of our great party for engaging in anti-party activities.”

In accordance with our party’s constitution, Article 21 (B) I-VI, the suspension was recommended by the Imo State Disciplinary Committee, which was established to investigate allegations of gross anti-party activities leveled against you.

“The following are the anti-party activities that were the basis for the investigation and subsequent suspension. Meetings with the opposition party on a continuous and discrete basis, both at the state and national levels.

“Violent public abuse of the President of the Republic of Nigeria (a government led by the All Progressives Congress) and his office.”
