The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Anambra State has suspended the party’s chieftain in the state, Chris Uba, for one month over alleged anti-party activities.
The PDP confirmed Uba’s suspension in a letter dated April 2, 2022, and addressed to the party’s National Chairman, Iyorcha Ayu.
One Linus Ukachukwu was also suspended for the same reason.
The letter signed by the party’s acting chairman in the state, Okey Asolo and the Publicity Secretary, Mr Nnamdi Nwangwu, was made available to journalists on Sunday.
The PDP leadership in Anambra accused the duo of working secretly with other political parties to ensure that the party goes into extinction in the state.
The letter read: “Re: Suspension of Chief Chris Uba and Chief Linus Ukachukwu from the PDP Anambra State chapter.
Arising from our executive committee meeting held on April 2, 2022, at the party’s secretariat, Anambra State and having thoroughly X-rayed the problems of the party and activities in respect of the forthcoming 2023 general election on further evaluation of the party’s electoral misfortunes in recent past viz-a-viz the anti-party activities and abuse of privileges of the above party members, who had previously caused unimaginable damages to the electoral fortunes and stability of our great party.
And to forestall their evil plans and that of their agents, the executive committee of Anambra State PDP in our meeting April 2, 2022, resolved to wit: That pursuant to sections 58(1) a-m and 59 of the constitution of PDP 2017 as amended, Chief Christian Uba and Chief Linus Ukachukwu are hereby suspended from the party in Anambra State for a period of 30 days with effect from April 2, 2022.”
