Presidential Committee orders APC to lift suspension on Okorocha

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has been ordered by the Presidential Support Committee, PSC, South East Zone to lift the suspension imposed on Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha.

According to the Presidential Committee which also gave a 48 hour ultimatum to effect the order, the suspension of Okorocha came to it as a rude shock.

The Presidential Committee at a press briefing in Owerri on Tuesday, added that the act was done by a cabal of the APC and also wondered why the party would suspend what it described as one the “major financier of the party.”

According to the presidential committee: “Okorocha’s suspension came to us as a rude shock. There is no way a cabal can suspend a major financier of the party. We give the NWC and the national chairman 48 hours to reverse the suspension without delay else, we will resort to legal and mass action against the leadership of APC.

“The suspension is aimed at disorganising Igbo ahead of 2023. Oshiomhole cannot wake up and suspend a major financier of the party. We plead with Buhari not to allow some few individuals to rubbish his friends because we know that Okorocha is a good friend of the president.”

The Presidential committee were led to the press briefing by the Director of Inter-Party Affairs, South East; Robert Ngwu, National Legal Adviser; Ejikeme Ugwu and Director, Political Matters; Comrade Maxwel Okoye.
