Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has landed into another trouble as a nine-man Disciplinary Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State on Thursday, January 18, 2019 recommended that the governor be expelled from the party for engaging in anti-party activities.
The committee in a letter signed by the Chairman, Matthew Omeghara and Secretary, Kevin Ugwu, stated that;
“The committee has patiently and painstakingly listened to the overwhelming evidence of Prince Ikechukwu Unegbu, and examined all electronic and media materials tendered and admitted in evidence against His Excellency, Anayo Rochas Okorocha’s anti party activities and finds as follows: “That there are overwhelming evidence that are unchallengeable of anti-party activities by His Excellency, Rochas Okorocha.”
“That His Excellency was openly and brazenly, sponsoring, financing, campaigning for his son-in-law Uche Nwosu, who is the gubernatorial candidate of Action Alliance, AA”
“The actions of Okorocha contravened article 21 (A) i-vi of APC constitution (October 2014 as amended) punishable under article 21 D (i) (g). This is therefore the recommendation of the APC, Disciplinary Committee; that His Excellency, Anayo Rochas Okorocha, be expelled.”
“We arrived at this decision because the prosecutor called up his petition against His Excellency, Anayo Rochas Okorocha. The complainant is present while the respondent, His Excellency, Anayo Rochas Okorocha is absent. There is no letter on or on behalf of his Excellency explaining his absence”
