Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha says he has sacked Adams Oshiomhole as the Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for anti-party activities.

Speaking on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television, Okorocha said the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party led by Oshiomhole lacked the power to suspend him.

Reacting to his suspension from the ruling party by the APC NWC, the Governor said as a founder of the APC, he could authoritatively say that Oshiohmole was involved in anti-party activities.

His words: “I just heard from media reports that I have been suspended from the party. I think Adams is seeking for relevance and attention. He doesn’t have such powers to remove somebody without following due process.

“I think Adams is the biggest player of anti-party in APC. The man has simply destroyed the party to a great extent. So, I have sacked him from the party.

“If he thinks he can just stand up and say he has suspended me from the party I founded without following the due process, in the same manner I have sacked him from the party.”

While accusing Oshiomhole of imposing Hope Uzodinma as the APC gubernatorial candidate in Imo, he added: “The candidate that Oshiohmole imposed on the party in Imo State lost his votes for the presidential election and all the members of the coalition in Imo State worked for PDP.”
