The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Onicha-Olona ward 4,
Aniocha north LGA of Delta state has suspended Lauretta Onochie, chair of the
Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
In a letter dated March 20 and addressed to the chairperson
of the APC in Delta, the Onicha-Olona ward 4 exco accused Onochie, a former
presidential aide, of working against the party’s success during the general
election.
The 27-member exco said Onochie and her allies worked for
candidates in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“We have painstakingly reviewed the conduct of the just
concluded general election at all levels and have noted, with dismay, that
Lauretta Onochie, who is one of the leaders of our great party, worked against
the success of the party in Onicha-Olona ward 4 and beyond,” the letter read.
“Information
available to us shows very clearly that she was openly campaigning for the
candidates of the opposition parties, especially the Peoples Democratic Party,
in the run-up to the presidential and national assembly, as well as the
governorship and state house of assembly election.
“It was also observed that all her allies and supporters
were working for the PDP in the state.
“The evidence of this could be seen in the fact that the
party lost in her polling unit (unit 8, ward 4) in the presidential,
senatorial, house of representatives, governorship, and state assembly
elections.”
The exco said Onochie has also failed to fulfil her
financial obligation to the party or attended any ward or LGA meeting.
“In the light of these grievous infractions discovered in
her as stated in Article 21.2（i), (ii), we have lost confidence in her membership of the
party and hereby suspend her from the party with immediate effect,” the exco
said.
