There are fears that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be sanctioning Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Deacon Chike Okafor and Ugonna Ozuruigbo, over alleged anti-party activities.

Okafor is the lawmaker representing Okigwe South federal constituency, while Deacon Okafor is the deputy speaker of Imo state House of Assembly.

Vanguard reports that feelers for the impending sanction of the APC members emerged after a meeting of APC candidates led by the party’s governorship candidate, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

Legit.ng gathers that the meeting, which was held at the new state secretariat of the party, was also attended by the deputy governor of the state, Prince Eze Madumere, and some members of the APC Coalition Forces.

Uzodinma said: “This is not just a mere anti-party activity, but an unpardonable action punishable by the extant laws of the party administration."

According to him, those involved in anti-party activities would become victims of expulsion. He described their actions as “dangerously against the goals of the party”.

Senator Uzodinma alleged that Governor Okorocha “was on the verge of turning the party to a family business”.

He said: “Those who are yet to come to terms with the reality that APC now has a gubernatorial candidate in the state, may sadly become victims of change."

He urged Nigerians to work for President Buhari's second term bid, adding that “most leaders of the South East have keyed into this project for his sincerity of purpose in the Nigerian project and wholistic re-integration of South East and Ndigbo”.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Imo deputy governor, Prince Eze Madumere, may bounce back as the running mate to the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the 2019 election in the state, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

According to report, Madumere's role in the Imo APC Restoration Coalition otherwise known as the ‘Allied Forces’ that successfully wrested the APC structure from Governor Rochas Okorocha was said to be the biggest consideration in his choice.

Many names were said to have been presented but the choice was narrowed down to Madumere because of his calm disposition.
