There seem to be more troubles in the Anambra State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a group of the party loyal to Chris Uba, yesterday announced the suspension of the Acting State Chairman of the party, Mr Okey Asolo.
JOURNALIST101 reported last week that Asolo had suspended Chris Uba and Linus Ukachukwu from the party last week over alleged anti-party activities.
Reacting to Asolo’s suspension of Uba and Ukachukwu, the party’s leadership in his Ward 13 in Onitsha North local government area of the state, Mr Obinna Obialor and Mr Obinna Obichinyere, chairman and secretary of the party in the ward respectively, accused him of alleged violation of party constitution and other anti-party activities.
The suspension letter read in part: “Arising from a crucial meeting of the Ward Executive Committee held on April, 3, the PDP Ward 13 Onitsha North LGA of Anambra has suspended Okey Asolo.
“His suspension from the Ward is on account of his violation of the PDP constitution and anti-party activities.
“The suspension of Okey Asolo was anchored on the provisions of Article 58 (1) and 59 (1) and (2) of the PDP Constitution 2017 as amended.”
Similarly, Chairman of Onitsha North LGA of the party, Mr Alex Anah and secretary, Mr Chigbo Onyia, upheld the suspension of Asolo.
The leaders agreed that Asolo actually violated the provisions of the PDP Constitution 2017 as amended.
They said, “We uphold the said suspension and equally suspend him from the Onitsha North local government area PDP of Anambra State.”
