A statement the party issued for their expulsion said it wielded the big stick against the two members, “following reports of acts of disobedience and negligence in carrying out lawful directives of the party, unrepentant as well as their un-remorseful attitude despite warnings for them to abide by the party’s constitution.”

The party warned other people engaging in such act to desist or face the full wrath of its constitution.

The suspended members react

Responding to the suspension, Oriaku in a chat with The Nation, said:

“APC has a process of disciplining members, who engage in anti-party activities.

“From the letter or mail, Oriaku was not accused of any tangible thing, just as he was not invited or written on any matter at all.

“His only crime is that he is in court over the authentic governorship candidate of the party in Abia State.”
