The All
Progressives Congress in Enugu State has expelled a former Secretary to the
State Government, Chief Onyemauche Nnamani, over alleged misconduct.
Nnamani’s
expulsion was announced by the Chairman of the APC in Enugu State, Dr Ben
Nwoye, on Sunday.
According to
Nwoye, Nnamani, who served as SSG in Enugu during the administration of former
governor Chimaraoke Nnamani, was expelled for taking the APC to court ‘without
first ventilating his grievances through internal mechanisms provided in the
party’s constitution.’
The
development contravened provisions of Article 21 of the APC constitution, which
deals with ‘discipline of members,’ Nwoye said.
Nnamani
contested the position of APC national vice chairman, South-East, during the party’s
national convention.
However, the
election was eventually won by the incumbent, Chief Emma Eneukwu.
Nwoye
disclosed that a petition filed by Nnamani against the outcome of the election
was dismissed by the national convention appeal committee.
The Enugu
APC chairman added that Nnamani went ahead to drag the party and Eneukwu to
court over the same matter.
In the suit,
Nnamani reportedly averred that Eneukwu did not obtain any waiver that would
allow him to contest for the position during the convention.
