THE All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State has expelled Okey Ogbodo and four others.
Chairman Ben Nwoye announced their expulsion at the swearing in of the caretaker committee.
Nwoye, who was returned as the caretaker chairman, said their expulsion followed their failure to withdraw their lawsuit against the party as directed by the National Executive Committee (NEC).
He said: “Acting on the directive of the party’s National Legal Adviser, we set up a disciplinary committee to investigate members found wanting.
“Deacon Okey Ogbodo and his cohorts – Chike Omeje, Rufus Nwagu, Rev. Onuorah Ani and Chinedu Okosisi – in disregard to NEC resolutions failed to withdraw their cases at the appellate court.”
