Kogi State PDP applauds Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s milestone in office
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State has celebrated the achievements of Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan as she marks her one-year anniversary in office. The party praised her dedication to transformative leadership and her efforts to uplift the lives of her constituents.
In a statement issued by the State Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Tijani Umoru, the PDP highlighted Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s commitment to good governance and the delivery of democratic dividends.
“Senator Natasha exemplifies the values of the PDP through her dedication to the welfare and development of her people,” said Tijani. “In just one year, her work has shown how effective representation can positively impact the lives of her constituents.”
Tijani described her as a “distinguished leader” who has brought meaningful changes to the Kogi Senatorial Zone. He noted that her service has reaffirmed the PDP’s role as a driver of progress and prosperity in Kogi State, adding that her leadership promises a new era of development for the entire state.
The party also expressed its confidence that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan’s efforts will continue to foster hope and progress across communities, reinforcing the party’s vision for a brighter future.
The PDP concluded its statement by reaffirming its commitment to democratic values and good governance, as well as its belief in a prosperous future for Kogi State under its leadership.
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for expelling House of Representatives member Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, accusing the party of being hypocritical and dysfunctional.
Adeyanju questioned the party’s decision to expel Ugochinyere for alleged indiscipline and anti-party activities while allowing Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, to remain a member despite his controversial actions.
In a post on X, Adeyanju stated, “Ikenga Ugochinyere, the courageous one, has been expelled for anti-party by APC moles who are in charge of PDP, but Wike is still a member of the PDP. The jokes write themselves daily. The PDP is a dead party awaiting funeral rites.”
His comments reflect growing disillusionment with the PDP’s internal dynamics, as the party struggles with leadership issues and public perception. Ugochinyere’s expulsion, following a report by the party’s disciplinary committee, has sparked further criticism, with many questioning the party’s commitment to fairness and consistency in handling its members.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expelled Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the House of Representatives member for Ideato North/Ideato South in Imo State, over serious allegations of indiscipline and anti-party behavior.
In a letter issued on December 5, 2024, the Ideato LGA chapter of the PDP announced Ugochinyere’s expulsion, citing his failure to adhere to party norms. According to the disciplinary committee’s report, Ugochinyere was found guilty of a series of offenses, including neglecting to attend party meetings, spreading unauthorized information about internal disputes, and establishing rival party structures at the ward, LGA, and national levels. His repeated public criticisms and derogatory statements against the party and its leaders were also flagged as actions that harmed the party’s image.
This decision follows a suspension issued earlier in October 2024, after Ugochinyere failed to respond to disciplinary summons. The party leadership emphasized that his actions were in clear violation of PDP’s constitution, leading to his expulsion with immediate effect. Ugochinyere is now officially no longer a member of the PDP.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed the expulsion of House of Representatives member Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere from his ward chapter in Imo State as null and void.
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the PDP declared that Ugochinyere remains a legitimate member of the party, despite the expulsion by the Umuopia/Umukegwu Ward chapter over alleged indiscipline, insubordination, and anti-party activities.
The disciplinary action was based on a report from the party’s disciplinary committee, which had investigated Ugochinyere for misconduct. The NWC emphasized that the expulsion did not follow the party’s constitutional procedures and is therefore ineffective.
In response, local government chairmen of the PDP in Imo State reaffirmed Ugochinyere as the party’s leader in the state, praising his leadership and calling for the removal of the acting national chairman and secretary to revitalize the party.
