DELTA APC EXPELS EMERHOR; TO FACE PROSECUTION

Sequel to the earlier expulsion of Ogodo and others by the Erue-led State Working Committee of the All Progressive Congress, APC in Delta State, Olorogun Otega Emerhor has also been expelled from the party for participating in a parallel senatorial primary organised by the expelled Ogodo.

Olorogun Emerhor, a red chamber aspirant to represent Delta Central was also accused of breaching the rules and regulations that govern the conduct and participation in primary elections in the party.

The decision to expel him was taken by the state working committee during an emergency meeting as Emerhor was found to have engaged in the forgery of Party’s election materials (ballot papers), alteration of delegate lists, falsification of nomination results and the tampering with the process of internal democracy.

The statement released by the State Secretary, Mr Chidi Okonji of the party reads:-

“Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor be and is hereby expelled from the Party with immediate effect.

“That this expulsion becomes necessary for organising and participating in an illegal purported primary election for the Delta Central senatorial district that took place on the 2nd of October 2018 which was conducted without the authorisation and permission of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party.

“That uncontroverted evidence in possession of the Party reveals that Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor engaged in the forgery of Party’s election materials (ballot papers), alteration of delegate lists, falsification of nomination results and the tampering with the process of internal democracy of the Party in gross violation of the provisions of Article 21(A)i, ii, iv, vi and xi of the Party’s Constitution thereby bringing the Party into public ridicule and disrepute.

“That the use of unauthorised forged ballot papers by Olorogun O’Tega Emerhor in voting during the said purported primary is a criminal offence for which the Party has forwarded a formal petition to the commissioner of police for his arrest and possible prosecution”.
