“The party at the state, zonal and national level are not aware of that.” Nigeria
Anyanwu, who represented Owerri Senatorial District in the 8th National Assembly, was suspended by his ward, Amaimo in Ikeduru Local Government Area of Imo State. His mother- Virginia was the party’s Woman Leader in the local government.
In the report submitted by an investigative committee headed by Chijioke Anyanwu and Felix Orji, Chairman and Secretary respectively, the suspended persons were accused of canvassing for votes and voted for the opposition in virtually all elections in disregard to party directives and objectives. Other members suspended are former State Legal Adviser Uche Igbokwe, ward chairman Joseph Ugwulebo, ward treasurer Patrick Onyejiuwa and the ward Women leader Paulina Onumajuru.
When contacted, Anyanwu described the suspension as the handiwork of mischief makers, stressing that with his status in the party, the ward does not have the power to suspend him from the party.
