Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has expelled a former councilor representing the Obio\/Akpor legislative council of Rivers State, Hon. Achor Nna.<\/p>\n

According to a letter signed by the PDP Ward 9 Chairman in Obio\/Akpor LGA, Collins Chukwu and dated March 9, 2024, Nna was accused of failing to defend himself from allegations of misappropriation and misconduct while in office.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that the development is coming barely three days after Nna resigned his position as councilor and declared support for the sitting governor, Siminalayi Fubara.<\/p>\n

The suspension letter reads, \u201cThe Ward 9 PDP executive under the able Chairmanship of Chukwu Collins Wobo, JP on the 10th day of February 2024 received from the Elioparanwo PDP chapter the suspension of Hon Achor Nna the former leader of OBIO\/AKPOR LGA council legislative arm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe disciplinary committee headed by Chief Solomon Chime Esq invited him (Achor Nna) severally and repeatedly to appear before the committee to defend himself of the grievous allegations (misappropriation of funds and misconduct) against him which invitations were utterly turned down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn view of the above the chairman of Ward 9 acting in compliance with chapter 10, section 57 (1) of the party constitution set up a disciplinary committee purposely to ascertain the veracity of the allegations against Hon. Achor Nna.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, the resignation of Hon Achor Nna from his position as the leader of OBIO AKPOR legislative council and as councillor Ward 9 didn\u2019t come to us a surprise because he couldn\u2019t defend himself from the allegations against him which led to his expulsion from the Party.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, the political crisis in Rivers state is far from resolution as both sides continue jostling for control of the political structure in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawmaker\u2019s resignation and subsequent sack from the party may not be unconnected to the political crisis rocking the state.<\/p>\n

Fubara and his immediate predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, have been fighting over the control of the state.<\/p>\n
