The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Wigbeke Ward II in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, yesterday, suspended a member of the Abakaliki Capital Territory Development Board (ACTDB), Chief Geoffrey Mgbada, for alleged anti part activities.

An aspirant into Ohaukwu North State Constituency, Chief Emeka Igwe was also suspended.

In a ten point letter of suspension signed by the PDP Ward Chairman of Wigbeke Ward II, Chief Clement Elom, the duo were accused of anti-party activities, including allegedly purchasing APC nomination form in Abuja.

Elom further alleged that the duo were suspended from the party at the ward level after critical stakeholders meeting and party executives where it was confirmed that Igwe and Mgbada were seen in APC office in Abuja negotiating switch, after the former lost the mock delegate election to Chinedu Awo.

Part of the letter of suspension reads “that you, Emeka Igwe, and Chief Geoffrey Mgbada having been accused of indulging in anti-party activities and your inability to absolve yourselves of the allegation, are hereby suspended from the party.

“You have also been suspended from our great party for your gross misconduct which includes but not limited to your disobedience to the guidelines of the party and disobedience to the leader of the party, His Excellency, Engr Chief David Umahi, and your insistence to run for the post of Ohaukwu North State Constituency against all odds, despite your loss to Chinedu Awo in the hotly contested mock delegate election conducted by the Governor himself.

“Having viewed your arrogance and disregards to the party and your constant attacks on the person of the Governor and leaders of the party in the state, we hereby suspend you, Emeka Igwe and Chief Geoffrey Mgbada from our party at the ward.

“The letter further alleged that the suspended members of the party also purchased the APC nomination form in Abuja to contest the election.

However, when contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Emmanuel Uzor, who also hails from the ward said he had not received the official letter of suspension of the duo, but confirmed they were suspended from the party at the ward for alleged anti-party activities.”

When contacted on the phone, the duo, Igwe and Mgbada, were unable to pick several calls put across to them.
