The All Progressive Congress, Ahiaukwu Ward 2, Umuahia South Local Government Area, Abia State, has suspended the state secretary of the party, Mr Chidi Avadja, for an alleged violation of their constitution.
A statement signed by the Acting Ward Chairman, Nwabueze Ndumele, and Secretary Ifeanyichukwu John and made available to our correspondent on Monday stated that the decision was reached after the ward meeting last Saturday at Okaiuga Civic Hall, Okwu Olokoro.
The statement also announced the suspension of another member of the party, identified as Onyekwere Sylvester, for alleged impersonation and set up a seven-man disciplinary committee to investigate the allegations against the two officials.
They accused the APC state secretary of allegedly hijacking the party by single-handedly appointing an acting ward chairman after the death of the ward chairman in disregard of Congress-elected party officials.
The statement said, “The party further resolved to suspend the state secretary, Chief Chidi Avajah, for violating Article 21, Section A, subsections ii, vi and vii of the constitution of our great party.
