In a 10-point letter of suspension which was signed by the PDP ward chairman of Wigbeke ward II, Clement Elom, the two politicians were accused of anti-party activities including allegedly purchasing APC nomination forms in Abuja.

Elom further alleged that the PDP chieftains were suspended from the party at the ward level after critical stakeholders meeting and party executives where it was confirmed that Igwe and Mgbada were seen in APC office in Abuja negotiating to defect to the APC the former had lost the mock delegate election to Chinedu Awo.

Part of the letter of suspension read “that you Emeka Igwe and Geoffry Mgbada having been accused of indulging in anti-party activities and your inability to absolve yourselves of the allegation are hereby suspended from the party.

“You have also been suspended from our great party for your gross misconduct which includes but not limited to your disobedience to the guidelines of the party and disobedience to the leader of the party, David Umahi, the governor and your insistence to run for the post of Ohaukwu North State Constituency against all odds despite your loss to Chinedu Awo in the hotly contested mock delegate election conducted by the governor himself. ”

The letter further stated that “Having viewed your arrogance and disregards to the party and your constant attacks on the person of the governor and leaders of the party in the state, we hereby suspend you, Emeka Igwe and Chief Geoffrey Mgbada from our party at the ward.”

The letter further alleged that the suspended members of the party also purchased the APC nomination form in Abuja to contest the election.

However, when contacted, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Emmanuel Uzor, who also hails from the ward said he had not received the official letter of suspension of the duo but confirmed they were suspended from the party at the ward for alleged anti-party activities.
