The All Progressive Congress, APC, has suspended the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial Zone, Rochas Okorocha.

Okorocha’s suspension was conveyed in a letter signed by the Chairman of the party’s National Working Committee, Mai Mala Buni and Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoehehe.

He was suspended for gross anti-party activities.

The letter added that the former Governor of Imo State was suspended for allegedly insulting President Muhammadu Buhari in public, and for having secret meetings with opposition party members.

It read, “This is to communicate to you, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party ratification of your suspension by the Imo State Chapter of our great party for anti-party activities.

“The suspension follows after the recommendation by the Imo State Disciplinary Committee set up to investigate allegations of gross anti-party activities against you which is in line with Article 21 (B) I-VI of our party’s constitution.”

According to the APC NWC, Okorocha was found to be involved in “continuous discrete meetings with the opposition party both at state and national level; working in opposition to the APC-led government in Imo State, and flagrant public abuse on the person and office of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria (an APC-led government).

“Sundry outstanding disciplinary issues with the party at the State level.

“The party is committed towards the sustenance of democratic virtues/integrity and as such, finds these anti-party activities weighty enough to ratify your suspension from the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party.

“Subsequently, the National Working Committee (NWC) shall communicate any further change on your membership status of the party.”
