Enugu APC suspends Onyeama, Nnamani, others for anti-party activities

The Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama, and former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, for alleged anti-party activities.

The APC also expelled a former governor of Enugu State, Sullivan Chime, ex-Speaker of the state Assembly, Eugene Odoh, and a former Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), Osita Okechukwu, among other party chieftains.

This was made known by the APC Secretary in the state, Robert Ngwu, while speaking to journalists after the party’s executive council meeting in Enugu on Thursday, April 6.

Ngwu said the APC has audio, text, and video evidence to back the claim against Nnamani, adding that anti-party activities undermine the ability of a party to fulfill its role and harm the functioning of democracy.

He said: “The party is fully aware of the nefarious activities of the previous administration of the party in the 2015 and 2019 general election.

“With that in mind, the party reviewed various petitions and reports from the fact-finding committee and the disciplinary committee against some individuals.

“They are Sen. Ken Nnamani, Barr. Sullivan Chime, Hon. Geoffrey Onyeama, Hon. Eugene Odoh, Mr Osita Okechukwu, and others from their different local government areas.

“The petition bothered on anti-party activities and other offences against the APC constitution,” the party’s secretary stated.
