Following a State Executive meeting in Owerri, Ihejiagwa informed the press that the party’s leadership made the decision to suspend certain State Executive Committee members to maintain discipline among its ranks.

He explained that the suspensions were prompted by the members’ attempts to fabricate a fictitious crisis aimed at sowing discord within the party.

Additionally, the Chairman accused the suspended individuals of publicly discussing the party’s internal matters without first adhering to the procedures outlined in the party’s constitution, labeling this behavior as insubordination and a violation of the party’s core values.

To ensure a fair and transparent process, a five-member disciplinary committee has been established, chaired by the party’s first State Deputy Chairman, Queen Osuala, to investigate the allegations against the suspended members.

Among those suspended are the party’s State Secretary, Paulinus Udechukwu; Orlu Zonal Chairman, Charles Uzomba; Okigwe Zonal Chairman, Sunday Ike; and Owerri Zonal Chairman, Innocent Nwadavid.
