In an effort to sanitise the party, the IMO State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hinted that it would sanction members who worked or are working against its interests in the state.
State Deputy Chairman of PDP, Martins Ejiogu, who spoke to journalists in Owerri, stated this while reacting to the sack of three council chairmen and 26 ward officials in the state by its leadership.
He disclosed that the affected persons were removed following ratification of the State Working Committee (SWC) reports of the Disciplinary Committee that investigated their activities and found them guilty of anti-party activities, insubordination and other related offenses contrary to the party’s constitution.
The affected chairmen are, Tony Mbaegbu (Ideato South), Anayo Udechukwu (Isu) and Anayo Nwaejesi (Oru East), while Polycarp Ajoko, Bony Ugwuegbu, Vincent Okehie and Ekene Ibejiuba are among ward officials who were sanctioned.
Ejiogu said while the PDP welcomes new members who desire to join the party, those whose activities and loyalty had become questionable and inimical to the success of the party would be shown the way out.
