The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom state has
expelled Ita Enang, a former special adviser to the president, over “anti-party
activities”.
The expulsion follows recommendations from eastern ward 2 –
Enang’s ward – in Ibiono Ibom LGA of the state.
In a letter dated January 24, the state working committee of
the APC led by Stephen Ntukekpo, chairman of the party, ratified the ward’s
recommendations expelling him.
“The anti-party activities among others include his
indulgence with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Akwa Ibom State, and his
willful but unlawful disobedience of the directives of our great party, the
APC,” the letter reads.
“After a free and fair gubernatorial primary election
conducted by the party which he lost without showing a good spirit of
sportsmanship, Senator Ita Solomon Enang had engaged in endless litigation
against the candidate who won and the party.
“In the process, fully doing the bidding of the PDP to put a
clog in the wheel of our progress as a party. The clandestine meetings he holds
with the opposition party, the PDP, and after such meetings, drumming support
for them, are not without notice by his vigilant ward and chapter officers of
our great party.
“Consequently, I write on behalf of the state working
committee (SWC) to ratify the decision of the disciplinary committee of the All
Progressives Congress; that, Senator Ita Solomon Enang, be and is hereby
expelled from the All Progressives Congress.”
The development is coming a week after the appeal court
upheld Akanimo Udofia as the authentic candidate of the APC in Akwa Ibom.
Enang had challenged the primary election that produced
Udofia as the party’s gubernatorial candidate in the state.
The former senator argued that Udofia did not take part in
all phases of the governorship primary, hence is not a bona fide member.
