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.
