A chieftain of All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA in Abia State, Sir Chikwe Udensi has reacted to his suspension by the Rev. Augustine Ehiemere faction of the party, saying they are bunch of hoodlums thrown of APGA.
Speaking with ABN TV on Saturday, Sir Udensi said he is still an authentic member of APGA, describing Ehiemere and members of his exco as impostors
He said they are no more members of APGA and as such cannot suspend him, urging members of the public to ignore such claim.
He said one Prince Ukaegbu is the chairman of APGA in Abia and not Rev. Ehiemere as he claims.
Abia State chapter of All Progressive Grand Alliance APGA had announced the suspension of a Board of Trustees member of the party and factional governoship candidate in the state, Sir Chikwe Udensi.
The self-acclaimed Abia State factional chairman and secretary of the party, Rev. Augustine Ehiemere and Sir Sunday Onukwubiri in a statement on Friday said the suspension takes immediate effect pending the hearing and determination of his case by a disciplinary Committee set up by the party.
The suspension they said is pursuant to a resolution of the State Working Committee of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Abia State Chapter dated the 2° day of September, 2022,
The Secretary has been mandated to communicate this suspension notice to SIR CHIKWE UDENSI in writing which shall be delivered to him through his WhatSapp Mobile Phone number.
The party also called on the general public and relevant institutions to take “note of this development and desist forthwith from having any dealings with SIR CHIKWE UDENSI in his capacity as a member of APGA.”
They listed the reasons for suspension to include,
“a, By sponsoring and supporting one Prince Nnanna Ukaegbu who was suspended from the party by the National Leadership of the party in 2014 against the party in Abia State, thereby bringing the party to public odium.
