Engr Charles Ugwu, the state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, has been placed on suspension.
The PDP Chairman of Ohaji Egbema Local Government Area and Chairman of all PDP Chairmen in the state, Hon. Emeka Alihe, moved for the suspension, which was made public on Tuesday. Hon. Godspower Apollos, the PDP Chairman of Owerri Municipality, backed the motion.
Not less than eighteen (18) additional Local Government Chairmen and members of the State Executive Committee (SEC) approved the move to suspend Ugwu.
Ugwu was reportedly suspended due to accusations of severe misconduct and disobedience.
Chidi Dike, the party’s zonal chairman for Okigwe, was named the party’s interim state chairman.
Aslo in a letter tagged, “Majority Resolution of Members of the State Executive Committee of Peoples Democratic Party, Imo state Chapter at Its Meeting passed vote of no confidence/suspension on Engr Charles Ugwu from Office Immediately as the Chairman, Imo State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party”.
The letter, which was signed by the party’s state secretary, Hon. Njaba Duruiheoma, and chieftain Emeka Alihe, demanded that Engr. Charles Ugwu be suspended from his position immediately.
According to him, the party chairman disregarded S. 21(3) of the Party Constitution by failing to call a meeting of the State Working Committee.
The party’s governorship candidate, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, was on thank-you visits to the twenty-seven (27) L.G.A. of the State, and Engr. Ugwu claimed he had no excuse for missing any of them.
They also drew attention to the fact that, in violation of S. 58(i)(e) of the Party Constitution, Engineer Ugwu did not attend the Owerri Municipal Council thank-you visit, which was held at the State Secretariat of the party, even though he had been formally informed of the trip.
A party chieftain, Hon John Diala who spoke to our correspondent stated, “his suspension would have come earlier but was kept till after election to avoid people reading negative meaning.”
