The Anambra State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has suspended Chris Uba and Linus Ukachukwu over alleged anti-party activities.

The suspension of the duo was contained in a letter written by the acting chairman of the PDP in the state, Comrade Okey Asolo and the Publicity Secretary, Mr Nnamdi Nwangwu, which was addressed to the National Chairman, Dr Iyorcha Ayu.

The letter stated that the PDP, as a dominant political party in the state “cannot be left at the whims and caprices of few individuals.”

Both Uba and Ukachukwu were accused of secretly working with other political parties to ensure that PDP go into extinction in the state.

The state executive members of the party noted that if the accused persons continue to be in the party, the party may not field any candidate for the 2023 general elections.

The letter was signed by the acting state Chairman, Comrade Okey Asolo and Publicity Secretary, Nnamdi Nwangwu, and dated April 2, 2022, and copied to the national chairman.
