Imo PDP Expels Ikenga Ugochinyere Over Anti-Party Activities

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Imo has expelled a member representing Ideato Federal Constituency, Ikenga Ugochinyere, over alleged misconduct and anti-party activities.

The expulsion was contained in a letter dated December 5, and signed by the chairman and secretary of the party in Ideato LGA Thankgod Okeke and Onyebuchi Umeh.

The expulsion followed the report of the party’s disciplinary committee, dated November 27, 2024, which investigated misconduct charges against Mr Ugochinyere in line with Section 57 (1-4) of the PDP constitution 2017 as amended.

Mr Ugochinyere, who has been very critical of the national leadership of the party, was earlier suspended at his Umuopia/Umukegwu ward on October 14, after reportedly failing to honour an invitation to appear before the ward executive committee on October 5, to answer to allegations of disciplinary offences and ignoring reminders and further invitations sent to him on October 7, 2024.

“Upon receipt of the report, the LGA Executive Committee of Ideato North met on the 5th of December, 2024, and unanimously adopted the report of the disciplinary committee.

“In light of this, Hon. Imo Ugochinyere Ikeagwonu is hereby expelled from the party, PDP, with immediate effect, and he ceases to be a member of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Umuopia/Umukegwu ward of Ideato North LGA.

“The party found Ugochinyere guilty of deliberate failure to attend meetings and participate in activities of the party for a long time in breach of Section 58 [1]e] of the PDP constitution 2017 as amended.

“He was said to have engaged in unauthorised publicity of disputes within the party, which contravenes section 58[1]i of the party’s constitution.

“Also, he formed parallel executives and organs of the party in his ward and at the LGA and national levels, which also breaches the party’s constitution.

“Furthermore, he was found guilty of consistently making derogatory and provocative public statements against the party and some of its national leaders, an action that brought the party to public ridicule,” the letter read.
