According to them, “the ward executive erred by not communicating perceived allegations against Madam Onochie to the local government executive, a body statutorily recognised as the adjudicatory body in the first instance, as enshrined in Section 21 of the party’s constitution, but rather shunted the due process by contacting the state executive committee.”

The statement added that the suspension of Onochie from the party was executed by impersonators, which is in violation of certain sections of the party’s constitution.
