The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ideato North local government and Umukegwu/Umuopia ward chapters have dismissed the expulsion of Imo Ugochinyere.
Naija News reported that the member of the House of Representatives, representing Ideato North/South Constituency, Ugochinyere, was expelled by the Imo State executives of the party.
In a joint statement, on Saturday ward and local government party leaders described the expulsion of Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere as fake news, which should be disregarded by members of the public.
In the statement, the party’s chairmen for Umukegwu/Umuopia ward and Ideate North, Mathias Onuebunwa and Emeka Eze, respectively, declared that Ugochinyere remained a full member of PDP in Umukegwu/Umuopia ward, Ideato North, Imo state and country as a whole.
“The Ward and LGA executive of Umukegwu/Umuopia ward and Ideato North LG PDP wants the public to disregard the fake news by pro-Wike APC members been coordinated by the disgraced national secretary of PDP Sam Anyawu on the purported expulsion of the state leader of Imo PDP, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere and strong pillar and iroko of Ideato North and Umukegwu/Umuopia ward PDP.
“Ikenga is a strong member of PDP, and we at the ward and LGA will never have any reason to suspend him not to talk of expelling him. Rather we owe him a debt of salute and confidence for his courageous battle to rescue PDP from political traitors who are in bed to sell PDP to APC led by Anywau and Damagun under the guidance of their pay Master working as minister for APC.
“Ikenga is above such dreams of political kids whose efforts to please their disgraced paymasters can’t bother Ikenga, who is the state leader of Imo PDP since he is the highest officer elected today under PDP. We have our confidence in our leader,” it read.
