Crisis hits AA, as members call for arrest of suspended national chairman
Disturbed members of the Action Alliance (AA) have called on the police to arrest its suspended National Chairman, Mr Kenneth Udeze, with immediate effect.
The AA members who spoke through the acting National Secretary of the party, Mr Eli Moses, called for the arrest of Udeze, for alleged impersonation and running the party against its constitution.
Speaking during a news conference on Monday in Abuja, Moses said that Udeze was impersonating as the party’s national chairman when, indeed, he was under suspension.
Moses also added during the news conference that the national convention, held in Abuja on Sept. 7 by Udeze, was illegal and criminal.
He said; “We are calling on police to arrest him (Udeze) for impersonation because that meeting was meant to mislead Nigerians.
Somebody under suspension is not supposed to call for any meeting. What Udeze is doing is unacceptable to the party.
“Whatever he must have said or any comment made against the integrity of INEC should be disregarded because he is not speaking for AA. He is on suspension; so whatever he says is personal.
“His calling for a meeting on Sept 7, having been suspended, is still part of the criminal offence,” Moses added.
