The Imo State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has suspended its state over a court order banning it from holding such Congresses.
This was disclosed in a statement dated July 30th.
The statement read:
ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC), IMO STATE
RE: COURT ORDER: APC CONGRESSES IN IMO SUSPENDED
– MEMBERS URGED TO REMAIN CALM, COMPLY WITH DIRECTIVE
The All Progessives Congress, APC, in Imo State by this statement wishes to acknowledge receipt of the order of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), which has mandated cancellation of every arrangement for the Congresses slated for, tomorrow, Saturday, July 31, 2021.
However discomforting this development might be, as a law abiding party, the State Caretaker Committee and the leadership of the party, rising from an emergency meeting, this evening, direct thus:
1. Consequent upon today’s Order of the High Court of the FCT, the Imo State APC Ward Congress is hereby suspended forthwith.
2. All officers, stakeholders and members of our party are also directed to comply with this resolution, maintain decorum and await further directive from the party.
It is important to clarify that this temporary setback is a handwork of enemies of our party, using one Okey Anyikwa, who parades himself as Chairman of our great party in Ideato South Local Government Area.
We therefore urge our teeming members to remain calm, law abiding and not to be irked by this unbecoming provocative activities of disgruntled elements.
