The All Progressives Congress (APC) State Working Committee (SWC) in Anambra State has suspended the Secretary, Chukwuma Agufugo, for allegedly ridiculing the party.
The party, after its meeting yesterday at the secretariat, appointed Ifeanyichukwu Osegbo as the acting secretary.
Briefing reporters after the meeting, the acting Chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike, said that APC would no longer condone the behaviour of the former secretary.
He said the party acted, based on the recommendations of a committee it set up on November 28, which was given seven days to submit its report.
“We want to have a viable party that can win elections in Anambra State.
“We’ve have decided to set up a standing disciplinary committee to be inaugurated on Saturday, during the enlarged stakeholders meeting of our great party.
“Consequently, the then assistant secretary, Ifeanyichukwu Osegbo, has been made the new acting secretary.
“Very soon, we will have congresses to elect officers and set up congress awareness committee to put our house in order and to disabuse the minds of the people that the party has compiled names of the new exco,” Ejidike said.
Agufugo said Ejidike had no capacity to suspend anyone.
He said he should leave the party, as the leaders and caucus members of the APC would meet in Abuja on Friday to deliberate on how to move the party forward. (Nation)
