The National Working Committee (NWC) of the United Progressives Party [UPP] has suspended the acting State Working Committee (SWC) of the party in Anambra State.
This was disclosed in a press release issued by the National Secretary of the party, Alhaji Sadeeq Masalla.
The statement reads in full:
The National Working Committee (NWC) of our great Party in an extraordinary meeting today Tuesday 15th August 2017, at the National Secretariat, Abuja, considered the report of an unfortunate rebellion by some misguided members of the acting State Working Committee (SWC) of our Party in Anambra State which was carried out through a press conference addressed by Dr. Sylvester Igwilo, the acting State Chairman of the Party.
The National Working Committee acting on behalf of the National Executive Committee (NEC) hereby dissolve with immediate effect the acting State Working Committee of the Party led by Dr. Sylvester Igwilo.
Mr. Ifeanyi Okonkwo, a member of the Party from Nnobi Ward 1, Idemili South Local Government Area, Anambra State, is also suspended from being a member of the Party for his culpability in the unfolding acts of rebellion against the leadership of the Party.
The Party shall put the necessary machinery in motion to get to the root of the rebellion with a view to identifying the actual culprits and their sponsors.
We wish to assure loyal members of our Party in Anambra State that no member who is innocent of this rebellion will suffer any sanction.
We assure the general public and members of our Party especially the already published delegates to the Governorship Primary Election scheduled to hold in Awka, Anambra State on Saturday 19th August 2017, shall proceed unhindered.
The suspension is coming regardless of the fact that the state gubernatorial election is already by the corner and the party surely needs all arsenals at its disposal to dismantle the stranglehold of the All Progressives Grand Alliance [APGA] on the state.
The questions on the lips of everyone is:
“What’s happening to the UPP?”
“Has the UPP gone to the highest bidder?”
“Why did they Chief Ifeanyichukwu Okonkwo?”
Details of these and many will be buttressed in the subsequent SPECIAL REPORT.
Stay tuned…
