The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers has expelled Mr Benibo Fredrick Anabraba, the Minority Leader in the state House of Assembly, over alleged anti-party activities.
This is contained in a copy of the expulsion letter signed by Chief Davies Ikanya, the APC Chairman in the state, and made available to journalists in Port Harcourt on Monday.
The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Anabraba is the APC
legislator representing Akuku-Toru Constituency 2 in the assembly.
The
letter stated that the State Working Committee (SWC) of the party
expelled Anabraba for allegedly failing to attend meetings to clear the
allegations against him after three invitations.
It
alleged that Anabraba’s refusal to attend the proceedings on the
three occasions he was invited confirmed his disrespect to constituted
authority.
“The party considers your wilful
and deliberate refusal to make yourself available to answer to the
allegations against you as sufficient confirmation that the said
allegations against you are true.
“Therefore,
the party pursuant to relevant provisions of the constitution of the
APC (Oct. 2014 as amended), particularly Article 21 (A) ii, iii, hereby
expels you from the party,” the letter said.
Efforts
by NAN to reach Anabraba for his reaction failed as he was not in his
office at the assembly and would not pick calls put through to his GSM
line.
