Governor Rochas Okorocha of the eastern Nigerian state of Imo on Sunday described his suspension by the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) as “irrelevant\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

Okorocha, in a statement by his Media Assistant, Mr Chinedu Offor, in Owerri, however, urged the people of the state to remain calm and be law-abiding.<\/p>\n

“The governor is currently in the U.S. for a town hall meeting, organised by Imo indigenes at Atlanta, Georgia,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

Okorocha\u2019s suspension may not be unconnected to his active involvement in the merger talks, which eventually led to the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC). <\/p>\n

In the communiqu\u00e9, the NEC unanimously resolved to suspend Okorocha from the party for anti-party activities, which were contrary to the provisions of the APGA constitution.<\/p>\n

“The NEC also unanimously resolved to dissolve the Imo Executive Committee of APGA with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

“A 21-member caretaker committee shall be appointed to run the affairs of the party in Imo pending the conduct of the state congress,\u201d the NEC said in the communiqu\u00e9.<\/p>\n
