The faction of Imo state chapter
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, led by Daniel Nwafor, has said it has
commenced contempt proceedings against the National Chairman of APC, Adams
Oshiomole.
Nwafor made this known to
reporters in Owerri, at the party’s secretariat, adding that Oshiomole had
disregarded valid court judgment which affirmed him (Nwafor) the authentic
chairman of APC, in the state.
Nwafor further said that the
chapter’s Caretaker Committee Chairman, Marcellinus Nlemigbo, alongside the
committee set up by Oshiomhole, have been suspended forthwith.
The suspension letter he read was
said to have come from the APC Ezinihitte ward, signed by the ward chairman,
Henry Opara, Secretary, Clinton Gbamanti as well as the woman leader and youth
leader, Adaihuoma Ofeogbu and Dominic Lawrence respectively.
He said among other things
regarding the caretaker committee constituted by Oshiomole, “We have a court
order which has asked both parties to be in court on 24 of January. The order
is in different badges. The order is to come and convince the court why they
have to continue to disregard valid court judgment.
“I want to tell you that we have
a court judgment which has affirmed that we are the authentic executive members
of Imo APC. “At the federal court, we will understand why Mr Marcelenius
Nlemigbo and his cohorts will continue to parade themselves as executive having
been suspended from the party.
“We have also commenced contempt
proceedings against Adams Oshiomole, why he decided to disregard valid
judgement of an FCT, high court, we have nothing than to resort for help from
the court.
“We have commenced contempt
proceedings against Adams Oshiomole and hopefully and in the next days we will
make it public.
“In all this, we call on
President Muhammad Buhari, to checkmate Oshiomole because we have always
sounded it clear that Oshiomole’s activities are aimed at bringing defeat to
APC, in Imo state and the Southeast zone.”
On the reason for the suspension
of Oshiomole caretaker committee chairman, Nlemigbo, he read a letter from the
ward level to the executive of the party, “We write to inform you sir that
Marcellinus Nlemigbo has been suspended from all activities of the party due to
his anti-party activities.
“And his refusal to attend
several meetings aimed at discussing allegations against him. We urge you to
affirm the suspension having followed the due process in accordance with our
party constitution and policy.”
Nwafor added that the suspension
of Nlemigbo, had been, “affirmed by the local government chapter and State Working
Committee, SWC, of the party.”
