The leadership of the Labour Party has slammed an indefinite suspension on Gov. Alex Otti of Abia State, Sen. Ireti Kingibe and two others for alleged anti-party activities.
This comes after the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Labour Party set up a Five man Disciplinary Committee headed by the Deputy National Chairman, Dr.Ayo Olorunfemi, Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, the National Secretary and three others to investigate Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti and any other party members over allegations of anti party activities.
Announcing the suspension in a statement, the party’s leadership said “The Disciplinary Committee has concluded their assignment and has submitted their report to the party leadership.
“The National Executive of the party met today May 7th, 2025 and after exhaustive deliberation in line with powers donated to it by the Party Constitution has ratified the recommendation as submitted by the Disciplinary Committee.
“Consequent upon that, the following members of the party have been suspended from the party and all its activities, indefinitely and with immediate effect.
1. Dr. Alex Otti
2. Senator Ireti Kingibe
3. Senator Darlington Nwokocha
4. Hon. Victor Afam Ogene
5. Hon. Amobi Ogah
6. Hon. Seyi Sowunmi
“By this suspension, these former members of the party will no longer act for and on behalf of the party. All concerned institutions including the Nigeria Governors Forum, the National Assembly, INEC and security agencies among others are to take note.” The statement concluded.
Sen. Nenadi Usman Omitted
Senator Nenadi Usman was conspicuously omitted from the list of the suspended members of the party as the party contended she was not a member of the party but only a member of the Obidient Support group that worked for Peter Obi.
