The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State has reportedly suspended the immediate past minister of Mines and Steel Development, Uche Ogah, and eight other members.
Their suspension was announced in a letter dated March 28, 2023, addressed to the party’s national chairman, Adamu Abdullahi, and was signed by the Abia State chairman and secretary of the party, Kingsley Ononogbu and Chidi Avaja, respectively.
Those suspended alongside Ogah are a former deputy governor of the state, Chris Akomas, Nkechi Nwaogu, Sam Onuigbo, and Sam Nkire.
Others are a former speaker of the state House of Assembly, Stanley Ohajuruka, the executive secretary of the National Land Development Agency, Paul Ikonne, Nyerere Anyim, and Nduka Anyanwu.
The Abia State chapter of the APC accused the suspended members of openly working for rival political parties, thereby undermining the major opposition party.
