Faction in Abia PDP, Council Boss, Commissioner suspended over anti-party activities

Already, some of the members accused of anti-party activities have received the sledge hammer of the party.

The Transition Committee Chairman of Ukwa West L.G.A of the state, Chief Sylvanus Nwaji, and a Commissioner on the Board of Abia State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (ASOPADEC), Barr. Henry Chilaka were said to be among those suspended.

Speaking during a stakeholders' meeting of the PDP in Ukwa West L.G.A on Sunday, the party Chairman, Elder Dike Ogbonna, informed members that Chief S. U Nwaji and Barr. Chilaka had illegally summoned a party meeting without his knowledge, a development which he said was against the PDP constitution.

Citing the party's constitution, Ogbonna presented the summon for a meeting sent to him and other members of the party by the suspended members.

The PDP Chairman pointed out that the party's constitution stipulated that it is only the party Chairman that has the powers to summon the Local Government Area Congress.

Meanwhile, leaders and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ukwa West local government area of Abia State, have passed a vote of no confidence on the member representing Ukwa West state constituency in Abia House of Assembly, Hon. Godwin Adiele for alleged poor performance since assumption of office.

The party also in a statement on Sunday, revealed that it has resolved to kick-start the lawmakers recall process, saying that it would continue to hit its sledge hammer on any erring leaders and members of PDP in the state.
