All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo state has suspended the membership of the state governor, Rochas Okorocha due to gross anti-party activities.
Okorocha was said to be campaigning for his son-in-law, who is a member of Action Alliance, during an APC campaign rally in the state, even though the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari was present.
The Imo State Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party, Prince Marcellinus Nlemigbo, said that a letter conveying the message has been sent to the National Chairman of the party.

“A letter by the Imo State chapter of the APC signed by the chairman conveyed the suspension to the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole. We regretted that Okorocha who is the party’s candidate for Imo West Senatorial District has vowed to undermine the APC and its electoral interest,” he said.
Nlemigbo added that the decision was to save the party from the “machinations of Okorocha”, with the expulsion giving him time so that he can fully move to his party, the Action Alliance (AA).”
