The Labour Party (LP) has suspended Senator Kelvin Chukwu, who represents the Enugu East Senatorial Zone, over allegations of anti-party activities and insubordination.
The suspension was issued by the Amurri Ward executives of the party and communicated through a letter addressed to the Enugu State Chairman of the Labour Party via the Local Government Chairman.
The letter, signed by Comrade Chika Okoh on behalf of the Executive Council of Amurri Ward, outlined the reasons for the action, stating:
“Notice of Your Suspension from the Labour Party
We, the members of the Executive Council of the Labour Party, Amurri Ward, Nkanu West LGA, hereby formally notify you, Distinguished Senator Kelvin Chukwu, of your suspension from the Labour Party for a period of 90 days, effective from the date of this notification and/or the date of your receipt of this notice.
This resolution has been passed as a result of your acts of insubordination to the leadership of the party, your involvement in anti-party activities, and your failure to adhere to the party’s principles.
You have failed to avail yourself of the opportunity to be heard, despite several requests made to you in this regard.
Be assured that the constitutional provisions of the party are at your disposal should you wish to assert them following your being suspended.”
The suspension is expected to last 90 days, during which Senator Chukwu has been invited to respond to the allegations or seek redress in accordance with the Labour Party’s constitutional provisions.
