YPP NWC Announces Rep Peter Uzokwe’s Expulsion From Party

The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has expelled a member of the House of Representatives, Rep Peter Uzokwe from the party.

The party’s National Working Committee cited anti-party activities and gross misconduct.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Rep Peter Uzokwe , who represents Nnewi North/ Nnewi South/ Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, had his expulsion announced by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Martins Egbeola on Monday.

Martins noted that this decision was taken during an emergency meeting of the National Working Committee of the party at the YPP National Secretariat, Abuja.

Recall that in a viral video, Rep Peter had openly declared support for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and its guber candidate, Governor Chukwuma Soludo ahead of the November 8  Anambra State governorship election.

‘YPP is not contesting any election. Did you hear me? I am the leader of YPP, and my supporters are here. In my constituency, I have told them to collapse it for His Excellency, Chukwuma Soludo.

We are not contesting any election. Even if we contest any, it has to be for Anambra North. So, YPP is not contesting. Only APGA and Soludo are running for this election. I will be home till after the election when His Excellency (Soludo) is returned to office’ the federal lawmaker had submitted

Reacting to the video in question, YPP NWC said the federal lawmaker’s assertion is false, misleading, and a deliberate act of sabotage against the party.

‘The National Working Committee has ratified the immediate expulsion of Hon. Peter Uzokwe, member representing Nnewi North/ Nnewi South/ Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, for gross misconduct in contravention of the party’s constitution on Offences and Sanctions in Section 36(7), Article (b, f & o), page 68, after several petitions and video evidence of anti-party activities.

 The party categorically refutes his false claim of being the leader of the YPP. At no time did the Party ratify or appoint him as its leader following the vacation of this position by the late Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah.

Uzokwe’s recent appearance at an APGA rally, where he falsely declared that YPP has no candidate in the forthcoming Anambra State Governorship Election, is not only misleading but also an act of desperation by a man whose political relevance has waned’ Martins submitted.

The NWC of YPP also described Rep Peter’s conduct as ‘gross indiscipline and a deliberate attempt to deceive the public’ while urging members and supporters to disregard his comments and remain loyal to the party–Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
