Abia ADC Publicity Secretary Denies Suspension of State Chairman

Nkem Ukaegbu, Umuahia

Abia State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has been thrown into confusion following an unauthorised publication claiming the suspension of the State Chairman.

However, the State Publicity Secretary, Chiamaka Ohaja, has swiftly disowned the publication, describing it as null and void.

According to Ohaja, the publication did not originate from her office, and she is the only State Working Committee (SWC) member responsible for managing the party’s public communications.

She emphasized that the Abia ADC, under the leadership of Don Norman Obinna, does not have any factions, and she is not aware of any SWC chaired by one Mazi Kanu O. Kanu.

Ohaja further stated that the purported suspension and announcement of an acting chairman lack the consent or approval of the National Executive Committee (NEC). She pointed out that the ADC National Working Committee (NWC), ratified by the NEC, is the only organ of the party constitutionally empowered to suspend the occupant of the revered office of State Chairman.

The Publicity Secretary urged all Abia ADC members and the public to disregard the misleading publication and refrain from engaging with the individuals or claims therein.

She warned that the self-serving SWC members responsible for this misinformation will face disciplinary action in due course.

Ohaja reassured the public that the Abia ADC remains committed to unity, the rule of law, and its vision for a prosperous Abia State.

She directed all official inquiries about the Abia ADC to her mobile contact: +2347067459109.
