Ebonyi ADC ratifies suspension of Onu over anti- party activities

The Ebonyi State Executive Committee of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has ratified the suspension of Silas Onu, who was earlier suspended from his Obiozara Ward over alleged anti-party activities, gross misconduct, fictionalization of party structures and a breach of the party’s constitution and electoral act.

He explained that the reason for the suspension of Onu for three months was based on his action,emphasizing that his action was capable of bring the party to disrepute and destabilizing it.

The letter read in part, “Your actions caused significant commotion and brought the Ebonyi State ADC into disrepute at the national.

“You have been seen in public events, newspapers, social media, parading yourself as the elected chairman of ADC Ebonyi State, unknown to this world.

“In reality, the leaders of ADC, Obiozara Ward, have never met you before. You do not have any physical party card signed by the ward chairman and secretary. You took advantage of the online registration to perpetrate your deception of the public”, the secretary said.

“After a careful deliberation of the letter during the meeting by SEC members, motion to ratify Onu’s suspension was moved by the Ebonyi State ADC Coordinator, Electoral Matters/INEC Liaison, Bassey Imoke-Edogi and seconded by the state Auditor, Vincent Eze after which the it was unanimously adopted by the members.”
