The national working committee (NWC) of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) has disowned a letter announcing the suspension of Rochas
Okorocha, former governor of Imo.
A letter dated July 12, 2021, and signed in the name of Mai
Mala Buni and John Akpanudoedehe, national chairman and secretary of the APC
caretaker committee, respectively, noted that Okorocha has been suspended over
“anti-party activities”.
“This is to communicate to you, the National Working
Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Party ratification of
your suspension by the Imo State Chapter of our great party for anti-party
activities,” the letter addressed to Okorocha reads.
“The suspension follows after the recommendation by the Imo
State Disciplinary Committee set up to investigate allegations of gross
anti-party activities against you which is in line with Article 21 (B) I-VI of
our party’s constitution.”
However, according to Akpanudoedehe, the letter did not come
from the ruling party.
“It has come to the attention of the National Secretariat of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) that a fake letter of a purported
suspension of Senator Rochas Okorocha from the party is circulating in the
public space,” he said.
“Fifth columnists and forgers have obviously taken advantage
of the unfortunate and recent leaks of our official correspondences with the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to copy and paste forged
signatures of the CECPC Chaiman and Secretary on equally fake letters.
“The APC does not
currently have a “National Working Committee” as stated in the fake letter, but
a Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) which has been
saddled with the mandate to reposition, unite and strengthen our great party.”
He added that the letter “is a figment of the imagination of
fifth columnists”, and urged members to ignore it.
Okorocha has been at loggerheads with Hope Uzodimma, current governor of Imo, leading to altercations between government officials and supporters of the lawmaker.
