Caretaker Committee of the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, says it has received a letter from Andoni over the suspension of Hon. Inombek Abiante representing Andoni/Opobo constituecy in the House of Representatives by his ward executives.
Caretaker Committee Chairman of the party, Hon. Aaron Chukwuemeka disclosed this in a statement Today.
He said Abiante’s suspension has been ratified by the Andoni chapter of the party, adding that a panel has been set up to give him fair hearing before taking necessary action.
“Day before, we got a letter from Andoni, suspending Honourable Abiante. Having been suspending at the Ward level and ratified at the LGA level, we have set up a panel to give him a fair hearing before knowing what next to do..
“This is Abiante that was begging me to beg Wike during campaign. And wike discovered all of them, today Wike is a bad man. He was crying at the campaign office. The same Abiante was on national television with Ugochinyere, buying a matter that doesn’t concern him, to go against the National Working Committee and we were at the NWC meeting before the NEC, that matter came up when Kaduna State Chairman said their National member went for press conference concerning another State when issues in kaduna State had not been addressed.
“It was there that they mentioned Abiante and Co., plotting how to remove the National Working Committee and the same man now has been found wanting from his ward, to LGA, finally, it has landed at the State.
“Secretary, set up the committee. If you find him free, I don’t have any problem with it. But I’m telling you, he has an issue already at the National which is not within our purview to address,” he said.
