Revealing this on Wednesday while briefing journalists in Abuja, National Publicity Secretary of the Chief Okeke-led faction, Ikechukwu Chukwunyere said Soludo was suspended for alleged “anti party activities”.
According to him, that the former CBN governors has been found to be working against the unity of the party.
Chukwunyere added that Soludo’s suspension was in line with the provisions of the party’s constitution, guidelines set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Electoral Act.
He went on to note that “The party is ready for the July 1 primary election and the winner will lead APGA to victory at the November 6, 2021 governorship election.”
The faction described the primaries held in Awka, the Anambra state capital last week where Soludo emerged the winner of the party’s ticket as “a sham and effort in futility.”
It added that the outcome of the primaries which produced Soludo as the party’s flag bearer was already being challenged in court, adding that, “in due course, the court will declare it invalid, unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.”
