APC Suspends Uche Ogah For Supporting Otti’s Second Term Bid by Ofunaofu(op): 3:43am On Mar 17
The Abia State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the former Minister, Dr Sampson Ogah, following what the party described as anti-party activities.

Ogah had in a Labour Party event over the weekend in Isuikwuato, declared his support for the reelection of the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, but also reiterated his loyalty to President, Bola Tinubu.

‎Addressing journalists at the Party’s Secretariat, Umuahia on Monday after a meeting involving the party’s State Working Committee and the 17 Local Government Area Chairmen, the party’s Legal Adviser, Vigenus Chukwudi Nwankwo, said Ogah had already been suspended at the ward and local government levels since 2022 over alleged anti party activities.

‎Nwankwo explained that the party could not suspend Ogah again, but only reaffirm the existing disciplinary action against him.

‎Citing the provisions of Article 22, Section 2, Subsection 2 of the party’s constitution, he maintained that Ogah remains a suspended member of the party.

‎According to him, the comments attributed to the former minister are capable of undermining the party’s chances in the 2027 governorship election in the state.

The party further expressed concern that statements by individuals who claim membership of the APC could bring the party to disrepute and weaken its political prospects in Abia ahead of the 2027 election.

‎Earlier at the meeting, the Deputy Chairman of the party in the state, Chinedu Ihesielo, congratulated the 17 local government chairmen on the successful conduct of the party congresses at the ward, local government and state levels.

‎He urged party leaders to remain united, stressing that internal disagreements should give way to collective efforts aimed at strengthening the party ahead of future elections.

‎Ihesielo added that the APC in Abia remains committed to reclaiming political leadership in the state in the next electoral cycle.

‎During the meeting, the party also endorsed Donatus Nwankpa for the position of National Welfare Secretary at the forthcoming national convention of the APC scheduled for March 28, 2027.

‎Party leaders said Nwankpa has demonstrated commitment and experience within the party structure and expressed confidence in his ability to serve effectively if elected.

APC, take over in Abia State? Which candidate can contest with Otti? What will he use to campaign?
Anyway, Professor Madam Ori has shown Abians how to protect their votes. Opposition should also support any party that is doing good,not for them to be aiming at power to draw the state backwards.

The hypocrisy of the weeeked coven APC. Wike can carryout anti party activities and they are all happy about it.

Instead they should support Ogah thesame way they hail and support Wike's anti party activities. After all he is also pledging loyalty to the fake certificate holder thesame way Wike pledges loyalty while engaging in anti party activities

Just imagine what that cult group called apc is doing!
Interestingly,this desperation never transpired during the regime of a so called military man.
For all Buhari obvious sins,he never tried to influence governors into joining apc by hook or crook.
But fast-forward to an acclaimed democrat,look at what is happening in Nigeria.

They don't want to contest with Otti. They are doing all these to put pressure on him so he can decamp to the APC. They think that will automatically make him deliver the state to Tinubu.

Lol they can't eat what they dish, o so it's a crime to act like this, I thought 🤔 they said one man doing it in Abuja is not bad. Well it will be wise for this man to leave while the ship is yet afloat because what will come for APC will be unheard off. This I have said

Re: APC Suspends Uche Ogah For Supporting Otti’s Second Term Bid by Richtaiwo(m): 9:09am On Mar 17
You can not remain a member of the APC and be campaigning for a LP candidate. If you wish to support a candidate from another party, you are at liberty to defect, no one would object.

As for headless mobs talking about Wike, a PDP member, supporting Tinubu, do they expect APC to sanction wike in PDP? Or APC should help PDP put its house in order? It would be anyone's pleasure to see his opponent's camp in disarray.

Clearly, headless mobs are using expired brains.

Yet, the serving minister of state for petroleum, Heineken Lokpobiri was not suspended for supporting Douye Diri of PDP against Timipre Sylva of APC in the last governorship election in Bayelsa State.

Who is deceiving who? What is good in bayelsa politics is not good in abia abi

Re: APC Suspends Uche Ogah For Supporting Otti’s Second Term Bid by Cherrybae(f): 9:15am On Mar 17
APC is too well organised. A party with balls.

Unlike other parties that cannot suspend members for Anti party activities.

Those calling wike here and there, did APC stop PDP from suspending wike.

Only a no nonsense party acts without fear.

Alex Otti is doing well and will defeat any candidates that contest against him. Otti is loved by his people.

I stand with Otti while I support APC for the suspension.

Ogah should do the needful, resign from APC, join Otti than Anti party
