Anti-Party: APGA Threatens To Suspend Soludo, Others

The National Working Committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance has declared its readiness to suspend the Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo, along with others involved in anti-party activities.

Addressing the media at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, the party’s National Chairman, Chief Edozie Njoku, accused Soludo of obstructing every effort by the Supreme Court-recognised NWC to restore harmony within the party while continuing his anti-party conduct.

Njoku further announced that on Thursday, 26th September 2024, the NWC will release the names of party members, including Soludo, who will be suspended for their involvement in anti-party activities.

On the off-cycle governorship election in the state, he emphasised that the party has not endorsed a sole candidate for the race, expressing skepticism regarding Soludo’s chances of securing the party’s nomination through the primaries.

He stated that anyone aspiring to become the governor of the state must participate in the primary process, which he assured would be fair and transparent.

He explained, “Just recently, about a week or two ago, we left the Court of Appeal, where an application was made to prevent my recognition by INEC, despite the Supreme Court’s clear ruling that my removal as National Chairman of APGA was unjustifiable.

“If you remember, just about a week ago or two weeks ago, we just left the Court of Appeal where a stay was applied at the Court of Appeal to stay me being recognized by INEC despite the fact that the Supreme Court said in their own words that the removal of Chief Edozie Njoku as national chairman of APGA is not justiceable.”
