APGA Suspends Governor Okorocha, Disbands State Executives

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has suspended the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, from the party for engaging in alleged anti-party activities. 

Rising from an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting Saturday in Abuja, the party said NEC unanimously decided to dissolve the Imo State chapter of the party’s executive, replacing it with a 21-man committee to be appointed to oversee the party until a new congress is held.

 “The NEC unanimously resolved to suspend with immediate effect the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okoroacha, from the party, for gross anti-party activities, bordering on his involvement with the All Progressives Congress (APC), contrary to the clear provisions of the APGA constitution.

 “The NEC also unanimously resolved to dissolve the Imo State executive committee of APGA with immediate effect. A 21-man caretaker committee shall be appointed to run the affairs of the party in Imo pending the conduct of state congress,” it said. 

The party approved APGA’s electoral guidelines for the state governorship primary election for the 2013 poll and  afterwards adjoined its sitting till August 31.
