It was titled “Notice Of Suspension Of Hon. Samson R. Osagie, Hon. Roland Alari, and Others.”
The letter read:
“Following compelling petitions of anti-party activities, fictionalisation, absenteeism from party meetings, and sabotage in the just-concluded general elections from some party stakeholders at our disposal, we wish to covey the suspension of the under-listed persons from the All Progressives Congress, Uhunmwode LGA chapter.
“We urge you to apply your good office in ratifying this suspension to avoid their interference with the process of investigation.
“We have named a three-man disciplinary committee to be chaired by Prof. David Osifo, with Dr. Washington Osifo and Dan Ogbegie as Secretary and member respectively.”
