In a related development, youths of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State have demanded the suspension of a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police, Udom Ekpoudum and a former presidential aide, Senator Ita Enang, and others over alleged anti-party activities.
Briefing newsmen in Uyo yesterday , the coordinator of the group, Mr Ubokobong Michael, said their actions violated Articles 2, 7 and 9 and Article 21 of the APC Constitution (as amended) 2022, and flouted presidential directive that every aspirant of the party should withdraw lawsuits against candidates and explore party internal mechanisms to resolve all post-primary elections issues.
The youths under the auspices of the Progressive Young People Movement, flayed their roles in allegedly stalling the candidatures of Akan Udofia and Godswill Akpabio through legal actions.
They went on to call on President Muhammadu Buhari, the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu and the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu,to wade into the litigation crisis in the state.
Michael expressed concern over anti-party activities exhibited by the APC stalwarts, adding that their actions are contradictory to the dictates of the party’s constitution.
