The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State has expelled Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the member representing Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency and spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), citing gross indiscipline, insubordination, and anti-party activities.
The expulsion, conveyed in a letter dated December 5, 2024, was signed by Ideato LGA PDP Chairman, ThankGod Okeke, and Secretary, Onyebuchi Umeh, and followed recommendations from the party’s disciplinary committee. The committee found Ugochinyere guilty of forming parallel party structures, unauthorized public disputes, and making derogatory statements against party leaders, among other breaches.
The decision follows Ugochinyere’s suspension in October after failing to respond to multiple invitations to address the allegations against him. Efforts to reach the lawmaker for his reaction were unsuccessful as of press time.
