#TrackNigeria: The Imo State gubernatorial candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma has been expelled by the state chapter of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) for alleged anti-party activities.
The state chairman of the party, Daniel Nwafor made the disclosure Thursday, during a press briefing at the party secretariat in Owerri, the state capital.
Mr. Nwafor allegedly said that the APC governorship candidate is sponsoring opposition candidates against the party’s candidate in the state.
The party also accused Mr. Uzodinma of running a parallel exco in his ward by “issuing party cards without recourse of party excos”, adding that the expulsion became necessary in order to save the party from disintegration and electoral misfortunes.
“This is to inform you that the All Progressives Congress, Omuma Ward of Oru East Local Government Area in Imo State has expelled Senator Hope Uzodinma from the party due to certain inordinate and anti-party activities perpetrated by him and his cohorts.
“The Imo State Working Committee of our great party has examined the processes and procedures of the sanction on Senator Hope Uzodinma by his Ward as affirmed by the Local Government organ of the party in Oru East.
“Conclusively, the State Working Committee satisfied with the procedures and decision of Omuma Ward, hereby affirm the expulsion order as well,” the statement reads.
