The All Progressives Congress in Anambra State has expelled 30 members for instituting court actions against the party.
The state Publicity Secretary of the party, Valentine Iyiegbu, disclosed this on Monday after a meeting of the State Executive Committee in Awka.
Iyiegbu said the decision was taken in line with Article 21, Subsection 5 of the party’s constitution.
According to him, some of the affected members are aspirants seeking the party’s tickets for seats in the National Assembly.
He noted that their expulsion could affect their eligibility to participate in the party’s primary elections.
He said, “No fewer than 30 members of the APC in the state have been expelled following their litigations against the party. The party discussed those who took the party to court, and many of them are contesting for the House of Representatives tickets of the party.
“The matter comes up tomorrow, and the SEC stated that what the party constitution stipulates would be followed, which is outright expulsion from the party under Article 21, Subsection 5.
“The SEC actually ratified their expulsion because they did not exhaust all the internal avenues provided by the party to resolve their grievances.”
Iyiegbu explained that the party resolved to expel the members because they failed to exhaust internal mechanisms for resolving disputes before approaching the court.
He, however, said the affected members could still get a reprieve if they withdrew their cases from court.
He also disclosed that all 11 House of Representatives seats and the three Senate seats in the state currently have aspirants contesting for the party’s tickets.
The party further ratified the appointment of a five-member primary elections committee headed by the State Organising Secretary, Izuchukwu Okeke.
