YPP Sacks 2 Abia Lawmakers For Supporting Governor Otti

Two lawmakers of Abia State House of Assembly have been expelled as members of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) for alleged anti-party activities.

The embattled lawmakers include Hon. Ahuama Fyne Onyekachi, who represents Osisioma South State Constituency, and Hon. Iheanacho Nwogu of Osisioma North Constituency.

It was learnt that Onyekachi was accused of making utterances deemed to be supportive of the Abia State Government led by Governor Alex Otti of the Labour Party.

When given an opportunity to respond to the allegations, Onyekachi’s defence was deemed unsatisfactory by the YPP executives in his Amator 8 Ward.

According to a source at the YPP National Secretariat, Onyekachi also accused him of remaining unrepentant in his support for Otti’s administration.

On those grounds, the YPP ward executives resolved to expel Onyekachi in a letter endorsed by the YPP chairman in his Amator 8 Ward, John Okpomechila, and the secretary, Akwarandu Ogumuo.

The lawmakers’ expulsion was also endorsed by the party executives at the local government and national levels.
