Abia SDP suspends 17 chapter Chairmen over Ikpeazu’s endorsement

The State working Committee of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has suspended all the chapter chairmen in the 17 local government areas of the state.

The State working committee chaired by the state chairman of the party, Hon. Chidi Nwosu announced their suspension at a press conference held at the party secretariat in Umuahia. He said the suspended 17 LG party chairmen placed their interest above and higher than interest of Abians by considering financial gains from other political party against the interest of our party.

He said the suspended Chairmen involved in the act have therefore been sanctioned by the party, adding that a seven man disciplinary committee has been set up to investigate the actions of the LG chairmen.

“That in the light of the above, the expanded SWC and in consultation with the national has suspended the chairmen,” he said.

He also announced the expulsion of one Mr. Chuks Abengowe for allegedly impersonating the Organising Secretary.

Meanwhile, the governorship candidate of the Social Democratic party in Abia state, Hon. Blessing Nwagba has said that at no time did she contemplated stepping down for anyone.

She said the tempo of her campaigns and resolve to lead the state has not reduced, describing herself as “more capable than Ikpeazu.”
